Ex-First Lady Expected to Receive Criminal Summons
With her husband impeached the lawfare against Kim Keon-hee is expected to accelerate:
Throughout Yoon’s nearly three-year presidency, a series of political scandals involving his wife — including allegations of election interference and corruption — faced intense public scrutiny. However, the investigation moved slowly while she was first lady.
The Supreme Prosecutors’ Office has been investigating Kim’s alleged involvement in election interference tied to self-proclaimed political broker Myung Tae-kyun, who was indicted in December for violating the Public Official Election Act.
Prosecutors questioned Myung on Thursday and Friday, a move some observers interpreted as a sign that a formal summons for Kim could be imminent.
Kim is accused of interfering in candidate nominations during the 2022 parliamentary by-elections.
Yoon and Kim are suspected of receiving opinion polling services from a polling agency effectively run by Myung during the 2022 presidential campaign. In return, they allegedly helped Kim Young-sun, a former lawmaker from the conservative People Power Party, secure the party’s nomination for a parliamentary by-election in Changwon. The former lawmaker is said to have paid Myung for his services.

Nothing will stick.
Though plastic can hold a charge.
If South Korea cares about this—I mean really cares, not just political revenge—the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office should minutely examine the financial records and electronic communications of all elected politicians across the entire government and tip all the “crooked” ones into the Namgang, handcuffed.
But they only look for corruption in the opposing party. Because they’re all playing silly influence games.
Way to look like a Banana Republic, South Korea!
South Korea is not like the United States! Don’t insult South Korea.

Everything written here about South Korea and what could have happened is chillingly close to what’s going on in America right now, with the far-right movements in both countries. It describes the close relationship of Yoon’s party, with the American Right MAGA movement.
“chillingly close to what’s going on in America right now, with the far-right movements in both countries”
Not just close… but CHILLINGLY close!
When people go on about the “far right” it becomes easy to discount them. They are just talking smack.
Conservatives who want to improve working systems rather than tearing them down to build new systems that are dysfunction and in need of improvement from the start are not “far right”. Neither are people who want a small and effective government without corruption, working for the interests of its citizens rather than those with nothing invested in the system, and perhaps even a hatred for it. It isn’t “far right” to value family, hard work, education, self-reliance, and keep your perversions and abnormality to yourself instead of finding ways to push it on other people’s children.
Far right might come about due to a growing feeling in Europe that their culture is being forcibly replaced with something far inferior. Far right might show up in Britian when a woman who posts on the internet about her (brown) rapìst gets in more trouble than she does and memes get you arrested faster than membership in a grooming gang. And far right has always existed in the middle east as the Arabs and Jews find new ways to demonstrate racial and cultural superiority through violence.
But the only “far right” action you see in America is organized political violence…
…from the “left”.
Consider that.
CH, I would advise people to “let that sink in”; but those who know already know; and those who don’t (probably) couldn’t find their butt with both hands. While sitting on them.
