In the government’s major public officials' asset disclosure announced at midnight on the 27th, the asset details of President Yoon Suk-yeol, who was impeached, were not disclosed.

The Ministry of Personnel Management explained that President Yoon’s asset details were not disclosed because he was under detention during the regular reporting period, making it impossible to submit a normal report, and therefore requested a deferment.

According to Article 6-3, Paragraph 2 of the Public Service Ethics Act, it is allowed to defer or exempt regular reporting in unavoidable circumstances. The reasons for deferment are limited to situations where normal reporting is impossible, such as detention, illness, or being missing.

A Ministry of Personnel Management official noted, "In the case of President Yoon, he was under detention from January 15 to March 8," adding, "He applied for a deferment as he was unable to make the regular asset reporting that took place from January 1 to February 28."

President Yoon postponed the regular report, but as his detention was lifted as of the 8th, he must complete the asset reporting by June 1. An official from the Ministry of Personnel Management stated, "President Yoon is currently in a situation where the reasons for deferment have been resolved," and added, "He must report within two months after the resolution date."

In last year's asset disclosure, President Yoon reported assets totaling 7.48112 billion won. The deposits were 5.61643 billion won. President Yoon reported deposits of 632.28 million won, while his spouse, Kim Keon-hee, reported 4.98414 billion won. The couple’s residence, AcroVista in Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, registered under Kim's name, was valued at 1.569 billion won.

Meanwhile, on this day’s asset disclosure, it was added that other key military officials, including the Minister of National Defense, the Chief of Army Staff, the Special Warfare Command Commander, the Counterintelligence Command Commander, and the Defense Command Commander, are also currently under detention and have deferred their regular asset reporting.
