Hong Ik-pyo, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said regarding the party membership of Mr. Kim, who attacked Representative Lee Jae-myung with a weapon on the 4th, “Party membership is not the essence of the case.” On this day, floor leader Hong said on MBC radio’s ‘Kim Jong-bae’s Focus’, “The suspect’s party affiliation is strangely controversial,” and “Political terrorism is also a means to use for the interests of their political faction.”
Floor Leader Hong said, “For example, some inappropriate and extreme conservative YouTubers say that if the criminal is a member of the Democratic Party, it is as if it was the Democratic Party’s own play and that Representative Lee Jae-myung deliberately planned it.” He also said, “On the contrary, the extreme people on our side are using Mr. Kim’s party affiliation to create the prejudice that this is a planned terrorist attack by falsely joining our party at the instigation of the People Power Party and that there is a very great mastermind behind it.” He said.
Previously, CEO Lee was attacked by Mr. Kim in Busan on the 2nd. He was transported by helicopter from Busan to Seoul National University Hospital, where he received treatment and is recovering. It is reported that Mr. Kim was a member of the People Power Party but switched his membership to the Democratic Party. The idea is that there is a need for restraint in response to the conspiracy theories raised by extreme conservative and progressive forces regarding his party affiliation.
Representative Hong said, “Depending on the results of the investigation, it is necessary for the investigative agency to quickly clarify issues such as whether there is a mastermind, if there is a mastermind, and if it is a solo crime, whether it is a solo crime, etc.” He said, “It seems that the investigative authorities requested the secretariat of each party to confirm party membership yesterday,” and “The investigative authorities collectively announced issues related to this person’s personal history and party affiliation, and then the person’s political behavior and affiliations, etc.” “I think it’s the right thing to do,” he said.
