[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] It has been confirmed that Kim Geon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, submitted a written response to the police regarding various allegations including 'false career credentials.' This comes about two months after the police sent her a written investigation questionnaire in May.

According to a compilation of reports on the 13th, the Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency reportedly received the written response from Kim Geon-hee's side earlier this month.

Earlier, in May, the police coordinated with Kim Geon-hee's side and sent a written investigation questionnaire instead of summoning her for an in-person investigation regarding various allegations.

Before and after the last presidential election, civic groups filed complaints against Kim Geon-hee over allegations of false career credentials and accusations of violating the Public Official Election Act by giving money to an internet media reporter under the pretext of lecture fees.

On December 23 of last year, the National Movement Headquarters for Private School Reform and Eradication of Corruption and the Livelihood Economy Research Institute filed a complaint against Kim Geon-hee on charges including fraud, stating that she deceived higher education institutions and students with over 20 false and fabricated career credentials.

In response, Kim Geon-hee held a press conference on the 26th of the same month and officially apologized for the allegations, saying, "I exaggerated my career to look good and also made some mistakes in writing."
