1. Former first lady Kim Keon Hee arrives at Seoul Central District Court for a hearing on her potential arrest
STORYLINE:
Kim Keon Hee, former South Korean first lady and wife of ousted President Yoon Suk Yeol, arrived at Seoul Central District Court, for a court hearing on her potential arrest.
Upon her arrival, she entered the court room without answering journalists’ questions.
South Korean investigators requested a warrant to arrest Kim last Thursday, a day after they questioned Kim for about seven hours on various allegations, including claims that Yoon and Kim exerted undue influence over the conservative party’s candidate nominations for a parliamentary by-election in 2022.
The team said they listed multiple charges in the warrant request for Kim, including violations of financial market and political funding laws and acceptance of bribes.
