Kim faces stock manipulation, election influence, bribery allegations — plus 13 more
Former first lady Kim Keon Hee appeared in court Tuesday morning for a detention warrant hearing, after a special counsel team led by Min Joong-ki sought her arrest on charges including violations of the Political Funds Act, the Financial Investment Services and Capital Markets Act, and bribery. The probe centers on her alleged role in stock price manipulation involving imported car dealer Deutsch Motors, influence-peddling in the 2022 by-elections and a bribery case linked to shaman Jeon Seong-bae. But investigators still have 13 other major allegations to examine before their 150-day mandate expires on Nov. 29. Among the list of suspicions, Kim faces accusations that her company, Covana Contents, had enjoyed extensive sponsorship from large companies seeking to build ties with Yoon Suk Yeol, who had served as the head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office before becoming prosecutor general and later president. The special counsel announced that it had 'reexamined past investigation records regarding the case involving allegations of sponsorships that might constitute bribes.' The team has also conducted multiple search and seizure operations, and summoned individuals ranging from sitting lawmakers and a religious figure to former and current company CEOs. It is also looking into Kim's alleged violation of the anti-graft law and was set to arrest her aide Kim Ye-seong, widely known as the former first lady's "butler." A local court previously issued an arrest warrant for Kim Ye-seong in July on charges of occupational breach of trust. The butler Kim was previously convicted for his involvement in forging a bank balance certificate for Kim Keon Hee's mother, and is suspected of receiving 18.4 billion won ($13.2 million) in improper investments from major companies — including Kakao Mobility, HS Hyosung and Shinhan Bank — for his rental car company IMS Mobility, formerly known as BeMyCar. He is thought to have made a large profit by selling his 4.6 billion won stake through a shell company during the investment process. But since the company had more debts than assets and was considered to be in a state of capital erosion, the special counsel team suspected that the investors provided funds as a possible quid pro quo, considering the close ties between Kim Ye-seong and the former first lady. BeMyCar was also one of the companies that sponsored Covana Contents, an exhibition agency run by the former first lady, since the mid-2010s. The special counsel team is set to investigate Kim Keon Hee's alleged involvement in a large-scale drug smuggling case. The probe centers on claims that South Korean customs officials aided Malaysian smugglers in bringing methamphetamine through Incheon Airport in early 2023. After the suspected smugglers implicated an Incheon Customs official, a police investigation was launched but reportedly faced pressure to halt from high-ranking presidential, police and customs officials. The allegations surfaced after Baek Hae-ryong, former head of the Yeongdeungpo Police investigation team, revealed that he received a phone call from Cho Byeong-no, a senior officer in the Seoul Metropolitan Police. During the call, Cho allegedly told Baek to remove references to the Korea Customs Service before the October 2023 press briefing announcing the investigation's results. Cho was previously suspected of asking Lee Jong-ho — the former CEO of Black Pear Invest and a key suspect in the alleged stock price manipulation involving the former first lady — to help him get promoted. Investigators suspect that the connections between Kim, the police official Cho and the businessman Lee may point to influence peddling and interference in state affairs. The special counsel team also plans to continue its investigation into the recently revealed cases involving luxury gifts such as a Van Cleef & Arpels necklace and a Vacheron Constantin watch, as the team is required to look into any related criminal acts identified during its investigation.

Lee, Trump to hold summit in US on Aug. 25
Lee faces test amid Trump's push for security contributions from allies President Lee Jae Myung will meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House for their first summit on Aug. 25, with the leaders of the two allied countries expected to address sensitive security and trade issues. Lee's spokesperson Kang Yu-jung said Tuesday that the president would leave Seoul on Aug. 24 for a three-day trip, which also includes a working lunch with Trump on the day they hold the summit. The summit will put Lee's diplomatic skills to the test as he seeks to prioritize national interests while bolstering the alliance amid rising US-China tensions. The two leaders are also expected to finalize the details of a bilateral tariff agreement reached on July 30. There is also speculation that the Trump administration may revive its push for higher South Korean defense contributions and what Washington calls 'alliance modernization' to reshape the bilateral partnership. Regarding the summit agenda, Lee's spokesperson said the two leaders would discuss ways to advance the alliance in a "future-oriented, comprehensive and strategic" manner to counter global security and economic challenges. South Korea and the US cemented their alliance following the 1953 armistice that ended fighting in the Korean War. The talks will also cover peace and denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula, she said. Economic cooperation in semiconductors, batteries and shipbuilding, as well as partnerships on cutting-edge technologies and critical minerals, are also on the agenda, she added. As for reports that Lee might also visit Japan around the time of his US trip, Kang said nothing had been confirmed, adding that many possible scenarios were being taken into account. Regarding the possibility of Lee visiting a shipyard in the US — in support of the "Make American Shipbuilding Great Again" pledge made during the tariff negotiations — Kang said it could happen but did not elaborate. Seoul is not currently reviewing having South Korean business leaders accompany Lee on the trip, but Kang said that could change if any concrete discussions take place. The upcoming trip will be Lee's first to the United States since his inauguration on June 4. It will be his second trip overseas as president, following his visit to Canada to attend a Group of Seven summit in early June. In late July, Trump announced that the US had reached a trade agreement with South Korea just before Washington's Aug. 1 deadline. Under the agreement, the US will impose new tariffs of 15 percent on Korean imports, including automobiles and auto parts, instead of a proposed 25 percent. In addition, South Korea promised $350 billion worth of investment in projects in the US, including in shipbuilding, and $100 billion in energy purchases. Trump hinted at the time that he would invite Lee to the White House within two weeks. The visit is occurring later than that "because of working-level arrangements," Kang said, adding that first lady Kim Hea Kyung would accompany Lee on his trip. Lee has yet to appoint a South Korean ambassador to the US. With the departure of Cho Hyun-dong, appointed by Lee's predecessor Yoon Suk Yeol, acting Ambassador Lee Joon-ho now leads South Korea's diplomatic mission in Washington. When asked when the position might be filled, Kang said the decision was yet to be made.

Analysts noted that investors were awaiting US consumer price data due Tuesday (US time), which could provide clues on the Federal Reserve's future interest rate path. "Investors are waiting to see as the figures could prompt a possible rate cut by the Federal Reserve," Lee Jae-won, an analyst at Shinhan Securities Co., said, noting the US consumer price data is set to be released at 9:30 p.m. (Seoul time). Investors are also waiting for the outcome of consultations between the government and the ruling party on scrapping earlier plans to tighten capital gains tax rules. Energy, shipbuilding and entertainment shares led the decline. Doosan Enerbility slumped 5.62 percent to 65,500 won, and Korea Electric Power Corp. lost 1.15 percent to 38,550 won.
