In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea revealed the fostering of the currency exchanged between Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in the alleged intervention of Kim Gun-hee's nomination, and President Yoon Suk Yeol.

In the meantime, there has been only a message, but it is the first time that the phone conversation between Myung Tae-kyun and President Yoon Suk Yeol has been known.

Please tell us specifically what stories have been told.

[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party held an emergency press conference about an hour ago and released a recording of the call between Myung Tae-kyun and President Yoon, a key figure in the alleged intervention of Kim Gun-hee's nomination.

Call time was in May ahead of 2022 by-elections,

President Yoon brought it up to him by the Nomination Management Committee without specifying the target to Myung, so let's hear the remarks.

[Kim Yoon Suk Yeol / President (May 9, 2022): I've been running hard since the election, so I asked him to do it, but he's talking a lot.]

[Myeong Tae-gyun (last May 9, 2022): I will never forget your kindness. Thank you.]

The call was made ahead of the May 9, 2022 by-elections, the DP claimed.

In fact, the Democratic Party pointed out that the nomination was made on May 10, the next day, and that President Yoon had Myung nominate Kim Young-sun, a former member of the People's Power.

is said to have told this since former lawmaker Kim was elected in the by-elections at the time, showing off his contribution to the nomination.

Recordings of phone calls between Kang and Myung have been made public, but this is the first time that President Yoon's voice has been disclosed, so it is expected to have a ripple effect.

Kang Hye-kyung, who was Kim's accounting manager, has claimed that Kim won the nomination in return for "illegal polling" on then-candidate Yoon Suk Yeol during the last presidential election,

acknowledged that former lawmaker Kim paid for part of the poll, but denied that it was true that it was the price of the nomination.

I'll also look into the situation of each party.

The ruling party seems to be speeding up its push for a proposed special inspector to resolve the controversy over First Lady Kim Gun-hee?

[Reporter]
Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the People's Power, who emphasized the implementation of special inspectors to manage the president's relatives and aides at a press conference on the 100th day of his inauguration yesterday (30th), mentioned the issue of special inspection again today.Representative

Hahn stressed at the morning meeting that the Special Inspector General is a system that focuses on preventing and auditing future misconduct rather than past misconduct.

The government and the ruling party explained that the remaining two and a half years of negative issues require the appointment of a special inspector to defend the Democratic Party's excessive and excessive offensive and to focus on the people's livelihood.

As he said yesterday (31st) that he would boldly present a solution to the problem that the public is concerned about within November, it is interpreted as his willingness to proceed with the process in a hurry.

Some predict that a general meeting of lawmakers will be held to discuss the special inspection issue in earnest after the parliamentary audit is over tomorrow.

In a call with YTN, a key floor official explained, "However, since disagreements can be greatly highlighted in the parliamentary meeting, it seems that internally organizing work should be prioritized."

In particular, the special inspection issue needs to be coordinated with the president's office, so the party said it is unlikely that a parliamentary gun will be caught immediately.

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho will hold a closed-door meeting with senior lawmakers over four terms in the future over pending political issues, where the special inspection issue is expected to be on the table as a key agenda.

The Democratic Party of Korea scheduled a standing committee today to push for the permanent special prosecution of First Lady Kim Gun-hee?

[Reporter]
Yes, the plenary session of the National Assembly Steering Committee is being held today,

The Democratic Party is expected to deal with the revision of the rules of the permanent special prosecution with a large number of seats.

The amendment excludes the ruling party's right to recommend a permanent special prosecutor if the president or the president's family is subject to investigation.

The Democratic Party plans to deal with the amendment at the plenary session on the 14th of next month, but since the president cannot exercise his right to demand reconsideration, it is expected to be implemented after the plenary session passes.

The ruling party is protesting against the separation of powers by excluding the president's right to appoint a special prosecutor as it can conduct a permanent special prosecution as the opposition party likes.

The Democratic Party will also attempt to vote on a bill today to prevent next year's budget from being automatically submitted to the plenary session even after the legal deadline for budget review.

Again, the ruling party made it clear that the Democratic Party will hold and shake the government's budget bill, and that if the bill is passed, it will propose the right to request a presidential reconsideration.

In addition, the National Assembly Steering Committee will conduct a parliamentary audit of the National Human Rights Commission of Korea and the National Assembly Secretariat.

This is YTN Jeong Yong-yong in the National Assembly so far.
