- Special counsel Min Joong-ki's team charged Yoon Suk Yeol with accepting poll results provided at no cost in violation of political finance rules.
- Myung Tae-kyun, described by investigators as a power broker, was also indicted on charges of supplying the survey results to Yoon.
- Investigators say the polls were delivered between June 2021 and March 2022, the run-up to Yoon's 2022 presidential victory.
- Yoon's wife, Kim Keon Hee, was previously indicted on the same charge and is scheduled to receive a court verdict on January 28.
