Yoon Suk-yeol is the flag bearer of the main conservative opposition People Power Party and will face off against his challenger from the ruling Democratic Party, Lee Jae-myung in a March presidential election.The YTN news network accused Yoon’s wife, Kim Keon-hee, of falsification on parts of her resume when applying for jobs at universities in 2007 and 2013.
She said she did not remember or declined to elaborate on other points the broadcaster raised but apologised on Thursday for causing “discomfort and fatigue”, the Yonhap news agency reported.“Regardless of the reasons, the fact that the credentials were inaccurately stated and it triggered controversy runs counter to fairness and common sense that I have underscored,” Yoon told reporters.
