[YTN Radio <News Fighting, Bae Seunghee]> Please reveal that it's about the interview.

◆ Attorney Bae Seung-hee (hereinafter referred to as Bae Seung-hee): I'm Bae Seung-hee from News Fighting. The third part starts. President Yoon and representative Han Dong-hoon are expected to meet in person early next week. In this solo meeting, the risk resolution plan for First Lady Kim Gun-hee is likely to be on the table theme. In this regard, I will connect with Park Sang-soo, spokesman for the People's Power, to hear more about it. Are you here?

◇Park Sang-soo, spokesperson for the People's Power (hereinafter, Park Sang-soo): Yes, hello.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Yes, hello. I think CEO Han Dong-hoon is raising his voice on the issue of Kim Gun-hee. Yesterday, she said that the First Lady Kim Gun-hee line should not exist. What line does the representative Kim Gun-hee's line mean?

◇Park Sang-soo: Well, this is the first time the word Kim Gun-hee has appeared in Kim Dae-nam's transcript. If you look at Kim Dae-nam's transcript, the expression "Sipsangsi" appears, and then all the older people say, "It's my face." In fact, if it wasn't for Kim Dae-nam's transcript, there's no reason for these words to come out in the world. However, since Kim Dae-nam's transcript has already started to raise suspicions, representative Han Dong-hoon can ask the president's office to clarify this with the current by-election ahead. Isn't the party currently investigating the case related to Kim Dae-nam's transcript or the case related to Kim Dae-nam? That's why I talked about it in that part, but I don't think it's a story that can be interpreted that broadly.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: But some say that because he is the leader of the ruling party, he can talk to reporters about whether he can talk to the president without making any public comments. What's the point of this?

◇Park Sang-soo: I'm sure there could be such a point, but isn't this a by-election period? And everyone knows that the situation in Busan is very close right now. But when I go to the region and do activities, most of the stories are at the top of the region and I talk about them on the spot. The reason is that if you go to the region and talk like this, voters who are disappointed in our party will continue to move on to the Democratic Party. But in the last general election, we were able to maintain 108 seats while protecting the Nakdonggang River belt in Busan. However, at the end of the general election, I ran and was investigated by the Yeouido Institute, but at the end of the general election, I received a 14-0 loss in the case of Incheon. A week ago at Yeouido Research Institute, we won 108 seats and 109 seats, and what it was like to have 180 seats over there in the last general election was that we won the vice seat in Incheon. But the fact that we received 14 seats a week ago means that we will lose 100 seats. I heard later that the situation was actually like that. At the end, CEO Han Dong-hoon talked about the Ijo referee theory, asked for a chance, and went around the town hall, and this is what we recovered from the Nakdonggang River belt. That's why I recovered 108 seats, but the current situation is the same, so it contains a story that tells us not to go to the Democratic Party but to give our party another chance because I will talk to the president's office.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: You said you were investigated by Yeouido researcher in the general election. Now, it seems to mean a poll, but some people said that the poll was not shared with the candidates for the general election at the time, but did you receive it?

◇Park Sang-soo: They didn't give it to the Seoul Metropolitan Government or the Gyeonggi Provincial Government anymore. But Incheon City Hall gave it to all 14 people. On that day, the Incheon Metropolitan City Hall called all 14 candidates who received the call to the Incheon Metropolitan City Hall and they were all in a panic. It was just a week ago. I remember that the Incheon Metropolitan Government only sent it to the candidates through Kakao Talk. So I called the candidates, and they said that even Bae Joon-young would be eliminated.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: That's what happened. I also wonder why they didn't give it to Seoul and Gyeonggi.

◇Park Sang-soo: I think the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Gyeonggi Provincial Government made the decision. The situation was so bad, but when I came to the Supreme Council when representative Han Dong-hoon was chairman, the Incheon Metropolitan City Party said, "When I saw the Incheon poll, I gave up Incheon." Then, Bae Joon-young, chairman of the Incheon Metropolitan City Party, vowed to give us the research conducted by the Yeouido Institute soon. Maybe that's why the Supreme Council sent it to me in person a week ago. So we just got it all. We got it in Incheon.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: I see. I see. I heard that there will be a white paper for the general election, but will it come out soon?

◇Park Sang-soo: Won't it come out? It's said that it went up to the Supreme Council, but I think this will come out.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: I think representative Han Dong-hoon said, "I'm asking for an apology because I went into the by-elections and pointed out Kim Gun-hee again. I think he said this again yesterday." Mrs. Kim is engaged in inappropriate political activities beyond the scope of her duties. I criticized him like this. What inappropriate political action does this mean?

◇Park Sang-soo: So, since it's a by-election season, it's necessary to preemptively defend against suspicions and problems that arise in those areas, but in fact, all of these started with the recording of Kim Dae-nam, the administrator. So, the administrator who worked inside the presidential office inside Yongsan did that and said those things, and Kim Dae-nam went to such a good position to say, "What power does the administrator have?" As we all know, didn't we go to the position where we get Genesis as an official car for 300 million a year? If it was a role that didn't mean much and it didn't mean much, there's no reason to go to such a position. I think you can accept the allegations that you are doing something inappropriate about these parts. These are the transcripts of Kim Dae-nam and Myung Tae-kyun who don't even want to say their names, so I think you can accept that they are saying these things preemptively. in the run-up to the election

◆ Bae Seung-Hee: Anyway, Kim Dae-nam, how should I say about the president when he failed the nomination? It came out in the process of criticizing, but you're saying that Kim Gun-hee did what Kim Dae-nam went to as an auditor, and it's not connected like this, right?

◇Park Sang-soo: So even the female handbag case that criticized us like that and put us in trouble. This is really just the main subject of the Kim Gun-hee Special Prosecutor Act. I contacted the media that caused this and complained that the general election fell, but suddenly I went to such a place of appreciation again. We don't even know who recommended it, so we're doing an investigation, but isn't the story spreading right now? So, from the party's point of view, we need to hold a by-election. In fact, we wanted to talk about these things to the president's office at the last dinner, so we went to dinner early, stayed late, and tried to have a solo meeting with the president. He didn't even give us that opportunity, had dinner with floor leader Choo Kyung-ho, and then Kim Dae-nam and Myung Tae-kyun were recorded one after another. But now that we have to hold a by-election, and we are in a situation where we are really beleaguered, we need to calm the public's sentiment by talking like that. Now

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Yes. Representative Kwon Sung-dong said this to the party leader. Using the expression "It's a thin political engineering," he criticized the staff reform first. How did you hear it when Kwon Sung-dong and a senior lawmaker within the party?

◇Park Sang-soo: Even though Rep. Kwon Sung-dong is a very multi-term lawmaker related to the espionage case, he persistently attacked the Democratic Party of Korea in that area, opening a way for our party. In fact, the Democratic Party of Korea has nothing to talk about the special prosecutor Coporal Chae since the espionage case came out. I'm a very reliable ally of our party, and I think it's a real senior and resource, but it's a Dogok-dong 7-member association that doesn't even exist in an issue that can be done by putting your shoulders on the line. What is it called in Yongsan? What is Hannam-dong? CEO Han Dong-hoon said about it yesterday. As soon as I got a question from the press, I said, "I've never heard of this before." Didn't I draw the line? But do we need to match the seven-letter line and do that? We all know that the party is in a very difficult situation in the situation where we are moving forward together and in the by-election situation. That's why I hope it's a perfect match, but don't you think that there's only a lot of discord because there's a thud over there? So I think that's a bit disappointing.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: But if you listen to what you said. CEO Han Dong-hoon is not responsible at all. I think that's what you mean. Some point out that the ruling party's leader should try hard while sealing this issue, and how long will he communicate with reporters like this? Isn't it not only Rep. Kwon Sung-dong who did something wrong? Rep. Kwon Sung-dong didn't attack first.

◇Park Sang-soo: As I said earlier, I'm a little disappointed that if we had a solo meeting at the last dinner, a lot of problems would have been solved naturally. I've been waiting for that, and I've been waiting for it while working within the party, but since then, Kim Dae-nam and Myung Tae-kyun have exploded, and there's no proper explanation coming out, but aren't they just falling into suspicion at a time when they're not giving out any proper evidence? Then, at least the party leader has no choice but to appeal a little strongly and leave. There may certainly be criticism that such points are rough in terms of not being coordinated in advance, but if they don't, they keep drying up their intentions. What happens to us is that if we give the impression that we are defending, we seem to hide something, and if we give the impression that we are hiding something, we will have more suspicions from the people's point of view. So I think it would be better to make a judgment on that in consideration of the election. If the election is over well, then the presidential office and the party leader will meet and put their heads together to solve the problem wisely.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Are you saying that Representative Kwon Sung-dong's criticism is not the responsibility of Representative Han Dong-hoon?

◇Park Sang-soo: Rather than representative Han Dong-hoon's responsibility, I'm saying that I want lawmaker Kwon Sung-dong to work with me like this.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Okay. This time. Let me talk about the second annex. I have to make a second annex. Many people are talking about this, but the president's office has actually started to set up a second annex. Will this risk be reduced if a second annex is installed?

◇Park Sang-soo: It's important to make the people feel that way. So if you look at CEO Han Dong-hoon, if you look from the side, he responds a little faster to the public. It's fast, but if you do it a little faster, the people do it while being moved. But the presidential office feels a little late. So, don't you feel like the people are holding out and now they're doing it? But if you look at it now, I don't know what else will happen in the future, but if you ask us to apologize to each of those suspicions, we'll endure this, so I don't want you to apologize. I don't think that's true, but I think it's right to calm down a little by looking at the president's office through actions such as setting up a second annex or showing restraint in activities. I think it is a common opinion of our party that the president succeeds in our party now and that the president does not get caught up in these things. However, CEO Han Dong-hoon is a little faster in this methodology. It's fast. Definitely

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Do you mean fast is one step ahead?

◇Park Sang-soo: That's why I'm asking the people to respond faster and do something that meets that. But now, I don't know about other times, but now I want you to listen to CEO Han Dong-hoon. Because we expect that the people will sink in only if we show a preemptive move.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: You're one step fast. Then I think you're saying follow the president's office.

◇Park Sang-soo: That's why I hope we can live up to it together. There's no reason for the government and the government to go separately, right? We're in a crisis now.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: If you hit your feet, the person who walks out quickly will hit the slow one, right? I think it's usually like that, rather than saying, 'Walk a slow person quickly.'

◇Park Sang-soo: That's right, but I don't have much time right now. There are new recordings and new testimonies every day, and honestly, it's hard for me to explain this to the reporters and respond to them because I'm standing in the spokesperson line. In fact, new things come out every morning.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: May I ask you something about Myung Tae-kyun? Myung Tae-gyun said yesterday, 'Han Dong-hoon is Kagemusha. ’ I mentioned CEO Han Dong-hoon like this. This is the first time Myung has made a statement about CEO Lee Han Dong-hoon, how should I interpret this?

◇Park Sang-soo: I don't know. I think the expression "Kagemusha" is just an abstract expression, but I searched for it. Then, in the past, there was a phrase that described our prime minister as Kagemusha in Hankyoreh. So I was like, "What did you write about this?" I think you can leave it because there's a lot of random stuff going on here and there. There's something on News Tomato this morning, so I was reading it right before I came in. Take a look later. I saw it right before, too. I think I'll have to keep talking to reporters because of this today.

◆Bae Seung-Hee: But I think we can leave the fact that Lee Myung-Tae-kyun talked about CEO Han Dong-hoon because it's a random accident anyway. Do you evaluate the rest of his remarks as true? If that's the same logic anyway

◇Park Sang-soo: What we need to be aware of among the remarks by Myung Tae-kyun is that these recordings appear as if they are appearing this morning. The fact that there are recordings. We're focusing on that right now. In fact, looking at the comments made by the party about Myung Tae-kyun, all the parties involved are asking for an active explanation quickly. Now we're just saying things because how do we accept that as a fact? But the problem is that there's a recording or something.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: The recording is claimed by him anyway. Isn't it the same thing?

◇Park Sang-soo: A recording of something while working came out today. You can take a look. It came out right before now.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: This time, the prosecution is expected to finally dispose of the case of Mrs. Kim Gun-hee's manipulation of Deutsche Motors' stock price. The investigation is not held, but the Red Team instead. It is said that an external prosecutor will go through a procedure to review the legal principles. How do you see it?

◇Park Sang-soo: Inside the prosecution, this will be judged according to the law. That's what all lawyers would think. In the case of the Investigation Review Committee, I also reviewed it once as a lawyer, and this is the case where the prosecutor general was deprived of the right to command the investigation. In the past, when President Yoon Suk Yeol was the prosecutor general, he said that the authority to command the investigation was related to his family, so Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae was deprived of it, but that was not recovered. So this issue cannot be sent by the Attorney General to the Investigative Review Committee. As a result of the current situation, the discussion of the investigation review committee itself does not mean much unless the prosecutor general's right to command the investigation is restored. Because the prosecutor general does not have the right to command the investigation, it is not a matter of political discussion in that regard, and this is a matter for the prosecution to judge on its own as an independent institution, so I think it is a matter for the current Minister of Justice and the prosecution to judge on their own. In that case, I think the prosecution is trying to have a procedure that the public can understand to some extent to say that it will be verified once more through a third prosecutor, not through investigation deliberation. I think it's very important to show such a convincing procedure. The legal judgment is that our host, lawyer Bae Seung-hee, is also a lawyer, so that's what they think. That's what I think, too.

◆Bae Seung-hee: Next, what you said was that the president and the party leader should not do this ahead of the election because of the election. Should we make a prediction here about strengthening Busan and Incheon? I'll listen to it briefly.

◇Park Sang-soo: Since I'm the chairman of the party's cooperation committee in Incheon, I think we can win Kang-in. I've been to the campaign trail too, but I definitely feel our support, so I think we can win here. I think Busan is close right now. Still, at the end, Rep. Kim Young-bae's very immoral absurd remarks are shaking local public sentiment, so we are carefully expecting a victory in this regard.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: The cause of the by-election is now a natural death from a cerebral hemorrhage, so you're talking about this part, right?

◇Park Sang-soo: Yes, that's right.

◆ Bae Seung-hee: Okay. Thank you so much for the interview even though you're busy today. Thank you for your comment. So far, I was Park Sang-soo, spokesman for the People's Power.
