[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The case in which the People Power Party was accused of falsely explaining allegations of false career claims against First Lady Kim Geon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, during the presidential election process has also been concluded with no charges.

On the 2nd, the Anti-Corruption and Public Crime Investigation Unit of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency announced that on the 25th of last month, they decided not to prosecute six individuals, including President Yoon and his wife, and Kim Eun-hye, then the public relations director of the People Power Party's election campaign committee, on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act due to 'insufficient evidence.'

The People's Livelihood Economy Research Institute filed a complaint with the police in February, alleging that they violated the Public Official Election Act by mentioning false facts while explaining the allegations of false career claims against First Lady Kim.

Kim is suspected of having falsified her resume or academic background when applying for lecturer or adjunct faculty positions at Hallym Sacred Heart University, Seoil University, Suwon Women's University, Anyang University, and Kookmin University between 2001 and 2014.

Regarding this, President Yoon claimed at a Kwanhun Club invitation debate in December last year, when he was the People Power Party's presidential candidate, "I don't know about some parts, but overall it is not a false career."

The police are also investigating the complaint related to Kim's false career allegations and are expected to reach a conclusion soon.

In response, Ahn Jin-geol, director of the People's Livelihood Economy Research Institute who filed the complaint, said, "Which citizen would accept a decision of no prosecution without even a single summons investigation?" and added, "We will immediately file an objection."
