Chung Yoo-ra’s Extradition from Denmark Could Take Some Time
I would not be surprised if the extradition procedures against Chung Yoo-ra does drag on considering how little evidence of a crime is at least publicly being offered by Korean prosecutors against her:
The extradition of Chung Yoo-ra, the daughter of Choi Soon-sil, the central figure in a massive scandal which has led to the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye, is expected to take some time.
Chung, 20, was arrested in Denmark’s northern city of Aalborg, Sunday, for staying there illegally. A local Danish court approved a four-week extension of her confinement the following day. Chung appealed, but the higher court denied her appeal.
Chung is reported to have accepted the higher court’s ruling, but is unwilling to return to Korea under any circumstances, according to a Yonhap report, Friday.
Earlier, Chung, who has a 19-month-old son with her, proposed to Korean authorities that she would be willing to go to Korea if she could remain with her son, whether at a welfare center or hospital. The authorities denied her request.
She reportedly changed her stance after seeing with her son at the detention center, Thursday.
Chung is arguing that her son is the main reason for her not to be extradited, as she will be detained when she arrives in Korea and won’t be able to take care of him.
By Jan. 30, Danish authorities will review whether the charges Chung faces justify her extradition to Korea. [Korea Times]

More and more it’s looking like it’s the Korean media without any facts to convict someone who clearly was out of her element. It’s looking more like a case of a rich someone who got helped into Ehwa by her mom, and just did what her mom told her to do. In Western age, she’s 20 years old, barely past her age of being a minor. I’m not quite sure how much of all this is fabricated by the media after all the rumors got spiralling out of control, angering the Korean public.
@Tyson, it is pretty clear that Chung is a spoiled rich kid who rebelled against her Mom considering the choice in boyfriend, teenage pregnancy and all the tattoos she has. With that said it is not illegal to be a spoiled rich kid which judging by the evidence so far that is all the authorities have on her.
Not sure about all the legal hooha but sheesh if you’re going to spend as much of your parent’s money as this girl has on building a new face at least get a sexy one, she’s pretty meh.

Regarding Chung Yoo-ra – I read this today in the Chosun Ilbo (translated into English):
++++++++++++++++
Korean residents in Denmark and Sweden staged a candlelight protest in front of the detention center where she is being held to call for her extradition. About two dozen protesters shouted slogans urging Danish authorities to make a quick decision to extradite her. Another protest the day prior was attended by Korean students from the U.K. and tourists from Korea.
++++++++++++++++
So Korean students from the UK felt compelled to travel to Denmark for this? I realize it’s not that far … but travel and lodging in Europe is expensive.
