SEOUL, September 22 (AJP) - A Seoul court has permitted media outlets to film the opening of the first trial for former First Lady Kim Keon Hee, who faces corruption charges.

The Seoul Central District Court announced on Monday that it will open the courtroom for a media photo and video opportunity before the hearing begins at 2:10 p.m. on Wednesday.

According to the court's decision, video and photography will be permitted from the beginning of the session until the presiding judge announces the conclusion of filming, prior to the formal start of the legal proceedings. Reporters and photographers must leave once proceedings begin.

Kim, the wife of the ousted former President Yoon Suk Yeol, was indicted on Aug. 29 after a special prosecutor accused her of accepting bribes to lobby on behalf of the Unification Church, receiving free polling services from a businessman tied to candidate nominations, and conspiring in a stock manipulation scheme involving Deutsche Motors. She has denied wrongdoing.
