On Wednesday, authorities arrested Yoon on charges of insurrection related to a failed martial law attempt, sparking a political storm in South Korea. The Rebuilding Korea Party (RKP) has raised questions about the true power dynamics at play, casting doubt on who held the reins of leadership. They have pointed fingers at Yoon's wife, Kim Keon-hee, alleging her significant influence over state affairs and involvement in the insurrection.
The RKP expressed skepticism about Yoon's presidency, highlighting Kim's alleged control over his schedules, policy decisions, and personnel appointments. Critics have dubbed her "VIP No. 1," a moniker reflecting her perceived authority in governmental matters. The party accused Kim of interfering with state functions, including the controversial selection of National Assembly candidates.

When investigators arrived at Yoon's residence with an arrest warrant, Yoon mentioned Kim's reduced dining habits, hinting at the stress surrounding the unfolding events. The arrest has intensified scrutiny on Kim, with allegations of her influence-peddling and central role in various scandals surfacing. The RKP claims that her involvement in critical policy decisions cannot be dismissed.
Kim Keon-hee, at 52 years old, finds herself at the center of a political maelstrom. A visit by lawmaker Kwon Young-jin to Yoon's residence provided a glimpse into the personal impact of these accusations. Kwon reported that Kim did not appear well, further fueling public interest and concern over her role in the ongoing political saga.
