Until the last day of the parliamentary audit, the controversy over the poor investigation of Kim Gun-hee, the wife of Yoon Suk Yeol's president, was on the cutting board.Controversy arose over the belated investigation of political broker Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in Kim's 'suspicious nomination intervention'



Last year, a related case was filed with the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office, but it was left to the investigation department without a prosecutor for a while and was only recently assigned to the criminal department.
