The evaluations of former President Moon Jae-in and People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon were mixed regarding the acquittal of Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on charges of perjury in the first trial.
First, former President Moon Jae-in said on his Facebook page, “Thank goodness. “I am relieved,” he said. “The arbitrary and unfair exercise of prosecutorial power has shaken the entire country.”
He added, “Now, please, it’s the people’s livelihood.” Accordingly, some in the ruling party responded that it was absurd for former President Moon, who carries judicial risks for his entire family, to mention the people’s livelihood.
In particular, regarding the part that mentioned unfair prosecutorial power, he made a bitter comment, pointing out that not only former President Moon himself, but also First Lady Kim Jung-sook and her daughter Da-hye are being investigated.
On the other hand, Han Dong-hoon, CEO of the People Power Party, also said on Facebook on the same day, “It is difficult to accept the first trial verdict of not guilty in the first instance of instigation of perjury, which states that only the person who committed perjury is guilty and the person who instigated perjury is not guilty.” “However, he was sentenced to prison on November 15. “Just as I respected it, I also respect today’s ruling,” he said.
Representative Han continued, “I hope the Democratic Party also respects the prison sentence conviction on November 15,” and added, “The more this happens, the more the People Power Party will focus on the people’s livelihood.” “We will clean up the old ways and practice change and innovation,” he pledged.

Meanwhile, Lee Ki-in, a top member of the New Reform Party, who is known as Lee Jae-myung’s sniper, said on Facebook, “Lee Jae-myung’s supporters, they held a loud funeral saying that the judiciary was dead in the Public Officials Election Act trial, but now they are spreading the sophistry that the judiciary is alive, saying that they were found not guilty. “It’s very confusing,” he said, adding, “We are not bitches.”
He added, “I respect the judiciary’s judgment regarding CEO Lee Jae-myung’s charge of perjury,” and added, “However, there are many logics in the ruling that I would like to refute, so I hope the prosecution will prepare for the second trial in detail.”
Earlier, CEO Lee Jae-myung proposed a final discussion on commercial law revision ahead of the trial.
Representative Lee said, “The Democratic Party is trying to revise the director loyalty provisions of the Commercial Act to prevent abuse of management control, such as trick mergers and divisions, which were one of the causes of the fall of the Korean stock market.” “Opposite,” he said.
Representative Lee continued, “Rather than just arguing and fighting with each other on major issues, we should have discussions and say what we have to say to each other, acknowledge what needs to be acknowledged, and come to a reasonable conclusion.” He added, “There are a lot of messages coming from all over regarding the revision of the Commercial Act. “It would be nice if both the pros and cons could come together and have a thorough discussion while the public is watching,” he said.
