2. Yes, but Kim denies the story completely

The night club at the Renaissance is frequented by prosecutors. I think its near the central district prosecutors office in Seoul.

One of these as yet unproven allegations was that Kim was a "hostess" going by the moniker "Julie," at the former Renaissance Ramada in Seoul, where she formed relationships with prosecutor Yang Dae-taek, and later Yoon Seok-yeol, whom she married in 2012. The distilled version of these allegations is that "Julie" used her relationship with these prosecutors to unethically influence the outcomes of criminal and civil investigations affecting her mother Choi, and herself. Allegedly, family relatives of Choi have confirmed to investigative reporters that Yoon and Kim met by way of an introduction through the owner of the Renaissance.

One of Yoon's mother in law's legal adversaries, Jang Dae-taek, says that Yoon's wife moved in with prosecutor Yang, (while he was married and his wife was overseas) and later dumped Yang to move in with Yoon Seok-yeol, the current presidential candidate, at the luxury Acrovista apartments in Seocho, Seoul. Prosecutor Yang's mother who is in her nineties claims to know Kim, and allegedly verified some of Jang's claims. However, Yoon's supporters says Yang's mother has dementia and is being manipulated by the leftist journalists.

It appears that Yoon may have married Kim after one of Jang's many legal complaints revealed Yoon had a relationship with Kim, namely living with her, which created a conflict of interest because of legal cases involving Kim and her mother pending before the prosecutors offices.
