Former first lady Kim Keon Hee, the wife of ousted President Yook Suk Yeol, was hospitalized on Monday at Seoul Asan Medical Center, where she has been receiving outpatient treatment for undisclosed health issues.

Her health condition was reported to be not critical.

Kim's hospitalization came after President Lee Jae-myung named Min Joong-ki, former chief of the Seoul Central District Court, last week to lead a special counsel probe into Kim over various allegations, including stock price manipulation, her acceptance of a luxury bag and interference with the election nomination process.
