Kim Geon-hee, "Even walking alone is difficult"... Low blood pressure and breathing difficulties compounded

[Financial News] Conservative political commentator Seo Jeong-wook lawyer spoke about the health condition of Kim Geon-hee, wife of former President Yoon Seok-yeol.

Lawyer Seo appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' on the 10th and stated, "Kim is not only suffering from depression but also severe dizziness due to low blood pressure, weight loss, and breathing difficulties," adding, "The reason she was in a wheelchair upon discharge was because of these issues. It's not feigning illness."

Additionally, regarding Kim's visits to the Kobana Contents office located in the same building as her residence, he explained, "For someone suffering from depression, social interaction and daily activities aid in treatment," and "She is engaging in light work and interactions with people in a space where she doesn't need to go out separately."

When the host asked, "How can she frequently visit the Kobana office if she can barely walk?", he replied, "Kobana is not far away, it's in the same apartment. Meeting people and being active there helps with depression."

Kim is currently a subject of a special investigation along with former President Yoon, with allegations that she received free poll results from political broker Myung Tae-kyun and provided a nomination to a specific person in the 2022 by-election in return.

Lawyer Seo said, "Since legal disputes are inevitable, we expect a warrant to be requested," and "We are reinforcing the legal team, anticipating the warrant request."

When asked if additional lawyers have been appointed, he replied, "I spoke with lawyer Choi Ji-woo from Kim's side recently, and they said they would appoint about 4 to 5 people soon, and I know some have already been appointed."

He continued, "We have no choice but to confront it head-on. From our perspective, there are no significant issues with the Yangpyeong Expressway, and although there was stock manipulation with Sambo Construction, Kim is not involved," adding, "We expect only the Deutsche Motors case to lead to an indictment, and we believe the rest can be adequately defended."

Regarding the 'nomination intervention' allegations, he argued, "Isn't it that former President Yoon spoke with Congressman Yoon Sang-hyun?" and "Considering Kim as an accomplice based on Yoon's conversation with Congressman Yoon Sang-hyun is excessive."
