Colonel Park Jung-hun was cleared of insubordination and defamation charges in a court-martial ruling that highlighted the political tensions surrounding his allegations against President Yoon Suk Yeol.
The prosecution of Colonel Park was viewed by opposition lawmakers as an example of how President Yoon's government used its power to suppress dissent and obscure accountability.
The case triggered a political crisis in South Korea, culminating in President Yoon's impeachment over unrelated allegations of establishing martial law and politically motivated arrests.
The ruling in favor of Colonel Park marks a significant moment in the ongoing debate regarding military accountability and government transparency in South Korea.
