"Where did Kim Gun-hee go?" When the whereabouts of Princess Kate of the United Kingdom attracted global attention, the "Korea Herald" asked the above question on March 19. Korean media found that as of now, South Korea's "First Lady", who has repeatedly attracted attention and controversy, has been out of the public eye for more than three months, and this situation seems to have no sign of ending. The South Korean parliamentary election is about to take place. Some Korean media analyzed that Kim Gun-hee's "disappearance" may be to help Yoon Seok-yue and the ruling National Power Party win the election. Previously, the "First Lady" had been involved in scandals and suffered criticism. (Global Times, March 21)
Yin Xiyue’s wife, Jin Jianxi, not only likes to be in the public eye, but also often publicly expresses her concern for social issues such as animal rights and environmental protection. She even “steals the limelight” with Yin Xiyue on international occasions. Therefore, Some Korean media asked: Is Yin Xiyue the president of South Korea, or is Kim Jianxi the president of South Korea? Since returning to China with Yin Xiyue from his visit to the Netherlands on December 15, 2023, Jin Jianxi has not appeared in public; especially after Jin Jianxi's unprecedented absence from this year's 105th anniversary ceremony of the "March First Movement", the outside world is particularly interested in Jin Jianxi's disappearance. Where did Jin Jianxi go? Where has South Korea’s “First Lady” gone?
is the first to take shelter from the limelight. There is no doubt that during the nearly two years when Yin Xiyue was president, Kim Jianxi stole the limelight, even overshadowing Yin Xiyue, causing extreme discomfort to the Korean people and the international community. However, the president of South Korea is Yin Xiyue, not Kim Jianxi. Jin Jianxi is more Yin Xiyue than Yin Xiyue, which not only embarrasses Yin Xiyue, but also makes himself disgraced. Maybe Jin Jianxi realized this problem and deliberately avoided the limelight. Facts have proved that Yin Xiyue's approval rate has been very low and declining, but in the three months since Jin Jianxi disappeared, Yin Xiyue's approval rate has indeed increased - in early February, Yin Xiyue's approval rate fell below 30% for the first time in nine months ; Before the first week of March, Yin Xiyue's approval rate reached 39% for two consecutive weeks. It seems that Jin Jianxi is indeed Yin Xiyue's "disaster star" rather than "lucky star".
Second, hiding. Why is Jin Jianxi hiding? Because South Korea will hold a congressional election on April 10, this is not only Yin Xiyue's high school entrance examination, but also a test for Yin Xiyue's "second half of his rule." If Yin Xiyue's ruling party, the People's Power Party, wins and becomes the largest party in the Korean Congress, it will definitely be beneficial to Yin Xiyue's later governance. The goal of Yin Xiyue during his term is to complete core reforms such as labor, pensions, education, and regulations, but so far, these structural reforms have not been completed or have not been carried out. If the National Power Party becomes the largest party in the Korean National Assembly, it will be beneficial to Yin Xiyue's reforms; on the contrary, Yin Xiyue's reforms will be difficult to implement. On major issues related to Yin Xiyue's governance performance, it is a wise move for Kim Jianxi to hide. As South Korean media analysis said, the South Korean President's Office may deliberately not allow Kim Jianxi to attend official events and keep Kim Jianxi away from the spotlight to reduce the accumulation of negative emotions.
Third, go for charity. Looking at the Korean political arena and even the international political arena, the "first lady" usually doesn't care much about politics, at least not too involved in politics, so as to avoid the reputation of "listening to politics behind the curtain" and "ladies interfering in politics". What does the "First Lady" like to do? Environmental protection, public welfare, charity, etc. Jin Jianxi is very concerned about animal rights and environmental protection issues, and has repeatedly published "high opinions", becoming the spokesperson of Yin Xiyue. In this case, it is entirely possible that during the period when Jin Jianxi disappeared, he was doing charity work, and he may have been doing it quietly instead of doing it with great fanfare. Kim Jian-hee has a very bad impression in the minds of the Korean people. Does she hope to restore and reverse her public image by doing charity? If Jin Jianxi really does charity, it will be good for himself and Yin Xiyue, so why not do it!
Where did Jin Jianxi go and what did he do? It is estimated that only Jin Jianxi knows, maybe Yin Xiyue knows, maybe Yin Xiyue doesn't know either. Is there another possibility? Jin Jianxi went to have a beauty treatment.Beauty and body care is very popular in Korea, and Jin Jianxi has done beauty and body care. Do you feel that the previous beauty and body care is outdated, and you should keep up with the trend of the times and go for beauty and body care again? However, I personally think that Jin Jianxi will definitely show up before long - Jin Jianxi, who likes to show off, cannot just disappear. It is estimated that after the Korean parliamentary elections, Kim Jian-hee will return to her true colors, not only assuming the responsibility of South Korea's "First Lady", but may also play the role of South Korea's president again. This is Kim Jian-hee's true face. (Mao Kaiyun)
