Prosecutors Investigate First Summoning After Arresting Myung Tae-kyun and Kim Young-sun

The prosecution, which is investigating the alleged involvement in the nomination, called in arrested Myung Tae-kyun and former lawmaker Kim Young-sun to investigate.

The prosecution arrested the two and summoned them this afternoon (15th) less than a day later.

The prosecution is focusing on confirming the allegations raised during the investigation, as the court's issuance of an arrest warrant has partially admitted its explanation for the violation of the Political Fund Act.

Prosecutors are checking whether President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife intervened in the nomination of former lawmaker Kim in the 2022 by-election in Changwon's Chang-gu district.

We are also investigating the size and nature of the money that Myung received from First Lady Kim Gun-hee.

At the same time, we are also looking into whether Myung was involved in the designation of Changwon's second national industrial complex.
