Prosecutors recently arrested Jeon, known as a health judge, on charges of violating the Political Fund Act.

During the 2018 local elections, he was accused of receiving illegal political funds, saying he would help politicians.

In this regard, the prosecution recently raided Jeon's home in Seoul.

Jeon is a shaman who was once known to have been active in Yoon Suk Yeol's presidential campaign in the past.

He is also known to be close to First Lady Kim Gun-hee, who was reportedly an advisor to Covana Content, which was run by First Lady Kim in the past, causing controversy.

At that time, President Yoon's camp explained that Jeon only received the title and did not actually work, and President Yoon also dismissed it as new.

Jeon also recently appeared in the suspicion of Myung Tae-kyun's intervention in the nomination.

It was alleged that Myung Tae-kyun complained that former lawmaker Kim Young-sun, the power of the people, was nominated thanks to the health judge.

As Jeon, who has been driving suspicions around President Yoon since the presidential election, has been arrested in a surprise move, attention is being paid to how the prosecution's investigation will flow in the future.
