On April 4, 2025, the Constitutional Court painstakingly reached a unanimous decision to impeach. The moment the order "We impeach President Yoon Seok-yeol" was pronounced, countless citizens teared up and embraced strangers, cheering in the streets, and the scene was broadcast live around the world. People who spent sleepless nights cheering each other on during the cold winter, holding candles in the square, and the cries of citizens who repeatedly gathered and dispersed, finally returned as one justice. But this was not the end. The people's will to end the insurrection was completely trampled by National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-shik's remarks on constitutional amendment, who was thought to be on the side of the people. It proved how many people waiting for selfish gains were lined up behind Woo Won-shik's foolish choice. Even those waiting for legal punishment, such as the criminal couple Han Deok-soo and Choi Sang-mok, who were on the same boat until the end, showed the behavior of working on the side of defending the insurrection until the end, which is like seeing intellectuals who were committed to selling the country a hundred years ago.

With the Constitutional Court's ruling to impeach Yoon Suk-yeol, the 'Kim Keon-hee era' has now come to an end. Kim Keon-hee is enjoying power that even Lee Soon-ja, the wife of Chun Doo-hwan who made a name for herself with her influence during the military dictatorship, did not enjoy. Behind Yoon Suk-yeol's impeachment lies a deeper and more sinister reality of power, and at its center is Kim Keon-hee. Now it is time to judge the unelected president's spouse for abusing power and committing crimes. Kim Keon-hee is the embodiment of 'insensitive power'. Of course, it was also possible for those who were educated and uneducated to join in Lee Soon-ja and Kim Keon-hee's antics and pursue their own selfish desires because they lacked morality and were insensitive to ethics.

Why has Kim Keon-hee been able to wield her power in silence, without ever admitting or apologizing for her crimes, despite so many criminal allegations? And how could she lead crimes and exert influence while all the state's power institutions protected her? The answer to this question cannot be explained simply by 'abuse of power by a spouse.' She is psychologically 'a person lacking a sense of guilt,' and specific personality traits and behaviors support this. When Yoon Seok-yeol became a presidential candidate and spousal issues began to be reported in the media, the voices of voters who could recognize the ominous energy at a glance were buried, and the media and public opinion engaged in incitement bordering on fabrication.

A criminal is not born overnight. The mother, Choi Eun-soon, lived a life similar to that of female con artist Jang Young-ja. If Jang Young-ja is labeled as an economic offender, Choi Eun-soon is a uniquely brazen Korean criminal who started by swindling the most vile and downtrodden people, clinging to the highest power in the country to get what she wanted. Both Jang Young-ja and Choi Eun-soon cultivated excessive desires, and these desires stem from problems in their upbringing. The fact that Kim Keon-hee could aspire to the position of First Lady with her so-called prostitute background is largely due to her parents' influence. Although we cannot know all of Choi Eun-soon's upbringing and views on marriage, it seems she inherited psychopathic genes. Psychopaths have no hesitation in killing. The past three years, when events more dramatic than a drama unfolded in reality, require a sociopathological spotlight on how these mother and daughter have lived their lives. This is because it reveals the bare face of Korean society.

The self-centered attitude, lack of empathy for others, and extreme avoidance of criticism repeatedly revealed in Kim Keon-hee's behavior are consistent with the typical characteristics of narcissistic personality disorder. Her belief that she is special and the excessive delusion that she should receive special treatment have already gone too far, but the human relationships she has built up over the years more than prove that desire. She tends to instrumentalize others and shows a tendency to not recognize or ignore the impact of her actions on others. The rumor that Kim Keon-hee filed the death report of Professor Lee Yeon-sook of Covana Contents was a matter to be investigated, and the suspicion is a typical criminal style of a psychopath who finished laundering her identity through identity theft, academic background and career forgery. The suspicious incident that already occurred in 2011 was buried, and her subsequent actions were swift.

When people are overwhelmed, they choose to die or their mental world becomes strange and they lose their minds. It is true that rumors of how difficult an experience she had follow Kim Keon-hee. However, having decided to transcend her status, she would not have considered any obstacles as obstacles. It seems that elites in the shape of the highest authority in Korea have served and used as their own limbs a human being who is inherently lacking in empathy and has cultivated excessive desires. Kim Keon-hee has stimulated the petty desires of the exquisitely beautiful elites through various hardships.

Yoon Seok-yeol, who avoided disciplinary action by marrying Kim Keon-hee while being investigated as a suspect, forged 34.9 billion won in bank balances when his mother-in-law Choi Eun-soon invested in real estate while he was the special investigation team leader for the National Intelligence Service's public opinion manipulation case in 2013. A petty thief becomes a big thief. Kim Keon-hee and her mother Choi Eun-soon decided to become big thieves, so Korea was already morally bound to decline in national fortune at this time. There is plenty of evidence that Moon Jae-in also shows psychopathic tendencies with them on the same side. We cannot even imagine how many institutions and people have been ruined and corrupted in the decade since then. It is easy for evil to expand its power, but purification is difficult. Even if prices rise and fall, it is like picking stars in the sky to lower the price of necessities again. Our people have accomplished all of this in just three years.

Kim Keon-hee's moral judgment is distorted by 'self-rationalization,' and she has no sense of guilt in the first place. Judgment should be made in consideration of a lack of empathy, repeated unethical behavior, a lack of guilt, and psychopathic tendencies such as lying or manipulative behavior. Psychopaths recognize social norms but do not apply them to their behavior, and use ethics as a 'tool' as needed. This is evident in Kim Keon-hee's attitude of appearing expressionless or even dignified in front of the media, even after being implicated in numerous allegations. Is the degradation of humanity occurring at the level of all mankind to the extent that we need to analyze it in conjunction with the psychopathology of the privileged? The 21st century is a time to prove the harm of materialism.

Kim Keon-hee has long been at the center of criminal allegations. Kim Keon-hee has been subject to a special prosecutor's investigation due to various allegations. From Deutsche Motors and Sambu Construction stock manipulation, suspicions of large corporations' sponsorship of Covana Contents, and receiving luxury bags, the number of suspicions and corruption is unimaginable. And the most important suspicion is that she is a key figure in insurrection. She even dabbled in drugs. It's not just celebrities going to hospitals for propofol, but she is suspected of being behind the smuggling of methamphetamine from Malaysia through Incheon Airport Customs. Baek Hae-ryong, a police officer at the Yeongdeungpo Police Station, was investigating this huge drug case when he was demoted due to the intervention of Yongsan, and the person who covered up the Incheon Airport Customs drug case at that time was Shim Woo-jung, the current Prosecutor General, who was the head of the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office. Rumor has it that Shim Woo-jung was chosen as Prosecutor General as a result of handling the drug case well. There are mountains of things that are hard to believe even if proven. Our society has become one where psychopaths and sociopaths are at the core of power. Yet, Kim Keon-hee has never been the subject of an investigation. This is the reality of South Korea.

In the end, Kim Keon-hee has finally entered the realm of judicial process due to Yoon Seok-yeol's own blunder. It must lead to punishment. The people can also do drugs, take bribes, and commit murder. They are just enduring it.

Kim Keon-hee, investigate her without fail. Punish her without fail. That is the beginning of true 'normalization'.
