Because of a brand-name bag, Yoon Xiyue and his henchmen broke up.
The reason for the incident is this, in September 2022, when Yoon Suk-yeol had not yet become the president of South Korea, his wife Kim Jian-hee received a Dior bag from pastor Choi Jae-young, worth 16,000 yuan.

I thought it was just a matter of receiving a small gift, but I didn't expect the gift-giving process to be filmed by the built-in camera of Choi Jae-young's watch, and it was made public in November last year, which caused heated discussions in South Korea for a while.
However, because the amount of bribes accepted was not high, and the ruling People's Power Party deliberately led the matter in the direction of "Kim Jianxi was secretly photographed", the controversy quickly subsided.
Now it has suddenly been turned over because some people in the National Power Party expressed dissatisfaction with Kim Jianxi, and compared him to Marie Antoinette, the French queen who was guillotined during the Great Revolution in the 18th century because of her arrogance and lasciviousness, and called on Kim Jianxi to apologize to the people for accepting brand-name bags, so as not to drag down the image of the ruling party.
Among them, Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the Emergency Countermeasures Committee of the People's Power Party, who has expressed similar views, has become a leading bird, and this position is equivalent to the emergency leader of the ruling party.

According to Han Dong-hoon himself, he was asked to resign by Lee Kwan-sub, the mayor of South Korea's presidential office, but he told reporters that he did not plan to resign from the party for the time being, and planned to continue to serve as the interim leader of the People's Power Party after the parliamentary elections in April.
Han Dong-hoon was appointed emergency leader of the People's Power Party at the end of last year, and has been in office for less than a month. According to the party constitution, Han Dongxun's term of office is six months, which can be extended once depending on the results of the committee's vote, depending on the results of the National Assembly election.
It is worth mentioning that Han Dongxun is one of Yoon Suk-yeol's most valued henchmen. The two were both born prosecutors, and they were demoted together during the Moon Jae-in administration, and they were reused after Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, and they can be regarded as comrades-in-arms who share weal and woe. Now Yoon Suk-yeol wants to attack Han Dongxun in order to save his wife's face, which is inevitably chilling.
This is not the first time that Yoon Suk-yeol has exonerated Kim Keon-hee, to put it mildly, the first lady has fewer scandals and cases than former US President Trump. In addition to the "frozen beauty" that resembles a Barbie doll, whether it is in Korea or abroad, most of the evaluations of Kim Jianxi are negative.
Beauty is beautiful, that is, the sense of science and technology is a little heavier
As early as last year's presidential election, the controversy about Kim Jianxi was rampant, not to mention plagiarism in papers, resume fraud, and serving as a "public relations lady" in a hotel, and the key is that she is also suspected of manipulating stocks and evading taxes.
During the Moon administration, Kim launched an investigation into allegedly manipulating the stock prices of BMW dealers in South Korea, but because of Yoon's status and influence in South Korean judicial circles, she was not prosecuted. After Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, the South Korean government and the opposition fought fiercely, and Kim Jianxi's related case was also put back on the agenda.
Some time ago, the Congress, dominated by the Democratic Party of Korea, the largest opposition party, submitted two special investigation bills to Yoon Suk-yeol, one of which was that Kim Keon-hee was suspected of manipulating stocks.
It's a pity that as president, he is not only the husband of the first lady, but also responsible for thousands of people. Yin Xiyue's move is inevitably suspected of favoritism, coupled with the protection of Kim Jianxi's other scandals, the beloved wife character of "rushing to the crown and being angry for the red face" still failed to overshadow the mediocrity of the "Beacon Opera Princes" after all.
Yin Xiyue: Of course, his wife has to be spoiled by himself
It would have been okay in normal times, but now at the critical moment when the parliamentary election is approaching, the National Power Party has a small number of seats in the National Assembly, and now there is infighting within the party because of the Kim Keon-hee matter, which is extremely unfavorable to the election.
Yoon Suk-yeol's series of domestic and foreign policies since taking office have also been criticized, and his approval rating has dropped again and again, hovering in "dangerous waters" of around 30% for a long time.
At the same time, Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), who has been plagued by scandals, has won public sympathy through his hunger strike and assassination, and it cannot be ruled out that this sympathy may be converted into votes for the Democratic Party of Korea to a certain extent.
As for the approval rating of future leaders, according to the latest polls, Lee Jae-myung and Han Dong-hoon ranked first and second with 19% and 16% respectively, and Han Dong-hoon was also seen as Yoon Suk-yeol's successor.
Lee Jae-myung: I fought hard to earn back some popularity
Now that Yoon Suk-yeol's camp is infighting, and Lee Jun-seok, the former leader of the People's Power Party, has set up his own door, Yoon Suk-yeol can be said to be suffering from the enemy on his back. If he insists on offending his party colleagues for Kim Jianxi, it is likely that the gains will outweigh the losses.
But Yoon Suk-yeol may not be able to listen to this, judging from his various actions after coming to power, he obviously knows how to be a good husband better than how to be a good leader.
