Korean First Lady Kim Keon Hee Admits Receiving Chanel Bags from Shaman

  • Special counsel Min Joong-ki's team disclosed evidence that Jeon Sung-bae requested appointments for eight individuals to the presidential office shortly after the 2022 election and delivered goods between April and July 2022.
  • Her lawyers said Kim Keon Hee initially declined then accepted the two Chanel handbags priced at 8 million won and 12 million won, which were returned and unused.
  • Min's team indicted Kim Keon Hee in August with physical detention on Capital Market Act violations, while prosecutors dropped an October last year charge citing limits on punishing spouses.
