KRFormer South Korean Land Minister Won Hee-ryong is expected to face questioning regarding a controversial expressway project that was later canceled. The project, known as the Seoul-Yangpyeong expressway, was alleged to have been altered to benefit the family of former first lady Kim Keon Hee, who is currently imprisoned. Won, who served as land minister under President Yoon Suk Yeol from 2022 to 2023, previously denied these allegations and decided to scrap the project. The special council investigating the matter has already placed Won under a travel ban and confiscated his mobile phone.
