출소한 서부지법 폭도 “구치소서 윤석열 향해 매일 절했다”

A former inmate of the western district law court has revealed that he had been performing daily prayers at the prison in the direction of former President Yoon Suk-yeol. Online video creator Go Seong-guk introduced the inmate, known as "Gangmu," as a "western freedom youth" on his YouTube channel. Gangmu explained that he was imprisoned for one and a half years after being detained during the March 2019 western district law court riot.

He witnessed President Yoon Suk-yeol almost every day at the prison, noting that the former president resided in room 15-2 of the prison's 15th floor. Gangmu said he would perform his prayers every morning facing the president's direction. When asked if he ever conversed with the president, Gangmu replied, "I told him to enjoy his meal."

He added that the president's words never reached him. During a recent interview, Go Seong-guk clarified that the former president was allowed to perform outdoor exercises for up to one hour per day, as mandated by law. Unlike other inmates, President Yoon was required to exercise alone. In May, there was controversy over whether the president used three separate rooms for his solitary training, a claim the Ministry of Justice refuted, stating that President Yoon only used one solitary room, similar to other inmates, and that separate partitions were installed to minimize contact between inmates.
