[단독]野, ‘Suspicion of Myeong Tae-gyun’ added… Kim Kun-hee Special Prosecutor Act proposed today | Dong-A Ilbo

Third… 8 charges → expanded to 13

On the 17th, the Democratic Party of Korea re-introduced the ‘Kim Kun-hee Special Prosecutor’s Act’, which added new suspicions of Myung Tae-gyun’s manipulation of public opinion polls and of First Lady Kim Kun-hee’s manipulation of public opinion in the presidential primary through this. As it became known that the prosecution would not indict Ms. Kim on suspicion of stock price manipulation at Deutsche Motors, the timing of the recurrence was brought forward by about a month from the original schedule. It is known that the Democratic Party is also considering proposing an impeachment bill against Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office Chief Lee Chang-soo, who acquitted her of suspicions of stock price manipulation and Dior bag receipt.

On the 16th, Kang Yu-jeong, floor spokesperson of the Democratic Party, said, “To restore the truth about the government affairs that Ms. Kim has messed up and the restoration of prosecutorial authority that has become tattered, we will propose the Kim Kun-hee Special Prosecutor Act tomorrow with 13 charges expanded and deepened from the existing 8 suspicions,” adding, “The key is ‘Myung Tae-gyun. He said it was a ‘related suspicion.’ The new special prosecutor’s law covers eight suspicions, including the existing Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation, receipt of Dior bags, suspicion of lobbying for the life of former Marine Corps 1st Division commander Im Seong-geun, suspicion of external pressure on the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission investigation, ‘suspicion of Ms. Kim’s involvement in local and general election nominations’, and ‘illegal investigation through Myung Tae-gyun. ‘Suspicion of Ms. Kim manipulating public opinion during the presidential primary through public opinion polls’ and ‘Suspicion of Mr. Myeong’s manipulation of public opinion polls’ were added as targets of investigation. The prosecution’s ‘suspicion of neglecting Ms. Kim’s investigation’ will also be included in the investigation.

This is the third time that the Kim Geon-hee Special Prosecutor Act, which was abolished twice due to President Yoon Seok-yeol’s exercise of his right to request reconsideration (veto), has been proposed.

Meanwhile, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office reportedly decided on a policy of not indicting Ms. Kim after holding a so-called ‘red team’ meeting for about four hours with the investigation team, deputy chief, and chief prosecutors in attendance.

Yongsan “Mrs. Kim’s private conversation on her brother’s KakaoTalk” Myung Tae-gyun “2,000 pages including public content”

Myung Tae-gyun suggests further revelation of message
Yongsan “I appeased Mrs. Kim because she was criticized by her brother.”
Friend “absurd explanation… “Even if it’s my brother, it’s a problem”
Chin Yoon “It’s a self-harming election show by blaming Mrs. Kim”… The party plans to investigate how the party member list was leaked.

Mrs. Kim and Myung Tae-gyun clash over adoption as witnesses for National Assembly inspection
At the general meeting of the National Assembly Steering Committee held on the 16th, Bae Jun-young (right), senior vice floor leader of the People Power Party, a secretary of the ruling party, protests to Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, chairman of the steering committee, regarding the adoption of witnesses for the National Assembly audit. On this day, the opposition party single-handedly selected first lady Kim Kun-hee, Ms. Kim’s brother Kim Jin-woo, and Myung Tae-gyun, a key figure in suspicion of Ms. Kim’s interference in the general election, as witnesses for the National Assembly’s inspection of the Presidential Secretariat. The People Power Party left in protest against the one-sided proceedings. News 1 The controversy continues over the Presidential Office’s explanation that the ‘brother’ in the KakaoTalk messages exchanged between Ms. Myung Tae-gyun and Ms. Kim, a key figure in the ‘suspicion of interference in nominations’ by Ms. Kim Kun-hee, is her biological brother. On the 16th, the pro-Han Dong-hoon group said, “The explanation from the President’s office is absurd. “The fact that he is her biological brother is also a problem,” he said, targeting the suspicion of a relationship between Ms. Kim and her older brother, Jinwoo Kim, and Mr. Myeong.

Despite this controversy, the Presidential Office’s position is, ‘This is an incident that occurred between Mr. Kim and Mr. Myeong before President Yoon Seok-yeol joined the People Power Party, so what’s the problem?’ However, in a media interview released on this day, Mr. Myung said, “The text messages exchanged with Ms. Kim were not even appetizers. There are 2000 pieces like that. “If we count only the most important ones, there will be over 200 pages,” he said. Regarding the fact that the President’s Office said it was a private conversation, he said, “Let’s make it a public conversation and see if they respond individually.” What happens if you can’t respond? “Then they also lied,” he argued. As Mr. Myung hinted at additional revelations, criticism is growing in the ruling party that the response staff of the President’s Office is being disrupted. Even within the President’s Office, there are voices saying that the President’s Office needs to actively respond to Myung’s claims even after the re-election or by-election in order to prevent further confusion.

● “I tried to appease Myeong, who was upset after hearing something from Mr. Kim.”

The President’s Office has a strong stance, saying, “There is no need to be swayed by political brokers with megalomania who plan elections alone and create political giants.” A high-ranking official from the President’s Office said in a phone call, “I think the KakaoTalk message in which I comforted Myeong, who was upset after hearing some swear words from Ms. Kim’s brother before joining the party, was made public.” Another high-ranking official also explained, “Mr. Myung had a misunderstanding about Ms. Kim’s brother, so Mrs. Kim came forward and explained it.” An official from the Presidential Office said, “Even if Ms. Kim and Mr. Myeong exchanged text messages with each other and were friendly, they did not plan anything politically,” and added, “Whether the published messages were involvement in the primary election or allegations of interference in state affairs, they are far from the essence of the incident.” “It’s far away,” he said.

However, Yongsan’s risk appears to be doubling as Mr. Myung pledges to continue to disclose messages with Ms. Kim. In particular, some point out that the presidential office staff is forced to be on the defensive in a situation where they are unable to understand the specific conversation between Mrs. Kim and Mr. Myung. Another official said, “If the results of the by-election are not good, it is a perfect situation for the ruling party to blame Yongsan on the president, no matter what he does.” He added, “I think we will have to respond in earnest after the election is over.”

● Chin-chan “Why don’t you apologize to the people?” vs. Chin-yoon “It’s a self-harm show”

The close circle took aim at suspicions about the relationship between Mrs. Kim, Mr. Kim, and Mr. Myeong. Shin Ji-ho, Vice President of Strategic Planning of the People Power Party, a close relative, pointed out, “Why is the person who is your brother involved in this situation and why are you meeting Mr. Myeong?” At the same time, “A member of the responsible party, who is a taxi driver, said, ‘Ms. Kim is so good at apologizing to Mr. Myeong, but why doesn’t she properly apologize to the people?’” “Why do you bow down to Mr. Myeong right away and say you will apologize, but then apologize to the people?” “I wonder if there hasn’t been a proper apology yet.” Vice Chancellor Shin also emphasized, “A large-scale political movement is needed to eliminate the old politics prevalent with this type of political broker.”

Supreme Council member Kim Jong-hyuk also said, “Even if it is said that he was his biological brother according to the explanation from the President’s Office, it is difficult to explain and is not clear,” and added, “I wonder if that kind of explanation is really persuasive.” He added, “What will you do if it turns out that it wasn’t an explanation?” He added, “It would mean that the President’s office officially lied, and that could be an even bigger problem.”

The pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Seok-yeol) faction rebelled against the offensive of the pro-friend faction. Former Supreme Council member Jang Ye-chan said, “Currently, the ‘Korean nuclear officials’ (key officials of Han Dong-hoon) are continuing a ‘self-harm show’ that is already detrimental to the election by trying to blame Yongsan and Mrs. Kim.”

The People Power Party is holding a party audit committee as early as the 17th in relation to the suspicion that the Future Korea Institute, which is known to be effectively run by Mr. Myeong, secured a list of 570,000 party members in October 2021 and conducted two unpublished opinion polls on presidential candidates. We plan to begin investigating the truth about how Gu Guo and Myeong obtained the party membership list.
