The Democratic Party of Korea, which launched a general offensive against the ruling party after disclosing a recording of the phone call between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun, is preparing for a large-scale outdoor rally today calling for the independent counsel Kim Gun-hee.

Amid the deepening struggles of the ruling camp on the defensive, President Yoon is likely to miss the National Assembly's budget speech scheduled the day after tomorrow.

The opposition rally will be held this afternoon, right?

[Reporter]
It will be held around Seoul Station from 2 p.m.

The official name of the rally was National Action Day, which condemns the Yoon Suk Yeol President and his wife's manipulation of state affairs and calls for a special prosecution.

All the leaders of the Democratic Party, including Chairman Lee Jae-myung, attended the event, and all of their lawmakers, regional chairmen, party members, and supporters were ordered to mobilize.

Initially, the rally was designed to condemn various suspicions surrounding Kim Gun-hee, including the Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation case.

However, after disclosing the phone recording with Myung Tae-kyun, which caused suspicions of President Yoon's involvement in the nomination on the day before yesterday, the focus seems to have shifted to allegations of manipulation of state affairs by the president and his wife.

Spokesman Hwang Jung-ah said that the presidential office is consistent with brazen sophistry that there is no legal or common sense problem, even though the presidential office has been disclosed to foster the president, which is contrary to the previous explanation that he had cut ties with Myung since the presidential election.

The party leadership is distanced, but there are also voices within the Democratic Party calling for the president to step down as president or for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term.

Representative Lee Jae-myung encouraged the participation of the rally on social media, saying that the power to reestablish the collapsed hope lies with the acting sovereign.

The People's Power defined today's Democratic Party rally as a customized bulletproof rally for representative Lee Jae-myung ahead of the first trial this month.

Floor spokesman Park Joon-tae said that the Democratic Party was immersed in sedition politics by calling for impeachment, martial law, and resignation until the last day of the parliamentary audit, arguing that all activities of the party are geared toward the impeachment of the president and that the purpose is Lee's judicial risk bulletproof.

However, internally, it can be seen that the opposition party is in trouble.

With representative Han Dong-hoon continuing his silence, floor leader Choo Kyung-ho will visit Daegu and Gyeongbuk today to meet with party members.

As the approval rating of the state administration has recently fallen to the lowest level in TK, the party's traditional strong region, it seems to have started to settle the situation.

A key party official told YTN on the phone that for now, we have no choice but to watch the development of public opinion.

Yoon says there is no legal problem with the recording of the phone call, but public perception is not that, he said, adding that a moral and political approach is important.

In the same vein, he also expressed his discontent towards Presidential Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk, who explained at the parliamentary inspection of the presidential office yesterday that there was no problem legally or in common sense.

The people criticized that the attitude of moving on was wrong because there was no legal problem, saying that they did not choose the prosecutor general or the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk told the parliamentary inspection yesterday that there will be some form of expression of President Yoon's position within this month.

However, he said he understood that Prime Minister Han Deok-soo will replace next year's budget plan, which is scheduled at the National Assembly the day after tomorrow.

The details of the phone call with Myung Tae-kyun are released, and the ruling and opposition parties seem to consider the situation of continuing an extreme confrontation over the special prosecution.President

Yoon did not attend the opening ceremony of the 22nd National Assembly in September, which would be the first time in 11 years since 2013 if he did not deliver a speech on this year's budget.
