Kim Gun-hee, who appeared in her first public activity, was in cautious mode

◀ anchor ▶

Simultaneously with the inauguration of President Yoon Seok-yeol, First Lady Kim Kun-hee also started official activities.

It was the end of December last year, the first public apology after the press conference.

I didn’t see many people walking side by side with President Yoon, but he seemed to be paying attention to each and every action.

Correspondent Kim Min-chan reported.

First Lady Kim Kun-hee, in a black suit, and President Yoon Seok-yeol came out in front of her house.

Rather than walking side by side with the president, I kept my distance from behind a few steps.

When President Yoon received the bouquet and took a picture, he was awkwardly handed it while looking at it from behind.

“To this lady…”

After visiting the memorial with President Yoon for the first time, Mrs. Kim, who arrived at the inauguration ceremony wearing a white suit, consciously kept her distance when entering, and even clapping her hands without a smile in the middle of the inauguration ceremony.

When I met former President Park Geun-hye and First Lady Kim Jung-sook, they bowed deeply and greeted each other, but only had a light conversation.

When President Yoon said goodbye to former President Moon Jae-in and his wife, it was the scene where he played an active role in seeing off former President Park.

“The First Lady will march with former President Park Geun-hye after farewell.”

In addition, there was a video of President Park pulling the collar of President Yun from behind when the car of former President Park started or meeting the residents of Yongsan, but Kim’s upbringing was hardly disclosed.

“Thank you. (Oh my God, you have a lot of trouble) Please take care of me.”

As if considering the various suspicions surrounding him, he seems to be trying to minimize his role by being as careful as possible.

While Kim’s subsequent public activities are not yet known, it is known that Kobana Contents, an exhibition planning company headed by Mrs. Kim, is considering closure or closure.

At a press conference last year to apologize to the public, First Lady Kim said that if her husband becomes president, “I will only faithfully play the role of wife.”
