A bizarre saga involving a painting attributed to Lee Ufan and Kim Keon-hee, the wife of South Korea’s impeached and jailed former president Yoon Suk-yeol, may be drawing to a close.

Kim Sang-min, a former chief prosecutor, had previously been accused of purchasing Lee’s From Point No. 800298 in 2023 for around 140 million won (about $100,000) and then gifting the work to the former first lady in exchange for political favors. On Monday, he was acquitted of violating the Improper Solicitation and Graft Act. He was, however, found guilty of illegally receiving political funds and sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for one year, and ordered to forfeit approximately 41 million won (about $28,000).
