[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae urged the prosecution to swiftly investigate Kim Gun-hee, spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, stating on the 10th, "'Cho Kuk's River' has no substance, but 'Julie’s River' does."

In a post on her Facebook on the same day, former Minister Choo said, "'Cho Kuk's River' has been scraped to the bottom and dug out completely, leaving only one certificate, but 'Julie’s River' seems endless and cannot be covered by anything."

She emphasized, "The prosecution should not conduct 'split non-prosecution' or 'written investigations' regarding Kim Gun-hee, but should investigate straightforwardly."

Additionally, she added, "I also demand a swift investigation into the case in which I was accused to reveal the truth."

Earlier, the People Power Party recently filed a complaint with the prosecution against the YouTube channel 'Yeollin Gonggam TV' and former Minister Choo for allegedly spreading false information about Yoon’s wife, Kim.

'Yeollin Gonggam TV' reported on the 8th, citing an interview with Ahn Hae-wook, former president of the Korea Elementary School Taekwondo Association, claiming that Kim used the stage name 'Julie' while working at a nightlife establishment in the past. Ahn testified that he visited the Ramada Renaissance Hotel night club in May 1997 and met Kim, who used the stage name 'Julie,' in the 6th-floor banquet hall. Subsequently, former Minister Choo shared a link to an article containing this information on her Facebook.

Meanwhile, candidate Yoon denied the allegations regarding Kim’s work at a nightlife venue. On the afternoon of the 9th, after attending the 21st anniversary ceremony and academic conference of the Kim Dae-jung Nobel Peace Prize at the Kim Dae-jung Library Convention Hall in Mapo-gu, Seoul, he told reporters, "It’s not even worth responding to," and asked, "Are you interested in that (the nightlife work allegation)? Do you think that story sounds true?"
