The Democratic Party of Korea will hold a large-scale outdoor rally this evening to raise the level of public opinion on Kim Gun-hee, the first independent counsel.
The People's Power protested that it was a "judicial intimidation demonstration" to prevent the conviction ahead of the first trial of representative Lee Jae-myung.
I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!
Opposition-heralded outdoor rally, when does it start?
[Reporter]
After a while, from 6:30 p.m., the Democratic Party will hold a second outdoor rally near Seoul City Hall with other opposition parties, including the Cho Kuk Innovation Party and the Progressive Party.
He is going to the streets for two consecutive weeks following last week, and as the theme of this rally, he called for the acceptance of "Kim Gun-hee's Special Counsel" and "opposition to war."
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and civic groups will also hold a rally near the same time.
Representative Lee Jae-myung also urged citizens to participate through SNS, saying, "Please correct the wrong country."
After the Democratic Party of Korea released a recording of the voice of President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun, opposition parties are raising suspicions of "intervention in the nomination" and calling for the resignation of the government.
The president's public statement and press conference have not sufficiently resolved various suspicions, and the pressure on the loan is being raised to pass the plenary session of the Kim Gun-hee Special Counsel Act, which was proposed for the third time next week.
On the other hand, the People's Power launched a counterattack by saying that the Democratic Party of Korea ordered a general mobilization of outdoor rallies to prevent convictions in the face of the first trial of Lee Jae-myung.
Representative Han Dong-hoon also criticized his SNS earlier today as a "judge intimidation show," pointing out that if the independence and fairness of the judiciary are explicitly threatened, the damage will be to all the people.
Party-level comments have also been made one after another.
The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions also criticized the Democratic Party of Korea and the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions for holding a rally on the same day, saying that the rally between the Democratic Party and the representative Lee are actually "one body," and that if they are sure of innocence, they should wait for court judgment instead of going out on the streets.

In the meantime, what is the atmosphere of the ruling party that delivered various reform measures to the presidential office?
[Reporter]
First of all, after President Yoon Suk Yeol's public statement, there is an air within the ruling party to minimize public criticism.
{Devilization}, while showing regret in some remarks or the specificity of the apology, etc.
President
apologized directly, and it seems that the demands of representative Han Dong-hoon and party officials, such as Kim Gun-hee's refraining from activities and reorganizing her personnel, have been accepted to some extent.
Some in the close circle believe that the level of reform announced by the president was not sufficient, but instead of making a burst sound, they will wait for specific measures.
CEO Han Dong-hoon also has not released any additional messages related to it after posting a short SNS post, saying it is important to "practice it specifically at a level that meets the public's mind."Another issue of interest is whether to push for the appointment of a special inspector, which has been emphasized by representatives
Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho is considering holding a general meeting of lawmakers before the plenary session on the 14th.
At this time, we will collect opinions from lawmakers on the special inspector, and the issue of linkage with the recommendation of directors of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation is also expected to be concluded.
However, as the president has expressed his intention to go through the appointment process if he recommends a candidate for a special inspector at the National Assembly, some observers say that opinions will be gathered toward the promotion without much disagreement.People close to representatives
are also strongly demanding the acceptance of special inspectors, which is expected to focus on defending the opposition's attack on First Lady Kim.
So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
