Former South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue's wife Kim Gun-hee will be detained until the end of the year

China News Service, Seoul, October 27 (Reporter Kim Wook) On the 27th local time, the Supreme Court of South Korea issued an additional arrest warrant for Kim Gun-hee, the wife of former South Korean President Yoon Seok-yue, on the grounds of "the possibility of destroying evidence or absconding." Jin Jianxi's detention period, which was originally scheduled to expire on October 31, will be temporarily extended by two months to the end of this year.

Jin Jianxi has been involved in many cases and has been in custody since August 2025. In April 2026, Jin Jianxi was sentenced to 4 years in prison in the second instance for manipulating stock prices, accepting bribes and other crimes.

According to Yonhap News Agency, since the relevant cases are still being heard by the Supreme Court and it is difficult to make a final judgment before the expiration of the detention period, the South Korean Special Inspection Team has requested the Second Court of the South Korean Supreme Court to issue a new arrest warrant on October 15 to prevent Kim Jianxi from being released. After a review hearing on the 27th, the Supreme Court of South Korea decided to extend his detention period.

In addition, in response to suspected violations during the relocation of the presidential residence during Yin Xiyue's administration, the special inspection team additionally prosecuted Jin Jianxi in August 2026. On September 22, Jin Jianxi was sentenced to 5 years in prison in the second trial of the "selling off official position" case.
