On the 13th, the Democratic Party of Korea released a recording of a phone call in June 2022 showing that Myung Tae-gyun knew in advance about President Yoon Seok-yeol’s visit to the Doosan Energy Changwon factory in Gyeongsangnam-do. The president’s schedule is confidential for security reasons.

The call recording released by the Democratic Party on this day contains the news that on June 20, 2022, Mr. Myung conveyed the news to Kang Hye-kyung, former People Power Party lawmaker Kim Young-sun’s accounting manager, that President Yoon plans to visit Doosan Energy’s Changwon factory. Mr. Myeong told Mr. Kang, “You can’t tell anyone that the President is coming,” and “If the President’s schedule is made public, that too will be subject to the law.”

Mr. Myeong went on to explain that Gyeongsangnam-do Governor Park Wan-soo informed him of President Yoon’s plan to visit the factory and said, “I received a call from the governor saying that the President would come down between the 22nd and the 25th.” In fact, President Yoon visited Doosan Energy’s Changwon factory on June 22, two days after the phone call between Myeong and Kang.

The call recording also contains circumstances where Mr. Myeong recommended investment to those around him, saying that related stocks would rise following President Yoon’s visit to Doosan Energy’s Changwon factory. Mr. Myeong said to Mr. Kang, “You know what I mean. “If you just hold on to that, regardless of whether it comes or not, it will end up costing 60,000 to 70,000 won,” he said. “My brother also borrows money like me, so one person has to pay it back in one week. “Do you understand?” he said.

In another phone call recording released by the Democratic Party on this day, Mr. Myung said to an anonymous acquaintance in July 2022, “You should leave that (Doosan Energy) alone. Isn’t that what I said? It takes at least 2 years. If you leave it as if it were savings, you will get 70,000 won or 80,000 won, no matter how much you can’t do it. No, it has to happen that way, now.”

The Democratic Party responded to an acquaintance’s request to “tell me about other stocks to invest in related to the President’s schedule,” to which Mr. Myeong responded, “I would be thrilled.” “Okay, anyway, let’s think about it, let’s think about it,” he explained.

The Democratic Party also released a recording of a phone call in which Myung boasted that he had influenced the appointment of heads of organizations related to Gyeongsangnam-do. Mr. Myeong told Mr. Kang on June 13, 2023 that he had recommended Mr. A to Governor Park as the director of Gyeongnam Techno Park in Changwon-si, Gyeongsangnam-do.

In a phone call with Mr. Kang, he said, “The Gyeongnam Techno Park has just been announced,” and “A Do you know that I (recommended) you? “The position of Gyeongnam Techno Park is much higher than that of the Changwon Industry Promotion Agency,” he said.

Mr. Myeong then mentioned Director Jang Dong-hwa, who was inaugurated as the director of the Changwon Industry Promotion Agency in April 2023, and said, “I asked Jang Dong-hwa and Kim Young-sun,” and added, “But that is something I am talking about with the governor and has no influence on Kim Young-sun.” .

He continued, “Why would I get a meal from A? “I bought the food yesterday, but he came saying he was unemployed.” However, the Democratic Party explained that Mr. A was ultimately eliminated.
