South Korea's former President Park Geun-hye has been pardoned by the current President and will be released from jail where she's been serving a 22 year jail term.

Back in 2017 she was found guilty of a corruption scandal and in 2018 she was convicted of abuse of power and coercion. She has served four years of her sentence already.
