President Yoon is a South Korean leader who has been embroiled in controversy surrounding his wife's acceptance of a luxury handbag gift. Despite his initial reservations, he has chosen not to apologize for his wife's actions and has instead vowed to ensure that similar incidents do not happen again. Ms. Kim, the first lady of South Korea, has been accused of accepting the gift of a $2,200 Dior handbag from Mr. Choi, a North Korea sympathizer and opposition member.
Despite prosecutors declining to pursue the case, "Mr." Yoon has opted to veto a bill passed by the national assembly calling for an investigation into his wife's actions... which has not deterred the Minju opposition party from continuing to pursue the matter.
Without apologizing, President Yoon said his wife's ‘behavior' was ‘unwise,' and vowed ‘to ensure such incidents do not happen again.' Dior never got so much free advertising in Korea for its line of super-luxury handbags, but now it looks like the fun is nearing an end.
