Police Conduct Search and Seizure at Home of YouTube Media CEO Raising 'Julie Suspicion'

[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] The police are conducting a search and seizure at the residences of two representatives of the YouTube media outlet Simin Eonron Thetam-sa (formerly Yeollin Gonggam TV), which reported on allegations involving Julie and cohabitation rumors related to First Lady Kim Geon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol.

On the 1st, the Seocho Police Station in Seoul announced that from around 9 a.m. that day, investigators were sent to the homes of representatives Kang Jin-gu and Choi Young-min to secure related materials.

The People Power Party's Legal Support Group and Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign legal team had filed multiple complaints during the last presidential election period against Yeollin Gonggam TV for violations of the Public Official Election Act and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act, related to reports on First Lady Kim, including the 'Julie allegations.'

At that time, Yeollin Gonggam TV raised related suspicions by interviewing witnesses who claimed to have seen First Lady Kim working at a past entertainment bar and investigating the mother of a certain prosecutor who was rumored to cohabit with her.

Regarding this, Simin Eonron Thetam-sa posted on social media (SNS), "This morning, the police raided the residences of the two representatives," and protested, "Has there ever been a case where the police conducted a search and seizure at the residence of a media company CEO over media reports?"
