, ‘Yoon Geon-yeong, a member of the Democratic Party who served as the head of the State Affairs Planning Office at the Blue House during the Moon Jae-in administration, revealed that First Lady Kim Jung-sook has decided to take legal action against those related to the allegations of excessive food expenses during her visit to India on a government plane.’,
,
, ‘At a press conference held at the National Assembly Communication Hall on the 4th, Yoon stated, “The attack by the People Power Party against Kim Jung-sook’s visit to India has gone too far. It is a shameful behavior that will leave a stain on South Korea’s diplomacy,” and emphasized that “First Lady Kim Jung-sook’s visit to India was an official diplomatic activity that was arranged at the request of the Indian government.”‘,
,
, ‘Yoon said, “It is extremely regrettable how they are mocking and using the food expenses on the government plane during such a diplomatic activity. I formally request the disclosure of the detailed breakdown and expenditure details of the in-flight meal costs. There is no reason not to disclose this data while revealing the total amount.” He further added, “I also request President Yoon Suk-yeol’s in-flight meal expenses during his overseas trips to be disclosed immediately. It is unacceptable for the public to accept only the total amount of the in-flight meal expenses of former presidential spouses without disclosing their own.”‘,
,
, ‘Yoon emphasized, “The delegation, including First Lady Kim Jung-sook, had meals with the usual in-flight meals provided on government planes. However, the People Power Party is making groundless and despicable attacks, as if First Lady Kim Jung-sook had luxurious meals. This is baseless and a clear character assassination.”‘,
,
, ‘Yoon stated, “In this regard, it is revealed that First Lady Kim Jung-sook has decided to take legal action against those related to the matter. The complaint will be submitted soon, and I request the investigative agencies to conduct a thorough investigation according to law and principles.”‘,
,
, ‘However, the specific target of the complaint was not disclosed. It was only stated that “A decision will be made after legal review.”‘,
