Kim Keon-hee attended the special investigation team on the 6th, saying, "I apologize to the people for causing concern as someone who is nothing like me."
On this day at around 10:11 a.m., Kim appeared in front of the KT Building in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, where the special investigation team's office is located. She got out of a black Carnival car, had her hair tied up, and was dressed in a black skirt suit. After getting out of the car, Kim walked into the building with her head down, never looking ahead. She was holding a bag in one hand.
Kim stood at the photo line set up on the second floor and said, expressing her apologies for causing concern to the public, "I will go through the investigation well." When asked by reporters, "Do you have anything to say to the public?" she replied, "I'm sorry."
When reporters asked, "Why did you receive designer necklaces and luxury bags?" "Is there a reason you wore a fake necklace during your overseas trip?" "Did you know about Deutsche Bank stock manipulation in advance?" and "Why did you meet and talk with Mr. Myung-tae-kyun?" she did not answer and entered the investigation room.
On this day, Kim appeared before the special investigation team as a suspect in alleged violations of the Capital Market Act, public election law regarding false statements, and the Public Service Ethics Act. This marks 35 days since the special investigation team began its investigation on July 2. This is the first time the spouse of a former president has publicly appeared before an investigative body. Kim also became the first first lady to stand at the photo line.
