S. Korea: Special Counsel Seeks Arrest of Shaman in Bribery Case

Imagine a mystery unfolding in South Korea involving important people.

A special investigator is trying to find out if the former first lady, Kim Keon Hee, took expensive gifts, like a necklace and bags, in exchange for helping a church with their businesses.

The gifts were given by a shaman, someone who helps people with spiritual matters, and the investigator wants to arrest the shaman.

They also suspect the shaman helped people who wanted to be politicians.

The former first lady has been questioned and is being held.

It is like a game of hide-and-seek where the investigator is looking for evidence to uncover if these people did something wrong.
