The biggest concern of the ruling party is whether the meeting between President Yoon and Representative Han Dong-hoon can lead to a way to resolve the controversy over First Lady Kim Gun-hee.

A key witness was present at the National Assembly's parliamentary audit today, claiming that the related allegations are true.

I'll connect you to the National Assembly reporter.

Reporter Hong Min Gi!

Yes, about the meeting between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Representative Han Dong-hoon, please tell us what the atmosphere of the ruling and opposition parties is like.

[Reporter]
Yes, there is a strong sense of tension within the people about today's meeting.

If the controversy over First Lady Kim Gun-hee, which has emerged as the biggest negative factor in the ruling party, is resolved through this meeting, it could be an opportunity for the government and the government to unite, but

If it ends up with an empty-handed meeting, there is also a sense of crisis that it will be difficult to confront the Democratic Party of Korea's offensive ahead of the third vote on the Kim Special Counsel Act.

Let's hear Kim Jong-hyuk's remarks at the meeting this morning.

[Kim Jong-hyuk / Supreme member of People's Power: I sincerely hope that fundamental measures will be taken against the Kim controversy so that our party and its supporters can stand up to this anti-democratic tyranny of the Democratic Party.]

Former Supreme Council member Kim Min, classified as pro-Yoon-gye, accepted Kim's special prosecutor,
Kim Hye-kyung, wife of Chairman Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea
, and Kim Jung-sook, wife of former President Kim Moon Jae In, were asked to propose an independent counsel.

Some point out that the presidential office of Yongsan is responsible for ending the controversy in the end, centering on the close circle.

The Democratic Party has increased its pressure on Han.

Representative Lee Jae-myung emphasized that it is not clear whether it is a private meeting or an interview, but it is important to meet, and that he hopes to produce positive results, not formal acts.

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader, also joined the pressure of Han.

Let's hear your remarks from this morning's meeting.

[Park Chan-dae / Minjoo Party floor leader: Chairman Han Dong-hoon should not mislead the people and actively ask for the full acceptance of Special Prosecutor Kim Gun-hee in a meeting with President Yoon Suk Yeol this afternoon.]

Lee also said he expects to meet with the opposition leader once he has the opportunity, and Han just accepted it, signaling a second meeting between the ruling and opposition parties.

Yes, a key person related to the suspicion of the ruling party's involvement in the nomination was present at today's parliamentary audit, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Kang Hye-kyung, a key figure who raised suspicions of nomination intervention, attended the parliamentary audit of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office of the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee as a witness.

Kang reported earlier the results of a poll manipulated in favor of President ∀ during the last presidential election by Myung Tae-kyun,

In return, he claimed that he tried to win the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun, the power of the people, through First Lady Kim Gun-hee.

In today's parliamentary inspection, Myung repeatedly raised suspicions that former lawmaker Kim won the nomination instead of receiving money from President Yoon and his wife.

Let's listen to it for ourselves.

[Kang Hye-kyung / Former Future Korea Research Institute employee: CEO Myung Tae-kyun sent a statement because President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Gun-hee said they would take money, but they said they would take it, but they didn't take it, and as a result, they were nominated by Kim Young-sun]

In December 2021, a recording was also released that Myung talked about his dream with First Lady Kim Gun-hee and said, "Kwon Sung-dong, Yoon Han-hong, and former lawmaker Jang Je-won are boiling the candidate in a boiling pot at the time of Yoon Suk Yeol."

At that time, suspicions arose that Kwon, known as the so-called "Yoon nuclear officer," made sexual harassment remarks, and Kang claimed that the conversation was in the context of discussing the "Yoon nuclear officer" issue between Kim and Myung.

On the other hand, the power of the people took issue with the low credibility, saying that Kang was speaking based on what he heard from Myung, not what he saw or heard in person.

In the midst of this, at the beginning of the parliamentary audit, a companion order was issued for First Lady Kim Gun-hee and First Lady Kim's mother Choi Eun-soon, leading to clashes between the ruling and opposition parties at one point.

People protested, saying that the power of the people does not seem to mean much except to humiliate them, while the Democratic Party countered that the people were hurt by Kim.

Members of the Democratic Party visited the presidential residence to execute the accompanying order, but they were unable to execute it after a confrontation.
