The second special investigation team has been established to probe remaining allegations related to high-profile criminal cases in South Korea, particularly under the leadership of newly appointed lawyer Kwon Chang-young. With a mobilization of up to 251 personnel and the ability to investigate for an extended period of up to 170 days, the team has identified 17 key areas for investigation, including serious allegations of insurrection surrounding former military intelligence chief Noh Sang-won and various corruption cases involving the former president's spouse, Kim Kun-hee.

Among the alleged insurrection-related cases, the investigation will focus on Noh's notebook detailing preparations for a martial law, threats from armed helicopters against the Northern Limit Line (NLL), and the complicity of local government entities in potential insurrection activities. These efforts come after previous investigations terminated without significant findings, so the effectiveness of the current special investigation team's approach is highly scrutinized, especially given skepticism towards the necessity of a second inquiry.

As the investigation progresses, priority will be given to cases considered vital to the insurrection allegations, including those involving controversial actions by former senior officials. There are hopes that by addressing these unresolved issues, the team may either validate or dispel suspicions surrounding previous governmental actions, particularly concerning the relocation of the official residence and alleged attempts to cover up involvement by Kim in corruption-related matters. The outcomes of these investigations will likely have significant implications for public trust in the legal processes and governance in South Korea.
