I still can’t believe how the ROK media continues to obscure her face when everyone related to the Park Geun-hye impeachment had their face splashed all over the news media:

State prosecutors filed additional charges against the arrested wife of former Justice Minister Cho Kuk on Monday as they apparently prepare to summon Cho for questioning in connection with alleged irregularities by his family.
Chung Kyung-sim, a professor, was indicted on 14 counts related to her daughter’s college admission and her dubious investment in a private equity fund (PEF).
Her detention, originally set to expire at midnight, will be extended with the indictment.
Chung was arrested last month on 11 charges relating to alleged irregularities surrounding academic favors and a financial investment.
The prosecution added three charges, including fraud and violation of the real-name financial transaction law.
She is already standing trial on alleged forgery of a presidential citation for her daughter.
