South Korea's former first lady - who has drawn comparisons to executed French queen Marie Antoinette over her 'thirst for luxury' - has been jailed for taking bribes while her husband was in office. The presidential couple, who have been jailed separately for months, suffered a spectacular fall from grace after Yoon´s martial law debacle in December 2024 led to his impeachment and eventually his removal from office. Yoon was handed a five-year prison term this month for defying authorities´ attempts to detain him and other charges related to the martial law decree. Investigators say Kim was not involved in Yoon's martial law enforcement. Prosecutors have demanded the death sentence for Yoon by viewing his martial law imposition as a rebellion.
