[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] Kim Hye-kyung, spouse of Lee Jae-myung, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, will appear at the police station on the 23rd to be investigated for the 'corporate card misuse suspicion' case.

On the day, Lee's side posted on Facebook, "Kim Hye-kyung will appear at the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency at 2 p.m. today for an investigation related to the so-called '78,000 won incident' and other corporate card matters."

Earlier, the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crime Investigation Unit of the Gyeonggi Nambu Police Agency sent a summons to Kim on the 9th, and after coordinating the schedule, Kim's side decided to appear at the police station on this day, two weeks later.

The police plan to verify the facts regarding the overall suspicions, including whether Kim paid for personal meals with the Gyeonggi Province corporate card through Bae Mo, a level 5 special employee in the General Affairs Division of the former Gyeonggi Provincial Government, or obtained illegal prescriptions under another person's name.
