In a scene straight out of a K-drama, South Korean prosecutors raided the People Power Party headquarters on Wednesday, just a day after the arrest of former first lady Kim Keon-hee. 🚨🔍
Kim, 52, was detained Tuesday night on charges ranging from stock manipulation to corruption. Prosecutors say she might have meddled in parliamentary elections, so they swooped in at the party HQ to gather evidence. 💼📊
The raid follows an 848-page report by prosecutors outlining Kim’s alleged unlawful acts. A Seoul court approved her arrest warrant, worried she might tamper with evidence if free. 📝⚖️
This isn’t just about Kim. Her husband, ex-president Yoon Suk-yeol, has been behind bars since July 10 after being removed from office for attempting to declare martial law last December — a move that backfired when opposition MPs shot it down. 🏛️💥
With both the former president and first lady now in detention, South Korea faces an unprecedented moment: the first time a president and his spouse are jailed together. 🇰🇷🔒
Opposition leader Song Eon-seog slammed the raid as gangster behavior, accusing the special prosecution of ruthless political retaliation. 🎙️😡
Meanwhile, Yoon quit the party in May but still endorsed its candidate in the snap presidential election won by Lee Jae-myung. The drama continues to unfold as South Koreans watch closely… 👀
Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping political saga shaking up the ROK! 🌐✨
