Additional suspicions related to Myung Tae-kyun, a key figure in the alleged intervention of the nomination ahead of the review of the arrest warrant, have been raised one after another.
The Democratic Party of Korea highlighted the suspicion that Myung received 5 million won from Kim, and also released a recording of the situation in which Myung seemed to know the president's schedule in advance.

The Democratic Party of Korea focused on the part where Myung Tae-kyun stated in the prosecution's investigation that he received an envelope of money from First Lady Kim Gun-hee.
The amount is known to be 5 million won, but Myung explained that it was "the nature of transportation expenses," but he expressed doubts about the nature of the money, saying, "Who in Korea gets transportation expenses like that?"

In the power of the people, the amount is not large and may be in the form of a case fee, so they are watching public opinion trends or additional revelations.
However, given that a specific amount was mentioned, there are also voices of concern compared to the Democratic Party's "money envelope at the convention."

The Democratic Party also released additional transcripts containing circumstantial evidence that Myung exerted influence on the appointment of the head of the agency or recommended stocks after knowing the president's schedule in advance.

The National Assembly has also begun on-site verification of the alleged 'Presidential Special Train Board'.
In the midst of this, Myung's side argued that the 2022 presidential voice transcript incident took place when Lee Joon-seok, the then representative of People's Power, used Myung to understand the intention of Yoon Suk Yeol.
Former representative Lee said that former lawmaker Kim Young-sun was on the way to hold the election, and Myung even talked to the president himself to confirm this.

As the Democratic Party plans to complete the process of the Special Prosecutor's Act on Kim Gun-hee within this month, it is expected to focus on an all-round offensive with suspicions of Myung Tae-kyun for the time being.
