Discharged after 11 days… Moved to residence in Seocho-dong, Seoul

Kim Geon-hee, who was hospitalized for depression treatment ahead of the special prosecutor's launch, was discharged on the afternoon of the 27th.

Kim was captured by MBC and YTN cameras leaving the first-floor entrance of Asan Medical Center while in a wheelchair around 4 PM.

On this day, Kim wore a yellow coat and a mask, while her husband, former President Yoon Seok-yeol, drew attention by personally pushing her wheelchair. Kim boarded the prepared vehicle immediately after exiting the hospital and moved to her residence at Acrovista in Seocho-dong, Seoul.

11 days of treatment in VIP ward… Home care after discharge

Kim received outpatient treatment for symptoms of depression on the 13th and, after her condition worsened, was admitted to the VIP ward of Asan Medical Center on the afternoon of the 16th to receive treatment for 11 days. During this time, various speculations regarding the direction of her legal proceedings have emerged ahead of the special prosecutor's launch.

Kim’s lawyer, Choi Ji-woo, stated, "Kim has been discharged today and will continue treatment at home for the time being," adding, "She will faithfully comply with any legitimate requests for attendance made by the special prosecutor's team."

"It is not true that a request for a closed investigation was made… We will discuss the schedule for attendance"

Choi also clarified the rumors about a request for a closed investigation. He said, "Some reports that we requested a closed investigation from the special prosecutor are not true," and indicated that they plan to respond by discussing the date and location if a request for attendance is received.

It is reported that the special prosecutor's team plans to finalize the schedule for Kim's summons as early as this week. With Kim's discharge, the investigation procedures are expected to intensify.
