Kim Keon Hee, wife of ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol, began her first day in jail Wednesday after her arrest on bribery, fraud, and influence-peddling charges. The high-profile case deepens the political fallout for the once-powerful couple
South Korea’s former first lady, Kim Keon Hee, entered the Seoul Nambu Detention Center on Wednesday, beginning her first day in prison as prosecutors intensify a major corruption investigation. The arrest follows a court’s approval of a warrant late Tuesday, citing concerns she might destroy evidence.
Kim faces allegations of bribery, stock fraud, and influence peddling. Her lawyers strongly deny the charges, dismissing reports about alleged gifts as unfounded. Last week, she publicly apologised for causing public concern, describing herself as « a nobody » during questioning.
