South Korea’s presidential office said it had no information to provide on the scandal.
According to observers, by choosing to remain silent and encouraging his party chairman to resign over the weekend due to disagreements over the position of some members, President Yoon risks starting a fire that could damage his own party in the elections of 10 April.
“This is a political bomb. Kim Keon Hee’s risk will be even greater,” said local political observer Rhee Jong Hoon.
President Yoon won the 2022 election with a narrow victory, with his PPP remaining a minority in the South Korean parliament controlled by its rival, the South Korean Democratic Party.
Furthermore, observers said that when Kim Keon Hee, wife of the South Korean president, received the luxury bag as a gift, she may have violated anti-corruption laws. It was reported that the gift bag Kim Keon Hee received was priced at 3 million Won.
