[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Democratic Party lawmaker Ko Min-jung expressed suspicion about the fact that Kim Geon-hee, wife of the People Power Party presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, does not appear in the media, while stating that the privacy of presidential candidates and their families should be protected.

On the 18th, lawmakers Ko Min-jung and Heo Eun-ah appeared on MBC's 'Pyo Chang-won's News High Kick' and discussed the recent incident where reporters from an internet media outlet were warned by the police for stalking while covering the movements of Kim Hye-kyung, wife of Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, in front of the candidate's residence.

First, lawmaker Heo said, "Not only Kim Hye-kyung but also Kim Geon-hee are being excessively covered by the media. Because of this issue, it is a bit ambiguous to say that only one side is suffering," adding, "The wives of both candidates are facing similar difficulties."

In response, lawmaker Ko said, "That's right. Whether it's the candidate or the candidate's spouse, I hope their private lives are protected," and added, "Nevertheless, the media are acting like paparazzi, so I am curious why Kim Geon-hee has never appeared even once."

She continued, "Currently, there are clear allegations and suspicions surrounding Kim, such as the Deutsche Motors stock manipulation issue and false academic credentials, and investigations have begun. No matter if she is the spouse of a presidential candidate, I believe thorough investigation and inquiry are necessary."

Then lawmaker Heo said, "Candidate Yoon also stated that he is confident regarding his wife's allegations. Therefore, various unconfirmed rumors about Kim Geon-hee are circulating, and I think Yoon's side needed time to clarify the facts."

She added, "Kim Geon-hee has announced that she will take on a certain role in the presidential campaign. Since there are talks that she will soon start activities, I think she will make a statement."
