According to the notice of non-prosecution of the luxury bag case, Mrs. Kim stated that Pastor Choi's request to invite him to dinner during President Biden's visit to Korea was "not related to each other because it happened before the time of receiving the gift."In response to the request for
to appoint former U.S. Congressman Kim Chang-joon as a member of the National Assembly Advisory Committee, he replied, "I don't remember when I checked the message, and I never thought about the gift because Pastor Choi didn't mention it again at the time of the interview or after."Regarding Pastor Choi's request to bury former lawmaker Kim in the national cemetery,
, he claimed that he did not remember receiving the request at all.
In the disposition, the prosecution wrote that it was "not objectively confirmed" whether gifts such as luxury bags were related to the president's duties, but based on the fact that the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission determined that they were not related to their duties, "there is no obligation to report to the president."
In addition, the prosecution judged that Pastor Choi's request for Kim to attend a civilian diplomatic delegation event or purchase art was not related to the president's duties, as he asked Kim Gun-hee's "individual".
