In the political world, a day before the plenary session of the National Assembly to vote on the first lady Kim Gun-hee's independent counsel law, the level of the opposition's offensive against Myung Tae-kyun is increasing.
The People's Power is focusing on the public opinion battle against the Democratic Party of Korea leader Lee Jae-myung, highlighting his first sentence the day after tomorrow.
I'm connecting with the reporter. Reporter Na Hye-in!
The plenary session will be held tomorrow, and the Democratic Party is focusing on the attack on Kim, right?
[Reporter]
Yes, this morning, the Democratic Party of Korea revealed additional development of Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in the suspicion of Kim's intervention in the nomination.It contains information that
knew in advance the schedule of President Yoon Suk Yeol's visit to the company, which was confidential in the past, and informed the people around him of this information and encouraged him to invest in the company's stock.
In addition, after Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province, was designated as a national industrial complex last year, a recording was released claiming that Myung also influenced the appointment of the head of the relevant institution.
The recent suspicion of Myung's "boarding on the presidential special train" is also taking issue.
Democratic lawmakers of the National Assembly's Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee decided to visit Seoul Station to check the data on the operation of the special train, saying they would verify the testimony that Myung and First Lady Kim Gun-hee were on the special train in the past.
The Democratic Party of Korea is also raising its voice that the nature of the money should be revealed by linking Myung's statement that he received money in the name of transportation expenses from Kim in a prosecution investigation, which is about to be reviewed for an arrest warrant.
A key party official said in a phone call with YTN, "Myeong's exchange of money with Kim shows that the relationship is that close."
He stressed the need to look at what it has to do with the polls conducted by Myung during the last presidential election.
Floor leader Park Chan-dae repeatedly urged the people's power and representative Han Dong-hoon to accept the special prosecution in the morning meeting.
The revision of the special prosecution law prepared by the Democratic Party of Korea is a significant reflection of what the ruling party has been problematic about so far, he said, pressuring the president and his wife to quit their loyalty and follow the public sentiment.

The people's power is focusing on the offensive targeting representative Lee Jae-myung, who is about to be sentenced in the first trial?
[Reporter]
Yes, representative Han Dong-hoon criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's weekend protest on social media, calling it a "judge intimidation demonstration of force."
On Saturday, several universities are scheduled to take essay tests for college entrance, and if you want to protest, don't bother the test takers and do it after the test.
The People's Power said it respects the court's decision not to broadcast Lee Jae-myung's first trial on charges of violating the election law the day after tomorrow, but public interest in the outcome of the trial is growing.
All of the ruling party figures who spoke to our reporters emphasized the unification, saying that now is not the time to put our firepower into the wrong or to fight among ourselves.The temperature gap between representative Han Dong-hoon and pro-Yoon-gye lawmakers, who were exposed to solving the
Kim problem, seems to be sinking below the surface for now.
In a morning MBC radio interview, Supreme Council member Jang Dong-hyuk said that after President Yoon Suk Yeol's statement to the public, the presidential office also needs time to push for change and reform, and that Han seems to be working on a strategy to focus the forces that have been scattered on the offensive.
The ruling party is considering not attending the vote if the Democratic Party of Korea puts Kim's independent counsel law to the plenary session tomorrow.
Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho met with reporters a little while ago and emphasized that he will consistently maintain his position that the Kim Special Counsel Act is anti-constitutional and firmly opposed.
Just before the plenary session, a general meeting of lawmakers will be held to discuss the recommendation of a special inspector proposed by representative Han as a solution to the Kim problem, but there is a possibility that the conflict between the factions will be exposed again depending on the conclusion of the meeting.
I'm Na Hye-in from YTN in the National Assembly.
