Can they still live as a couple? Kim Geon-hee moved into a hotel-like prison, with conditions much better than Yoon Suk-yeol.

The Seoul Central District Court issued an arrest warrant for Kim Geon-hee, the wife of former President Yoon Suk-yeol, due to concerns about her destroying evidence.

After being questioned for about four hours before her arrest, she was directly sent to the Seoul Southern Detention Center for detention.

She was placed in a single-cell room measuring 6.6 square meters, equipped with basic facilities such as a storage cabinet, folding dining table, TV, fan, and toilet, and also has a 24-hour surveillance system.

Like ordinary detainees, she needs to sleep on the floor, and her meals are exactly the same. However, because the Southern Detention Center is a modern facility built in 2011, it is called "a hotel within a prison" by the outside world, and its hardware conditions are much better than traditional prisons.

Yoon Suk-yeol is currently detained at the Seoul Detention Center in Uiwang City, Gyeonggi Province. This old facility, built in the 1960s, has significantly worse conditions.

Although both are in single-cell rooms, Yoon's room is about 10 square meters, but lacks modern equipment such as air conditioning. It is very hot in summer and cold in winter, making the environment relatively more harsh.

After his arrest, Yoon went through the same detention process as ordinary prisoners, including a medical examination, changing into prison clothes, and taking identification photos. However, long-term detention in an old prison has created a noticeable difference in living quality compared to his wife's detention center. He even had to use up all his meetings with lawyers just to get some air conditioning.

Now, the two are in different detention centers, about 16 kilometers apart, each facing legal trials and prolonged periods of detention.

This drama of a couple both ending up in prison is extremely shocking in the entire South Korean political arena, and it is unprecedented.
