Jeong Jin-seok said, "Recording contents, nomination intervention cannot be concluded...There's no legal problem."

Chung Jin-suk, chief of staff at the presidential office, said, "The Democratic Party's public transcript of the call between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun is a political argument that has not been proven to claim that it is a nomination intervention."

In a parliamentary audit of the National Assembly Steering Committee against the presidential office today (1st), Chung said, "We should not define and conclude that the recorded content is illegal nomination intervention."

President Yoon then stressed that the president's office clearly confirms that there is nothing wrong with the recordings legally or common sense, saying that he did not engage in illegal activities such as nomination intervention or election interference before and after taking office.

Regarding the presidential office's statement on the 8th that President Yoon and Myung have not contacted each other since the primary, Chung explained that it has been a long time since the presidential office received a phone call and did not seem to have remembered Myung's phone call while receiving numerous calls.
