The Government Public Officials Ethics Committee disclosed former President Yoon's reported assets on the 25th. Compared to the 7,639,999,000 won reported when he took office in May 2022, this represents an increase of approximately 350,000,000 won over the course of his 2-year and 11-month term.
Former President Yoon reported deposits of 663,690,000 won as his assets. Of this amount, 6,260,000 won is from insurance, and the remainder is held across three commercial banks. This represents an increase of about 140,000,000 won compared to the 525,595,000 won reported at the time of his inauguration.
His wife, Kim Keon-hee, reported total deposits of 5,078,550,000 won, which is an increase of approximately 78,000,000 won compared to when former President Yoon took office.
Mrs. Kim also owns real estate valued at a total of 2,248,900,000 won.

Regarding the real estate in Gang Sang-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, allegations of favoritism arose as the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport reviewed plans to change the end line of the Yangseo-myeon expressway project to Gang Sang-myeon. Kim Keon-hee is under investigation.
The real estate owned by Mrs. Kim and former President Yoon has increased in assessed value during former President Yoon's term, slightly exceeding the 2,114,100,000 won reported at the time of his inauguration. Former President Yoon's list of owned real estate has not changed, and he reported that there are no separate stocks owned by Mrs. Kim.
Former President Yoon also refused to disclose his mother's assets, citing the reason that they maintain independent livelihoods.
