[Financial News] Jung Ji-won, a former presidential office administrator who served as an aide to Kim Keon Hee, the wife of former President Yoon Suk Yeol, shared an anecdote about Mrs. Kim skipping rope.
On the 29th, former administrator Jung posted a photo of Mrs. Kim skipping rope along with a post about the anecdote on social media (SNS).
Jung said, “I mentioned this once in a post before, but I’ve been inundated with inquiries over the past few days,” and stated, “First Lady Kim Keon Hee does not play golf.”
The remark is understood to have been made with the recent “emperor-style golf lessons” allegation in mind. The allegation was raised by Joo Jin-woo, a People Power Party lawmaker, and concerned First Lady Kim Hye-kyung, wife of President Lee Jae Myung.
Jung explained, “The First Lady had been bedridden for a long time and had lost quite a lot of muscle. Her doctor had also recommended that she do some strength training. So the First Lady bought three jump ropes on Coupang with a personal card.”
Jung added, “Whenever I take the dog out for a walk and see children in the apartment complex practicing jump rope, I think of the First Lady. Long cords like jump ropes are not allowed at the place where the First Lady is.”
Jung has recently been regularly posting anecdotes related to former President Yoon and his wife. On the 17th, Jung also attracted attention by releasing a video of the former presidential couple singing together.
