  "summary": "Special counsel Kwon Chang-young's team has indicted 58 individuals, including former President Yoon Suk Yeol, in its 180-day investigation into allegations involving Yoon, his wife, and key administration officials. The investigation, which began in February, focused on allegations of insurrection charges related to Yoon's failed 2024 martial law bid, corruption allegations tied to former first lady Kim Keon Hee, and the death of a Marine in 2023. Kwon indicted Yoon on charges of abusing his power by instructing officials to justify his failed martial law bid to the United States and other major partner nations. The team also indicted others, including former National Security Adviser Shin Won-sik and former Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Kim Tae-hyo, for their alleged roles in the case. Yoon's wife, Kim, was indicted on charges of meddling in a presidential residence relocation project in 2022. With the conclusion of its investigation mandate, Kwon's team has transferred 46 cases involving 150 people over to police for further investigation.",
