Police Summon Ahn Haeuk for Investigation Over Allegations Against Kim Gunhee Julie

Anssi "Met multiple times over 2 years... Number of meetings in double digits"
Lawyer says lie detector test process does not match

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] It has been confirmed that the police are investigating Ahn Haeuk, former president of the Korea Elementary School Taekwondo Association, who raised the 'Julie allegation' that First Lady Kim Geonhee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, worked at entertainment establishments in the past.

On the 27th, the Seoul Seocho Police Station stated that they have summoned former Association President Ahn as a suspect for investigation. A police official said, "He is currently present and under investigation."

Earlier that morning, before appearing, Mr. Ahn told reporters, "I met Mrs. Kim, who used the stage name Julie, multiple times over two years," adding, "The number of meetings was in double digits."

He also said, "She would not have forgotten all these facts, but instead, I have been falsely accused and reported for lying."

Jeong Cheolseung, the lawyer representing Mr. Ahn, said, "The police asked if they would conduct a lie detector test without even once investigating the suspect," adding, "This does not conform to the usual investigative process."

Meanwhile, in January, Mr. Ahn appeared on TBS's Kim Eo-jun's News Factory and raised allegations that Mrs. Kim had worked at an entertainment bar in the past, referring to her as 'Julie.' He was subsequently reported on charges including violation of the Public Official Election Act and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act. In February, the People Power Party's Legal Support Group filed complaints against Mr. Ahn, who raised the 'Julie allegation,' and a former employee of the Ramada Renaissance Hotel.
