  "summary": "Former first lady Kim Keon Hee and opposition lawmaker Rep. Yoon Han-hong have been indicted for their alleged involvement in a presidential residence relocation project during the tenure of former President Yoon Suk Yeol. The special counsel team, led by Kwon Chang-young, has charged both individuals with interfering in the project, which was awarded to the unqualified construction company 21 Gram in the amount of 4.12 billion won ($2.92 million). The investigation suggests that the contractor was changed to 21 Gram at the direction of Kim and Rep. Yoon, who were once part of Yoon's presidential transition team tasked with the relocation. Kim is further accused of accepting bribes and valuables worth 10.12 million won from 21 Gram in exchange for the contract and related construction cost favors.",
