[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] Kim Geon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, attended a memorial concert for the late Major Shim Jeong-min on the 18th. Recently, Kim's activities have been expanding, as she has successively visited the wives of former presidents and had lunch with the wives of People Power Party lawmakers serving four or more terms.

According to the presidential office on the 19th, Kim attended the memorial concert for Major Shim held the previous evening in Pyeongchang-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul. Without President Yoon, Kim carried out a private solo schedule and is reported to have written in the memorial book, "Your noble sacrifice has become the spirit that protects the Republic of Korea."

Major Shim died in the line of duty on January 11 due to a crash caused by an engine malfunction in the KF-5E fighter jet. To prevent crashing into residential areas, he did not release the control stick until the end and crashed into a hillside southwest of the Suwon base, where he lost his life.
