Former South Korean first lady Kim Keon Hee faces an arrest warrant on corruption charges while her husband, ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol, remains embroiled in legal battles. As investigations into their conduct intensify, Yoon's defiance against authorities continues to fuel the political chaos in South Korea.
South Korean legal authorities intensified their probe into former first lady Kim Keon Hee with a warrant request for her arrest on corruption allegations. This move raises the stakes for her husband, ex-President Yoon Suk Yeol, who is already mired in legal controversy.
Kim, the 52-year-old art curator, attended questioning on multiple charges, including stock fraud and bribery. Meanwhile, Yoon, battling his own charges, vehemently opposed efforts to remove him from his detention cell for questioning.
Legal experts note the rare intensity of the ongoing investigation, placing a spotlight on alleged illegal activities at the highest levels of power, marking yet another chapter in South Korea's volatile political landscape.
