Ex-South Korean president Yoon reunites with wife in courtroom after nine months apart

Tuesday, 14 April 2026, 12:16 · 1 min read

Former South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol and his detained wife, Kim Keon Hee, were briefly reunited in a Seoul courtroom on Tuesday — their first meeting in nine months. Kim, who has been jailed since August on corruption charges, appeared as a witness in Yoon's trial over allegations that he illegally accepted opinion poll services worth roughly $183,000 ahead of his 2022 election victory; she declined to answer questions from prosecutors. The Seoul Central District Court indicated that hearings in Yoon's case are expected to conclude next month, with a verdict likely in June.
