With the parliamentary audit entering its second week, the focus of the ruling and opposition parties is on the suspicion of Kim Gun-hee and the judicial risks of Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party.

The opposition party argued that if the suspicion of "intervention in the nomination" is true, the election of the president of Yoon Suk Yeol will be nullified, and the ruling party set the day that the special prosecution promoted by the opposition party is for Lee's bulletproof purposes.

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

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

[Reporter]
Yes, the most notable place today is the National Audit Office of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee.

Opposition members criticized Yoon Suk Yeol's repeated exercise of veto power against Lee Wan-kyu, the head of the Legislative Office, and argued that a special investigation into Kim Gun-hee's allegations is needed.

In particular, he asked if the president is right to refuse an independent counsel related to him or his family at a time when allegations of "intervention in the nomination" have recently been raised with Myung Tae-kyun in the ruling party.

[Seo Young-kyo / Minjoo Party member: The president asked (Myeong Tae-kyun) for such a poll. That's why he went with me every day to report it. It's illegal, so the election is invalid. So I'm going to put it in the special prosecutor's office in this regard and investigate it, but is it the veto power, the president's own authority?]

On the other hand, the People's Power countered that the repeated veto was due to the opposition's unilateral enforcement of the unconstitutional bill.

In addition, the Democratic Party's permanent special prosecution on Kim's allegations is unconstitutional, pointing out that the opposition party's offensive is intended to protect Lee from judicial risks.

[Park Jun-tae / People's Power: The opposition party has used all the policy tools of the National Assembly to bulletproof the party leader. We have proposed a number of special prosecution bills for the president and the first lady. In short, it's a private abuse of legislative power. This is not how the people gave them that great power.

A similar battle continued in the National Assembly Audit of Gyeonggi-do Province by the Public Administration and Security Committee.

The ruling party focused on allegations that Lee Jae-myung gave preferential treatment to KonaI, a local currency management company, when he was governor of Gyeonggi Province,

The opposition party summoned the suspicion of changing the end point of Yangpyeong Expressway and countered that it was to give preferential treatment to the Kim family.

In the afternoon, the Judiciary Committee and the Administrative Security Committee will continue to audit the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit and the Gyeonggi Southern Police Agency, respectively.

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, in a CBS radio interview this morning, Myung Tae-kyun explained his influence during the presidential election and his friendship with President Yoon and his wife in relative detail.

President Yoon also claimed to have received daily calls 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.

[Myeong Tae-kyun/(CBS Radio 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show'): After the presidential election, the first lady asked me to go to Cheong Wa Dae without knowing how much she wanted to go to Yongsan, but I won't go. What I said is, it turns the world upside down again.]

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.

Daegu Mayor Kim Hong Joon Pyo also urged an early investigation into Myung, saying that during the presidential primary, Myung's side was manipulating public opinion by sticking to the candidate's side at the time of the Yoon Suk Yeol.

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