"There Are First Ladies Who Also Traveled by Private Jet"

In Yohan, former Innovation Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, defended First Lady Kim Keon-hee, wife of President Yoon Seok-yeol, regarding the 'luxury bag receipt suspicion,' saying, "It is being highlighted over something too trivial."


On the 25th, In appeared on Channel A's 'Political Signal' and said, "Even our respected former President Kim Dae-jung's wife had very unpleasant incidents, and there were people who traveled by private jet," expressing this view. He continued, "They were filmed with hidden cameras, and not only hidden cameras but also when acquaintances bring gifts, it is very difficult to refuse," adding, "It is easy to refuse someone you are not close to, but if it is someone who is an acquaintance of your father? A very familiar face? Then you have no choice but to accept politely," defending her.

Regarding the controversy over excessive security related to the forced removal of Kang Seong-hee, a Progressive Party lawmaker, In also stated that the Presidential Security Service's response was appropriate. He said, "Who shouts in front of the president while security is in place? Catching and stopping that is the job of security," and criticized, "They are making it seem like a big incident."



Regarding Kim Kyung-yul, a People Power Party emergency committee member, comparing Mrs. Kim to 'Marie Antoinette,' he said, "It is a democratic country, noisy but healthy democracy, and Korea is a great country. But why compare the president's wife to a story from 200 years ago?" He added, "That was very inappropriate, and he apologized himself. So let's move on." Additionally, In revealed that he recently met with Han Dong-hoon, the People Power Party emergency committee chairman. He said, "We talked about various things. I expressed my gratitude. He received the baton well and is doing very well."
