Kim Keon Hee, the former first lady of South Korea, has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for corruption.

A South Korean court on Friday sentenced Kim Keon Hee, the former first lady of the country, to a 7-year prison term for corruption.

She, the wife of former president Yoon Suk Yeol, was found guilty of receiving "high-value precious metals" in exchange for favors related to public office appointments. Kim Keon Hee is already serving another sentence in a separate corruption case, highlighting the seriousness of the charges against her. The sentence was pronounced in the context of an ongoing fight against corruption among high-ranking officials in South Korea, and her case has attracted considerable media interest.
