The Democratic Party of Korea, which launched a general offensive against the ruling party after disclosing a recording of the phone call between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun, will hold a large-scale outdoor rally to urge the independent counsel of Kim Gun-hee.

The power of the people is watching public opinion, criticizing it as a bulletproof rally to cover the judicial risk of Lee Jae-myung, who is about to be sentenced in the first trial.

Are you ready for the opposition rally?

It starts at 2 p.m. soon, and Democratic Party members and supporters are gathering one after another in front of Seoul Station, the venue of the rally.

The official name of the rally announced by the Democratic Party of Korea is National Action Day, which condemns the manipulation of state affairs by President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife and calls for a special prosecution.

All the leaders of the Democratic Party, including Chairman Lee Jae-myung, attended, and all members of the party were ordered to mobilize.

Initially, the rally was designed to condemn various suspicions surrounding Kim Gun-hee, including the Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation case.

However, after disclosing the phone recording with Myung Tae-kyun, which caused suspicions of President Yoon's involvement in the nomination on the day before yesterday, the focus seems to have shifted to allegations of manipulation of state affairs by the president and his wife.

Spokesman Hwang Jung-ah said, "Even though the voice that contradicts the previous explanation that President Yoon cut ties with Yoon after the presidential election has been released, the presidential office is consistent with shameless sophistry that there is nothing wrong legally and common sense," and that the only answer is the special prosecutor.

The party leadership is distanced, but there are also voices within the Democratic Party calling for the president to step down as president or for a constitutional amendment to shorten his term.

Representative Lee Jae-myung encouraged the participation of the rally on social media, saying that the power to reestablish the collapsed hope lies with the acting sovereign.

The People's Power defined today's Democratic Party rally as a customized bulletproof rally for representative Lee Jae-myung ahead of the first trial this month.

Floor spokesman Park Joon-tae said that the Democratic Party was immersed in sedition politics by calling for impeachment, martial law, and resignation until the last day of the parliamentary audit, arguing that all activities of the party are geared toward the impeachment of the president and that the purpose is Lee's judicial risk bulletproof.

However, internally, it can be seen that the opposition party is in trouble.

With representative Han Dong-hoon continuing his silence, floor leader Choo Kyung-ho will visit Daegu and Gyeongbuk today to meet with party members.

As the approval rating of the state administration has recently fallen to the lowest level in TK, the party's traditional strong region, it seems to have started to settle the situation.

A key party official told YTN on the phone that for now, we have no choice but to watch the development of public opinion.

Presidential Chief of Staff Chung Jin-suk told the parliamentary inspection of the presidential office yesterday that there will be some form of expression of Yoon's position within this month.

However, he said he understood that Prime Minister Han Deok-soo will replace next year's budget plan, which is scheduled at the National Assembly the day after tomorrow.

The details of the phone call with Myung Tae-kyun are released, and the ruling and opposition parties seem to consider the situation of continuing an extreme confrontation over the special prosecution.President

Yoon did not attend the opening ceremony of the 22nd National Assembly in September, which would be the first time in 11 years since 2013 if he did not deliver a speech on this year's budget.
