普京将添韩国女婿？韩媒空欢喜一场

 　　Retired¹ admiral Yoon Jong-gu on Friday denied local media reports that his son, Yoon Joon-won, was likely to marry his longtime sweetheart Yekaterina Vladmirovna Putina, the youngest daughter of the Russian president-elect Vladimir Putin, soon.

　　Local media reported earlier that Yoon Joon-won, 27, and Putina, 25, were likely to wed² shortly after Putin's presidential inauguration³ on May 7.

　　However, in an interview with a local paper, Yoon Jong-gu, who once served as a military attach at the Korean Embassy in Moscow, denied the rumor⁴. He was quoted as saying that he had not raised his son to marry without the parents' knowledge. He also said that he plans to file a complaint with the Press Arbitration⁵ Commission against the media outlet⁶ which originally reported the story, according to the report.

　　However, he did not answer the question on whether the younger Yoon has left the country, the same report said.

　　"Yoon will head to Russia on Friday under the protection of Russian bodyguards⁷ as the wedding preparations are being carried out again," a vernacular⁸ daily had said earlier Friday, quoting another media outlet.

　　This is not the first time that speculations⁹ about a marriage involving the two have surfaced. Back in 2010, news about Putin's alleged¹⁰ future son-in-law heated up the local media and Putin's office formally dismissed the rumor.

　　Yoon had complained that he was totally cut off from Putin shortly after the news was released, and refused to talk about his relationship with Putin's daughter.

　　The president's daughter and Yoon are said to have first met at an international school ball in Moscow in 1999. Yoon was in Russia for eight years before moving to the U.S. where he graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign as an international politics major. After graduation he worked for Samsung Electronics in Moscow.

　　Yekaterina Putina was born in 1986 in Dresden, Germany, and attended St. Petersburg State University from where she holds a degree in Japanese history.

　　已退休的韩国海军上将尹钟具（音）上周五否认了儿子尹俊元（音）将与长期交往的女友叶卡捷琳娜-弗拉基米罗夫娜-普京娜结婚的消息。此前当地媒体报道称，尹俊元不久将和俄罗斯当选总统弗拉基米尔-普京的小女儿普京娜结婚。

　　韩国当地媒体早先报道称，今年5月7日普京就任总统后，27岁的尹俊元和25岁的普京娜有望结婚。

　　但韩国当地一家报纸采访尹俊元的父亲尹钟九时，他对此表示否认。尹钟九曾出任韩国驻莫斯科大使馆武官。这家报纸援引他的话说，儿子结婚自己做父母的不可能不知道。报道称，他还表示打算向媒体仲裁委员会投诉这家最先发布这一消息的媒体。

　　但同一篇报道还提到，他并没有回答有关儿子是不是离开了韩国的问题。

　　当地一家日报上周五援引另一家媒体的报道说，“尹俊元将于周五在俄罗斯保镖的护送下前往俄罗斯，两人的婚礼筹备又开始了。”

　　之前就曾出现过有关两人婚礼的猜测。2010年，有关普京未来女婿的报道就曾遭到当地媒体炒作，普京的办公室随后正式否认了这一谣言。

　　尹俊元曾抱怨说，这一消息发布后，自己和普京很快就断了联系，并且拒绝讨论和普京女儿的交往情况。

　　据称，普京娜和尹俊元于1999年在莫斯科一所国际学校的舞会上相识。尹俊元在俄罗斯住了八年，随后前往美国，毕业于伊利诺伊大学香槟分校，主修国际政治。毕业后他在莫斯科的三星电子公司工作。

　　普京娜1986年出生于德国德累斯顿，考取了圣彼得堡国立大学，拿到日本史学位。
