Prison can also make money, Yoon Suk-yeol received 650 million won in the detention center, which is 2.5 times the annual salary of Lee Jae-myung.

Only in South Korea could such a ridiculous thing happen, where you can make money while in prison.

Recently, documents released by the Ministry of Justice showed that within the 109 days of detention, former President Yoon Suk-yeol received more than 650 million South Korean won in managed funds, equivalent to about 3.18 million yuan, and this number continues to increase.

It is worth noting that Yoon Suk-yeol's side has already withdrawn this money 180 times. According to regulations, only when the detained person is released can all the managed funds be withdrawn at once; otherwise, they need to be transferred to the personal account in batches.

Additionally, Yoon Suk-yeol's wife, Kim Geon-hee, also received 22.5 million South Korean won in managed funds within two months, most of which has already been withdrawn.

One might think that this couple was not going to prison, but instead running a business. It is known that the managed funds Yoon Suk-yeol received in just over three months have exceeded the annual salary of the South Korean president. According to the data, Lee Jae-myung's annual salary this year is 262.58 million South Korean won, and the money Yoon Suk-yeol earned in prison is 2.5 times that amount.

The so-called managed funds are a form of donation used to buy daily necessities for detained individuals. Besides family and friends, people unrelated to the detainee can also transfer money.

Considering Yoon Suk-yeol's special status, the managed funds he received can also be considered political donations. Even though he no longer has any chance of returning to power and will not hold public office in the future, his loyal supporters still remain devoted to him, fearing that he might not live well in the detention center.

Of course, it is also possible that former colleagues paid Yoon Suk-yeol "silence fees," as Yoon Suk-yeol holds many people's secrets, and a few words could determine some people's fates.

But regardless of that, the regulation in South Korea is too absurd. Prisoners earn more than the president, which is nothing short of shocking.
