[Asia Economy Reporter Gong Byung-sun] Ahn Hae-wook, former chairman of the Korea Elementary School Taekwondo Association, who raised the so-called 'Julie suspicion' that Kim Geon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, worked at a nightlife bar in the past, has been handed over to the prosecution.


On the 2nd, the Seongbuk Police Station in Seoul announced that Ahn was sent to the prosecution on the 30th of last month on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.


In January, Ahn appeared on TBS Radio's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' and raised suspicions that Kim had worked under the stage name 'Julie' at a nightlife bar in the past.


In response, in February, the People Power Party's Legal Support Group filed complaints with the prosecution against Ahn, Kim Eo-jun who was conducting the broadcast, and two former employees of the Ramada Renaissance Hotel. The police judged that Kim and the two former employees did not make definitive statements related to the suspicion and decided not to indict them.



Meanwhile, the Seocho Police Station in Seoul is also investigating Ahn on similar charges. It is known that Ahn also appeared on Yeollin Gonggam TV at the time and raised the same suspicion. The police conducted raids on the offices of Citizen Media The Tam Sa (formerly Yeollin Gonggam TV), reporter Kang, and director Choi's residence on the 25th of last month and the 1st of this month.
