SEOUL, September 30 (AJP) - First Lady Kim Hea Kyung is not accompanying President Lee Jae-myung to his summit with outgoing Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in Busan on Tuesday.
In a press briefing at the presidential office in Yongsan, Seoul, presidential physician Park Sang-min said that Kim "suffered sudden dizziness last night" and was diagnosed with otolithiasis, an inner ear condition that causes vertigo.
"She got much better but still experiences dizziness, so she will rest for a few days," Park said. He added that vertigo often requires maintaining a stable lifestyle and avoiding sudden head movements even after treatment, meaning that she will skip official events for a while.
Kim was initially scheduled to meet Yoshiko Ishiba, the wife of the Japanese leader, for a spousal event as part of the summit.
