[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] It is reported that Kim Geon-hee, the spouse of President Yoon Seok-yeol, will pay a courtesy visit to Kwon Yang-sook, the spouse of the late former President Roh Moo-hyun. This will be Kim's first visit to Bongha Village.


According to political circles on the 12th, Kim is scheduled to visit Bongha Village in Gimhae, Gyeongnam, on the 13th to meet with Kwon.


Regarding this, the Presidential Office stated, "Since it is a private schedule, we cannot confirm," but it is reported that both sides have decided on a specific visit schedule.


As President Yoon has expressed his respect for former President Roh several times, it is expected that Kim will personally deliver President Yoon's message. During his presidential campaign in February, President Yoon visited Gangjeong Village in Jeju and showed an emotional reaction while mentioning former President Roh.


Earlier, during his presidential campaign last November, President Yoon considered accompanying Kim on a visit to Bongha Village but postponed it due to various circumstances.



On the 23rd of last month, marking the 13th anniversary of former President Roh's passing, President Yoon also sent a letter to Kwon through Chief Secretary Kim Dae-gi.
