Overview

• Eleven pets—six dogs and five cats—remain at the couple’s Seocho residence, tended by Kim Keon Hee’s former aides and staff from her art company.
• Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Presidential Security Act defines duties to protect the former president’s life and property, extending Yoon’s security coverage through April 2035.
• Assigned bodyguards will be gradually withdrawn from the Seocho-dong home, leaving a minimal team tasked solely with intrusion monitoring.
• Several of the aides now caring for the animals are under investigation by the special prosecution counsel in the ongoing probe into Kim’s inner circle.
• Officials point to the 2017 surveillance of Park Geun-hye’s Samseong-dong residence as the model for maintaining reduced security on an arrested former president’s home.
