SEOUL, President Yoon Suk Yeol's interview with KBS will air at 10 p.m. Wednesday in the form of a 100-minute mini documentary featuring close-up views of the inside of the presidential office, officials said. The interview, which is intended to mark the New Year, was filmed at the presidential office Sunday amid keen attention on what Yoon will say regarding allegations his wife, Kim Keon Hee, accepted a luxury handbag as a gift in 2022, after he took office. The piece will air on KBS 1TV under the title "KBS Special Interview: Inside the Presidential Office," the public broadcaster said on its website Tuesday. The interview was hosted by KBS news anchor Park Jang-beom. Pressure has mounted on Yoon to address the allegations surrounding the first lady, even as his office has maintained the gift was given by a Korean American pastor as part of a premeditated hidden camera trap. The issue has threatened to hurt the chances of the ruling party ahead of the April 10 parliamentary elections, while Kim has st ayed out of the public eye since returning with her husband from a visit to the Netherlands in December. Presidential officials said Yoon spoke candidly during the interview without the use of notes or a teleprompter. In addition to the first lady issue, Yoon also spoke about his plans for his third year in office, including in the political, economic and foreign policy spheres, and addressed his recent reported clash with ruling People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon over candidate nominations for the upcoming elections. The program will feature Yoon giving a tour of the presidential office building, including his office, the Cabinet meeting room and a hall displaying the portraits of former presidents, to help the public better understand the functions and work of the presidential office, which Yoon relocated to its current location in Yongsan under a campaign pledge to draw closer to the people.
