South Korea’s First Lady Caught Up in “Wardrobe-Gate” Scandal
It must be a slow news day if the first lady’s wardrobe is the top story:
First lady Kim Jung-sook has been hit with accusations of abusing public funds for clothing and accessories, and for instances of acting as a tourist rather than participating in the customary official events of Korean first ladies during state visits.

The sudden emergence of a “wardrobe scandal” has prompted people to scramble online to gather photos of Kim at public events. With the photos showing her in an array of outfits, some raised questions about whether she purchased the clothes using her personal funds.
The allegation was first stoked by a March 25 Facebook post made by a lawyer named Shin Pyeong. The lawyer said he had supported President Moon Jae-in’s candidacy for the 2017 presidential election, but then turned his back on President Moon later and joined President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol’s election camp earlier this year.
In the post, Shin raised the allegation that Kim’s wardrobe has a jaw-dropping monetary value, and urged her to return her clothes when Moon’s tenure ends in early May.
Later on the day of the post, a civic group filed a complaint against Kim with the National Police Agency accusing her of embezzlement from the national coffers.

Expect more of Commie Moon’s illegal activities to be exposed. Maybe he will go hiking in the mountains too…
Just the tip of the Commie moon iceberg. His daughter’s expensive Bangkok stay needs to be investigated too.
