Supreme Court Extends Kim Keon-hee Detention by Two Months
The Supreme Court on Tuesday issued a new arrest warrant for jailed former first lady Kim Keon-hee, extending her detention by two more months beyond October, citing risks of flight and evidence destruction (KBS World, Korea Times). At the hearing, Kim spoke for about 15 minutes arguing for her release (KBS World). The ruling Democratic Party separately decided to seek a parliamentary investigation into Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, with some calling for impeachment, which the opposition People Power Party denounced (Korea Times, Yonhap, KBS World).
