Ahead of the Yoon Suk Yeol President's statement to the public tomorrow, various arguments are flowing out calling for a solution to the reform of state affairs.
Senior members of the people's power agreed that it should be an opportunity for change and reform, and the Democratic Party of Korea pressed Kim Gun-hee to accept the Special Prosecutor Act.

Please tell us more about the mood within the ruling camp ahead of the presidential speech!
[Reporter]
Yes, first of all, Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People's Power, has been meeting senior lawmakers one after another since 2 p.m.
The party's press service said in a notice after a meeting of lawmakers for the 5th and 6th term that they expected the presidential statement tomorrow to be an opportunity for change and reform with a humble attitude to the people.
However, close alumni are reiterating the need for "personal reform" in one voice.
Lawmaker Cho Kyung-tae told reporters after the senior meeting that the anger of the public should be considered, and stressed that the personnel reform should be made and the contents of the Kim investigation should be included in the statement.
[Cho Kyung-tae / People's Power: At least our senior lawmakers have long been supported by many people and citizens, so let's not look at Yongsan but look at the people.]
On the other hand, pro-Yoon-gye lawmakers emphasized that the fact that the press conference will take place without a theme or time limit shows President Yoon's willingness to reform.
Rep. Na Kyung-won also met with reporters after the senior meeting and said it is not appropriate to talk about the discourse now, and this is the president's time.

In the party, there is a war of nerves over the fact that floor leader Choo Kyung-ho met with President Yoon earlier and asked him to advance the schedule of the statement.
In a phone call with YTN, a close-knit official said Choo did not inform Representative Han Dong-hoon that he had met with President Yoon at all, adding, "It was clearly his fault."
On the other hand, Rep. Lee Chul-kyu, a member of the pro-Yoon-gye, pointed out in a radio interview that it is not the time to show conflict and division, referring to the Go term, "Asaeng Yeonhu Salta," in which he should buy himself first and then go to catch his opponent.
However, floor leader Choo said he had no "unconvenient atmosphere" with representative Han and dismissed that he would always discuss it together.

The Democratic Party is pressuring the president to include stronger reform measures, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party of Korea argues that the personnel reform mentioned earlier is a natural story, and that "acceptance of the Special Prosecutor Act by First Lady Kim Gun-hee" is the minimum condition.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Supreme Council, said at the Supreme Council that if the president does not accept the special prosecution, it is only the second part of the so-called "dog apple" that caused controversy by posting photos of his dog and fruit on social media in the past.He sarcastically said that it might be a "damwa" that means that the people will come to the wall, not
, and demanded that he directly express that he would be punished if the crime was confirmed after being investigated for various suspicions.
Representative Lee Jae-myung also said he looks forward to touching his hurt heart and expressing a valid position at the public's level.

In the midst of this, there is a dispute between the ruling and opposition parties over the argument that the first trial of Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung should be broadcast live?
[Reporter]
The power of the four people is insisting every day that the first trial sentence of representative Lee Jae-myung should be broadcast live on TV for the people's right to know.
Rep. Lee Chul-kyu mentioned in a radio interview that the trials of former presidents were broadcast live, and pointed out that the opposition party, which demanded the disclosure at the time, is now "innerly fighting."
Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the large opposition party, said he has a lot of influence and much higher public interest, and said that if they feel unfair due to political prosecution, the unfairness must be resolved only when it is disclosed.
[Lee Chul-kyu / The People's Power (KBS Radio 'Absolutely Furious)' : Since it was unfairly prosecuted, the injustice will be resolved when the public sees the ruling and the ruling publicly. I think the trial should be made public.
On the other hand, the Democratic Party criticized the ruling party for threatening the judiciary over the opposition party, and countered that the request for the live broadcast of Lee's sentence was a threat to the judiciary.
Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Supreme Council, said at the Supreme Council that even elementary school students know that the demand for live broadcasting is an impure intention to stigmatize the leader of the first opposition party and put psychological pressure on the court.
[Park Chan-dae/ Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: People claim that Lee Jae-myung's petition for innocence is a threat to the judiciary, but isn't it a real threat to the judiciary to ask for a live broadcast of the judiciary's ruling?]
Then, if the people's power really values the people's right to know, they said they would like to stop threatening the judiciary and accept the special prosecutor Kim, who the people want, to receive a live broadcast of the special prosecutor's investigation.
