Choi Seo-won (Korean: ìµìì; born 23 June 1956 as Choi Soon-sil; Korean: ìµìì¤; pronounced [tÍ¡Éʰø.sun.Éil]) is a South Korean businesswoman known primarily for her involvement in the 2016 South Korean political scandal, stemming from her influence over the 11th President of South Korea, Park Geun-hye. In 2018, a court sentenced Choi to 20 years in prison on corruption charges. Due to Choi's concurrent involvement in her father's religious cult, reporting media have called her "South Korea's Rasputin", in reference to Russian mystic Grigori Rasputin.
