The Missing First Lady Finally Reappears
Since the declaration of martial law on December 3 last year, one person’s whereabouts had remained a mystery.
That person is none other than Kim Keon-hee, wife of former President Yoon Suk-yeol and former First Lady of South Korea.
She had not appeared in public at all since that day—no media sightings, no official presence.
But on the afternoon of April 11, 2025, she finally surfaced, captured on camera inside a vehicle headed to her residence in Seocho.
Her face was serious, her expression tense. No smiles—only the heavy atmosphere of someone leaving power behind.
Yoon’s Departure, Kim’s First Sighting, and the Controversial Audio
On this day, former President Yoon Suk-yeol left the presidential residence in Hannam-dong, Seoul.
After staying there for 2 years and 5 months, he walked out of the residence and interacted with supporters for about five minutes before getting into a black car.
At 5:09 PM, when the car window rolled down, the camera finally caught a glimpse of Kim Keon-hee sitting beside him.
She bowed slightly to supporters but showed no trace of her usual confident demeanor.
Her face looked stiff, and she seemed uncomfortable in the public eye.
This appearance also reignited past controversies.
Just this past February, a recording released by journalist Joo Jin-woo caused a major stir.
In that call, Kim said:
“I risked my life to shut down Chosun Ilbo.”
She also called major conservative newspapers—Chosun, JoongAng, and Dong-A—“the ones ruining our country” and claimed they manipulated corporate deals behind the scenes.
This wasn’t just gossip. It was the former First Lady’s own voice, filled with emotion.
Many questioned whether such words were a slip of the tongue or part of a larger political message.
Additionally, it was revealed that on December 2, just before Yoon's impeachment, she exchanged text messages with the head of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), Cho Tae-yong.
A Disgraced Exit or a Political Reset?
Kim Keon-hee's return isn’t just about moving homes.
It’s the first public appearance of the former First Lady since the collapse of her husband’s presidency.
It sparks many questions:
- Why was she completely silent for months?
- Were her harsh words about the media accidental or strategic?
- Will she and Yoon attempt a comeback, or is this truly the end of their political chapter?
As power shifts hands, the public's attention remains on them.
This might not be their exit—but the beginning of something else.
