It was confirmed that the spouse of Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha went on a trip to the United States yesterday (3rd) to buy a yacht.
While the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a'special travel advisory' around the world and recommends the people to refrain from traveling, it is pointed out that the spouse of the Minister of Foreign Affairs is on the road to a'yacht-purchase car', which is difficult to see for an essential purpose, so it is inappropriate.
Minister Kang's husband, Lee Il-Byeong, an emeritus professor at Yonsei University, boarded a flight to the US through Incheon International Airport yesterday.
Professor Lee said, "Because I'm an adult," he said, "It's not like you shouldn't go out to play," when asked,'Did Secretary Kang have anything to say about overseas travel?' at a meeting with the KBS reporter.
