On the 18th, it was reported that the special counsel investigating the allegations that Kim Keon-hee received expensive gifts from the Unification Church and was involved in various requests is planning to summon Yoon Young-ho, the former head of the Unification Church's headquarters and the second-in-command of the Unification Church.
On that day, a special counsel official said, "We have decided to call Mr. Yoon for an investigation at 10 a.m. on the 20th."
That morning, the special counsel also conducted searches of Mr. Yoon's residence in Seoul, the Unification Church headquarters, and the Unification Church's global headquarters in Gapyeong-gun, Gyeonggi Province.
Mr. Yoon is suspected of having handed over Chanel bags and expensive necklaces to Kim Keon-hee between April and August 2022 to request urgent matters, including the development of the Cambodia Mekong River site through official development assistance (ODA), the acquisition of YTN, and an invitation to the presidential inauguration ceremony, through a shaman named Jeon.
