According to the Financial News, Yoon Seok-yeol’s wife, Kim Geon-hee, apologized to the public through her lawyer, attorney Choi Ji-woo, regarding the luxury bag scandal. The presidential office explained that Kim relayed her feelings revealed during the prosecution’s investigation. The presidential office spokesperson met with reporters at the Yongsan office on the 26th and stated that the lawyer relayed Kim’s apology expressed during the private investigation process by the prosecution.
Criticism is pouring in from the opposition. They point out that Kim did not personally apologize to the public. Moreover, there is backlash for her absence at the parliamentary hearing for Yoon’s impeachment proceedings without providing a reason for not attending. Members of the opposition party plan to conduct a protest visit to the presidential office in the afternoon to express their dissatisfaction. The presidential office maintained its stance against the impeachment hearing, stating that they do not compromise on unconstitutional or illegal hearings. They previously refused to attend the impeachment hearing on the 19th for the same reason.
