[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The police have begun an investigation into an internet user who posted a message claiming that First Lady Kim Geon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, purchased luxury goods worth tens of millions of won.

On the 14th, the Seocho Police Station in Seoul announced that it is investigating the case after Kim's fan cafe, Geonsarang, filed a complaint against the poster for defamation due to spreading false information. Earlier, on the 11th, an online bulletin board contained a post stating that "the First Lady shopped for 30 million won worth of luxury goods at a store in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul."

In response, the Presidential Office expressed strong regret, stating that the claim is clearly false.
