The Democratic Party of Korea announced that it will report to the National Assembly plenary session on the 28th the prosecution's impeachment, including Lee Chang-soo, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, who has not been indicted on allegations of stock price manipulation by Kim Gun-hee.

People's Power protested against Lee Jae-myung's imprisonment in the first trial, saying he was holding an angry impeachment show.

The Democratic Party of Korea is pushing for a report on the impeachment motion on the 28th, including Lee Chang-soo, the chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, Cho Sang-won, the 4th deputy chief, and Choi Jae-hoon, the 2nd anti-corruption chief.

The intention is to hold the prosecutors in charge of investigating the alleged manipulation of Kim Gun-hee's stock price accountable, but they plan to hold an additional plenary session to push for a vote.

Earlier, some in the party have raised concerns that the impeachment of the prosecutor should be postponed due to the voting strategy, as it is expected to re-decide on the first lady's independent counsel law on the same day.

[Choi Jae-sung / Former senior presidential secretary for political affairs (KBS Radio's 'Absolute Investigation') : Planning investigation, targeted investigation, and search and seizure were all over the place. But you're impeaching the prosecutor for doing that? This is a relief.]

Nevertheless, the Democratic Party of Korea holds a debate on the topic of President Yoon's dismissal, and Chairman Lee Jae-myung is putting weight on a single battle and a head-on breakthrough to overcome judicial risks, such as joining hands with Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: It's my tax, it's my power, so I ask you to use that power and budget properly for us, for the people.' If you don't listen, you'll get in trouble.]

In response, the People's Power pointed out that the Democratic Party is mentioning the impeachment of the defense minister following the impeachment of the prosecutor, and shot back as an "impeachment addiction party."

If you have conscience and common sense, I set a day to apologize and reflect on the conviction of Lee Jae-myung.

Representative Han Dong-hoon has repeatedly focused on public welfare and economic drives, including the legislation of fiscal rules, and has also set out to differentiate himself from the opposition party.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of the People's Power: We need to spend money well in order to go to a welfare state, but fiscal rules are necessary to spend money well without leakage.]

In addition to the prospect of a re-decision on the 28th, another clash between the ruling and opposition parties is expected to be inevitable, with the issue of holding an additional plenary session to deal with the prosecutor's impeachment.
