The 22nd National Assembly’s first audit began on the 7th, with the focus on Kim Gun-hee, the First Lady. Opposition parties have honed in on Kim Gun-hee, emphasizing a targeted audit from the outset. The examination delved into issues like the relocation of the presidential residence, irregularities in the construction of the official residence, luxury handbags, interference in election nominations, and allegations of illegal construction and cultural events at the Blue House.
The audit kicked off with scrutiny over the alleged favoritism in the renovation of the presidential residence, focusing on the company “21Gram” which had close ties to Kim Gun-hee. The government faced questioning on the lack of inspection during the construction process and responded defensively. These revelations have revived memories of the 2016 “Choi Soon-sil Gate,” leading the Democratic Party to vow to thoroughly investigate the allegations surrounding Kim Gun-hee, aiming for a repeat of the historic impeachment of former President Park Geun-hye.
