Ex-South Korean First Lady Skips Questioning Due to Health

The former first lady of South Korea, Kim Keon Hee, is being investigated for possibly taking bribes and other wrongdoings.

She was supposed to answer questions, but she said she's too unwell to go.

She's accused of things like making money from stocks in a shady way and accepting expensive gifts.

Prosecutors are looking at a fancy necklace she got as a possible bribe.

She says the necklace wasn't real.

The investigators are deciding what to charge her with, since she didn't work in government but is suspected of using her influence.
