She was extradited from South Korea to face the charges, which she denies.  <\/p>\n<p>The children&#8217;s remains were found inside luggage at an abandoned storage unit in Auckland in August 2022. Lee, who is a New Zealand citizen, had traveled to South Korea and changed her name in 2018, shortly after the children are believed to have been killed. <\/p>\n<p>She was born in South Korea and went by the name Ji Eun Lee previously. <\/p>\n<p>A jury was chosen on Monday for Lee&#8217;s trial at the High Court in Auckland, which is expected to take four weeks. Prosecutors are due to outline their case on Tuesday and said they would call 40 witnesses. <\/p>\n<p>New Zealand news outlets reported that Lee was representing herself, although two lawyers were on standby to help her if needed. She didn&#8217;t speak during the hearing on Monday and shook her head, rather than answering through an interpreter, when asked how she pleaded to the charges.  <\/p>\n<p>Not guilty pleas were entered by Justice Geoffrey Venning, who is presiding.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2022\/08\/22\/d431d82e-94e8-4b57-aabe-449dc45723b5\/thumbnail\/620x349\/c7212a6cbb9ca359f51c333c94e8aafb\/2022-08-19t020455z-2140446960-rc2ezv9e0ab0-rtrmadp-3-newzealand-crime.jpg#\" alt=\"Bodies of two children found in suitcases bought at auction in New Zealand \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2022\/08\/22\/d431d82e-94e8-4b57-aabe-449dc45723b5\/thumbnail\/620x349\/c7212a6cbb9ca359f51c333c94e8aafb\/2022-08-19t020455z-2140446960-rc2ezv9e0ab0-rtrmadp-3-newzealand-crime.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2022\/08\/22\/d431d82e-94e8-4b57-aabe-449dc45723b5\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/3ad8cb7d61d5ecd860e82d179c4b3da7\/2022-08-19t020455z-2140446960-rc2ezv9e0ab0-rtrmadp-3-newzealand-crime.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Police and forensic investigators gather at the scene where suitcases with the remains of two children were found after a family not connected to the deaths bought the suitcases in an online auction for an unclaimed locker, in Auckland, New Zealand, in this still image taken from video.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                TVNZ \/ Handout via REUTERS TV<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The children&#8217;s cause of death remains unknown.
