Just when global public opinion focused on "Where has Princess Kate gone?", the South Korean media were surprised to find that their "first lady" Kim Jianxi had not appeared in public for three months, which was completely different from her previous high-profile style.
What happened to Kim Keon-hee?
Korean media pointed out that Kim Jianxi has not appeared in public since she returned from a visit to the Netherlands with Yoon Suk-yeol on December 15 last year. Kim Keon-hee, as the "first lady," still did not attend the ceremony commemorating the 105th anniversary of the "March 1st Movement" held in South Korea this year, and this is the first time since 1998 that the "first lady" in South Korea did not attend the ceremony.
The South Korean president's office did not respond to why Kim was absent from the event. This has aroused further attention from the outside world about Kim Jianxi's whereabouts. After all, according to Kim Jianxi's past habits, people can see Kim Jianxi in almost every public activity of Yoon Suk-yeol.
Many South Korean experts believe that a large part of the reason why Kim Jianxi has not had public activities for such a long time is that the presidential office deliberately did it, in order to keep her away from the spotlight of the people and reduce the accumulation of negative feelings of the South Korean people towards Yoon Suk-yeol and his wife.
With 20 days left in the 22nd National Assembly election, South Korea's major political parties will compete fiercely for 300 seats in the National Assembly. The election of members of the National Assembly will be crucial for the Yoon Suk-yeol administration, not only as a "mid-term review" but also as a decision on the leadership of the National Assembly for the next four years.
Therefore, in order to avoid the negative news brought by Kim Keon-hee, Yoon Suk-yeol's National Power Party, the presidential office had to keep Kim Keon-hee away from the public's attention for a while.
Despite this, the Yoon Suk-yeol government has been mired in "infighting" with the People's Power Party. The Yoon Suk-yeol government not only released Lee Jong-sub, a major person involved in the case, and gave him a new identity as a "diplomat" to "flee", but Han Dong-hoon (interim leader), chairman of the Emergency Countermeasures Committee of the People's Power Party, clearly opposed the actions of the Yoon Suk-yeol government and strongly demanded that Lee Jong-sub return to Japan to be summoned for investigation.
Previously, due to the incident of Kim Keon-hee accepting a brand-name bag, Han Dong-hoon had publicly made controversial remarks, making the contradiction between the People's Power Party and the Yoon Suk-yeol government public for the first time. This time, because of the Lee Jong-sub incident, the contradictions between the two sides escalated again.
In fact, in addition to the hot discussion of public opinion about accepting brand-name bags, Kim Jianxi was involved in controversy for falsifying her academic qualifications long before Yoon Suk-yeol took office, and in addition, she was also accused of participating in stock price manipulation, but Kim Jianxi denied this accusation.
The political troubles that Kim Keon-hee has brought to Yoon Suk-yeol, especially against the backdrop of a resurgence in South Korean politics, may deal a blow to the Yoon Suk-yeol government's "mid-term review". Therefore, considering this, the South Korean presidential office chose to "hide" Kim Jianxi, trying to make her troubles disappear by fading out of the public eye.
In reality, this approach seems to have played a role, and Yoon's approval rating has gradually risen since mid-February this year, according to relevant data, Yoon's approval rating has reached 39% for two consecutive weeks, which is the highest point this year.
Many South Korean media believe that before the election of members of the National Assembly on April 10, Kim Jianxi will most likely not appear in public.
