The classy fashion style of South Korean first lady Kim Keon Hee

With her youthful and elegant fashion style, Kim Keon Hee, the First Lady of South Korea, is always the center of media attention whenever she appears in public with her husband.

Kim Keon Hee (born in 1972) studied painting at Kyonggi University (South Korea). She then earned a Master's degree in art education and a Ph.D. in digital content design. Beyond teaching at universities, she pursued a career in the arts and design industry. In 2007, she founded Covana Contents, a company specializing in exhibition planning and organizing large-scale art exhibitions.

With her inherent knowledge of art, Kim Keon Hee had no difficulty cultivating a sophisticated fashion style. Her outfits showcased refinement, elegance, and appropriateness for each event and occasion. The South Korean First Lady also rarely wore the same outfit twice, often updating her style with new trends or creatively combining different pieces.

Instead of the modest, quiet image of previous first ladies, Kim Keon Hee attracted attention with her elegant and confident style. In an interview in 2018, when her husband was still serving as Chief Prosecutor of the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office, she asserted, "I don't want to give up my career and become a housewife just because my husband is a high-ranking official."

Kim Keon Hee visited a Korean grocery store at the Maravillas market in Madrid on June 30, 2022. Shortly afterward, the Ukrainian embassy in South Korea posted a photo of her on social media, thanking her for the solidarity shown through her attire in the colors of the Ukrainian flag.

As one of the rare first ladies to have her own fan club with approximately 100,000 members, Kim Keon Hee has also faced much controversy. Many believe she should step back instead of appearing so prominently and overshadowing her husband. Meanwhile, many others defend her, arguing that she is doing a good job and contributing to a positive image of South Korea in the eyes of the world .

Kim Keon Hee's influence is no less than that of fashion icons in the Korean entertainment industry. The Billiontem tote bag she used sold out in just a few hours. The product was then so sought after that the company had to open multiple order periods to meet customer demand. Many other fashion items also created similar hype after being worn by Kim Keon Hee.
