Kim Tae-yeol said, "Prosecution humbly accepted..."The President and his wife should be investigated."

Kim Tae-yeol, director of the Future Korea Research Institute, who was put on trial along with Myung Tae-kyun, said that the Yoon Suk Yeol President and his wife should be investigated.

The lawyers said they believe the prosecution has decided that Kim needs to be punished, adding that among the five indicted this time, Myung and others brazenly deny the charges, but the prosecution has taken a step further toward the truth.

"The nature of the case is election and primary manipulation through poll and manipulation," he said. "Investigation and punishment of many politicians involved, including President Yoon and his wife, should be followed."

Director Kim also added that he humbly accepts the indictment and is in a position to help the prosecution reveal the truth as a public interest reporter.
