Seoul, April 28 /Xinhua/ — Kim Keon-hee, wife of former President of the Republic of Korea (ROK) Yoon Suk-yeol, was sentenced in an appellate court to four years of imprisonment for corruption. This is evidenced by footage of a live broadcast shown on Tuesday.
The Supreme Court of Seoul overturned the decision of the lower court, increasing Kim Kon Hee’s prison sentence from 20 months to four years and imposing a fine of 50 million won (about 33,910 US dollars).
The court confirmed that she participated in manipulating stock prices, finding her guilty of obtaining valuables from the ‘Church of the Union.’
After the decision of the court of the second instance was made, Kim Kon Hi’s lawyers announced that they will appeal it to the Supreme Court.
They were charged in August 2025. Kim Kon Hee became the first wife of a president to appear before the court while in detention.
