[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joo-hee] The educational background and awards have been added to the Naver profile of Kim Geon-hee, spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate.
On the 27th, searching for 'Kim Geon-hee' on Naver reveals the updated profile. At the bottom of the profile, the phrase 'Self-participation 2022.01.26.' is written, indicating that new information was likely added at Kim's request on the 26th. Naver's 'Person Information Self-Participation' is a service that allows the individual or their representative to directly register, modify, or request deletion of personal information.
The newly added educational background for Kim includes '1996 Bachelor of Painting, Kyonggi University,' '1999 Master of Art Education, Graduate School of Education, Sookmyung Women's University,' '2008 Ph.D. in Design, Graduate School of Techno Design, Kookmin University,' and '2012 Master of Business Administration, Graduate School of Business, Seoul National University' among others.
Previously, when Kim applied for an adjunct professor position at Kookmin University in 2014, she was suspected of exaggerating her Seoul National University credentials on her resume by listing it as 'Master's in Business Administration, Seoul National University,' implying it was a general graduate school rather than a specialized graduate school. This appears to have been corrected in the updated profile.
Regarding awards, three honors received through the 'Mark Rothko Exhibition' in 2016 were registered: the 2nd Seoul Arts Center Arts Award Exhibition Division Grand Prize, the Audience Award, and the Press Award.
Kim's Naver profile was first registered on the 24th. Along with her photo, her occupation was recorded as 'Exhibition Planner,' and her affiliation as 'Kobana Co., Ltd. (CEO)'.
Regarding the registration of Kim's profile, some speculated that her official public appearance might be imminent. In this context, People Power Party lawmaker Ha Tae-kyung said in an interview with YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Starting New Morning' on the 26th, "How many stories and news are there related to Kim Geon-hee? In terms of content, she has already appeared," adding, "It is a natural situation for her to appear at any time."
