In his first news conference in nearly two years, South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol pledged to tame inflation and create a new ministry to boost the country’s birth rate. He also sought to draw a line under the so-called handbag saga involving his wife, describing First Lady Kim Keon-hee’s actions were “unwise”.

    South Korea is so materialistic even their politics is about Dior handbags.😂
  • @RYANSPRIVATES
    This is what considered a scandal in south korea? Lightweights
  • @zevil89
    The issue is not even about accepting a bribe. Its about how cheap it is for a high ranking person to accept a lowly Dior purse. At least make it a few million dollars
  • @ilovelimpfries
    This lady has a lot of work done, and her husband can afford her the best surgeon money can buy in Korea. Money well spent, I say.
  • @Ausf
    It's like the video of the little Korean girl accepting candy from strangers. When little Korean girls grow up, they can't resist handbags.
  • @haiacninc
    Whats wrong guys? she truly represents South Korean. Plastic/botox the entire face. Materialistic life style is like the trend they created.
  • @cj41079
    Is it me or she looks like his daughter 😂😂😂😂
  • Poodle president of SK : i am so sorry for being caught while taking bribes, next time i will do better 😂😂😂.
  • I don't see any of that @nextlastChang guy comment here. Oh ! That's because this news is about South Korea not China, he will only give his anti-China comments if this is about a Chinese politican's wife accepting expensive branded handbag. 😁😆🤣
  • @GOTravelhannel
    At least the taxpayers there hold their leaders accountable.
  • @KAAnn-uc8nn
    Was the bag to go with her plastic surgery? South Korean women are looking all the same nowadays.
  • @intreoo
    Koreans will literally go into debt to buy name-brand items. Why is the president's wife celebrating such a tradition such a scandal?
  • @ramenman534
    Guarantee there was alot of “ya!” And “shibal!”
  • @PatHand-og9yd
    Shouldn’t all countries aim at a stable population, rather than increasing population?
  • I'm sorry... Please vote for me again... (so I can make same mistakes again)
  • @danleonhart1
    How she still look like she's in her twenties at 52?
  • @pychu9067
    Is she his second wife or something like that….standing next to him, she looks like his daughter!
