Australian News in 10 Minutes: Thursday, November 6
South Korean Frist Lady Kim Geon-hee is facing scrutiny following a search and seizure linked to allegations of preferential treatment in the relocation of the presidential residence. Investigators searched locations including the offices and home of Ms. Kim and her husband, former president Yoon Seok-yeol, as well as the offices of 21 Gram, a company contracted for interior construction of the new residence.
The investigation centers on claims that 21 Gram received favorable treatment despite not holding a general construction license, allegedly due to its sponsorship of an exhibition hosted by Ms. Kim’s Kobana Contents. Ms. Kim’s side has protested the search, questioning its proportionality given previous data collection.This case raises questions about transparency and potential conflicts of interest within the South Korean government.
