The parliamentary audit, which the National Assembly checks the overall state affairs, is in its second week from today, effectively entering a "middle reversal."

This week, the ruling and opposition parties are expected to fight fiercely over the suspicion of Kim Gun-hee and the judicial risks of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's the National Assembly.

Please summarize the main issues of today's parliamentary audit.

[Reporter]
Yes, the most notable thing today is the National Audit of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee's Ministry of Government Legislation and the Criminal Investigation Department of high-ranking government officials.

In particular, the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit is currently investigating allegations of external pressure in the investigation of Chae Sang-byung's death and intervention in the nomination of Kim Gun-hee.

The opposition party, which has adopted a large number of people involved as witnesses, is determined to ask about the possibility of Kim's involvement.

In the parliamentary inspection of the Public Administration and Security Committee targeting the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency, the ruling party, the People's Power, plans to raise the level of the offensive with the suspicion of representative Lee Jae-myung.

Representative Lee's suspicion that he gave preferential treatment to KonaI, a local currency management company, when he was governor of Gyeonggi-do Province, and the suspicion of private use of corporate cards are representative.

However, as a large number of key witnesses are expected to be absent from the two standing committees, there are concerns that it will end up as a battle between the ruling and opposition parties rather than revealing new facts.

In addition, the Ministry of Science and ICT will conduct audits on MBC, KBS, and EBS, and the Sanjawi National Assembly is expected to ask questions about the East Sea gas field project.

This time, let's look at the news of the people's power.

The controversy is growing over CEO Han Dong-hoon's remarks that "the president's office needs to overhaul its personnel to dispel concerns about First Lady Kim Gun-hee," right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the general analysis is that representative Han Dong-hoon's remarks that the president's office needs to overhaul its personnel are aimed at the suspicion that there is a so-called "Kim Gun-hee" line.

Representative Han believes that they are distorting public opinion to Mrs. Kim and negatively affecting the direction of state administration, but he publicly mentioned the issue again today.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: (Kim Gun-hee) is not a person with public status. I don't think the fact that the public misunderstands that such a line exists and thinks it's a given in the media doesn't help trust in state affairs.]

The pro-Yoon Seok-yeol faction strongly criticizes the ruling party's leader for attacking the president and violating the president's own authority, personnel rights.

Rep. Kwon Sung-dong, a pro-Yoon-gye lawmaker, said in a phone call with YTN that he even misunderstood whether Han is the leader of the ruling party or the leader of the Democratic Party these days,
He pointed out that it is not a true leader to push the president to blame both the government and the ruling party's poor approval ratings without reflecting on misleading the
party.

On the other hand, the close circle supported Han, saying the presidential office should actively explain the suspicions of secret elections.

Rep. Park Jung-hoon said in a radio interview that it is undeniable that the people feel tired of the government's way of running state affairs, and that it should be used as an opportunity for overall innovation.

In the midst of this, President Yoon and Representative Han are said to have a solo meeting early next week, and attention is being paid to what kind of stories will be exchanged at this meeting.

This time, let's move on to the controversy of Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in the so-called "intervention in the nomination."


has been claiming that he led the election process of several ruling party figures, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Myung Tae-kyun gave a relatively detailed explanation of the last presidential election process and his influence in a CBS radio interview this morning.

After the presidential election, Mrs. Kim asked her to go to Cheong Wa Dae with her, but she refused,

He also claimed that President Yoon received phone calls every day from President Yoon and his wife for six months from before joining the People's Power to winning the primary.

However, he did not specify his role in the last presidential election, but he raised his voice that he would be overturned if he talked about the presidential election.

During the presidential election, he denied that he did not know about the alleged leakage of the list of members of the People's Power Party, only connecting the candidate camp of the Hong Joon Pyo and the polling company at the time.

As suspicions of intervention in the nomination spread day after day, the opposition party urged President Yoon to explain, saying it could be a reason for "impeachment."

Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said at a meeting of the top committee that President Yoon is the biggest beneficiary of the poll conducted by Myung, stressing that the facts must be revealed through an investigation.

However, all the ruling party figures whose names were mentioned in connection with the suspicion of Myung are actively denying it, saying it is not true.

Both Kim Jong-in, former chairman of the emergency committee, and Lee Joon-seok of the New Reform Party drew the line that there was no intervention by Myung during the presidential election process,
Daegu Mayor Kim ∀ and Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon also dismissed Myung for not knowing him and receiving political advice.

So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
