Court Extends Kim Keon-hee Detention to Year-End
The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a new arrest warrant for jailed former first lady Kim Keon-hee, extending her detention for two more months beyond October, citing the risks of flight and destroying evidence. Yonhap reports the top court issued the additional warrant after a hearing that day, with KBS World noting she spoke for about 15 minutes arguing for release. The Korea Times confirms the extension keeps her in custody through the year-end, following the expiration of her current detention period this month.
