The day after President Yoon Suk Yeol's press conference.

Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in this case, will appear at the prosecution as a suspect.

The first thing the prosecution will check is whether it violates the Political Fund Act and suspicions of nomination for a price.The key point of the suspicion is that

conducted 81 free polls for then-candidate Kim Yoon Suk Yeol in the presidential election two years ago, and instead of receiving 370 million won in expenses, former lawmaker Kim Young-sun was nominated.

Former lawmaker Kim was elected by the People's Power in a parliamentary by-election in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province.

Since then, Myung has also been accused of receiving about 90 million won from former lawmaker Kim.

Kang Hye-kyung, the former accounting manager of former lawmaker Kim, raised suspicions that Kim Gun-hee was involved in the nomination process with what she revealed in the National Assembly's parliamentary audit and prosecution investigation.

[Kang Hye-kyung / (National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee on the 21st of last month): (So you've been nominated by Kim Young-sun instead of 370 million won?) Yes, that's right. (Who gave Kim Young-sun the nomination?) First lady Kim Gun-hee gave it to me....]

{Myeong's lawyer said that Myung had never reported the results of a poll by the Future Korea Research Institute to the then-candidate Yoon or the campaign.

In addition, all money transactions discussed other than the 60 million won that Kang lent and returned are irrelevant to Myung.

The prosecution should also investigate allegations that Myung was involved in the designation of Changwon's second national industrial complex.It is also suspected that

received confidential information from Changwon City and encouraged acquaintances to purchase the surrounding land.

To confirm this, the prosecution notified former and current officials in charge of Changwon City of their attendance as a reference.


also expressed his feelings on his SNS account, saying, "I apologize to those who were hurt by his humble words and actions," ahead of the first summons as a suspect.

The prosecution has increased the number of prosecutors to 11 on two occasions, reinforcing it to the level of a special investigation team.

Attention is focusing on what conclusions will be made on various suspicions.
