[Capture news] The court that denied the evidence brought up by the prosecution...Lee Jae-myung's "Gisaeng."

Kim Jin-sung testified at Lee Jae-myung's election law trial in 2019 to the effect that "there was an atmosphere inside the election camp of former Seongnam Mayor Kim Byung-ryang to accuse Lee of impersonating a prosecutor."

The prosecution claimed that Kim perjured under Lee's coercion, but the court judged that the testimony was based on Kim's memory.

Considering the fact that CEO Lee and former Mayor Kim had previously been hostile, such as accusing each other, it should be considered that Kim recognized the relevant atmosphere and talked about it at the trial.The statement to the effect of

that former Mayor Kim dropped the charges against KBS PD is also different from the truth, but it was judged not perjury because it testified according to memory.

On the other hand, the court explained that the four testimonies in which Kim mentioned "consultation between former Mayor Kim and KBS" were "perjury" contrary to memory.

In response, Kim repeatedly stated several times that he had never heard anything related from investigative agencies to courts, but he stressed that punishment is inevitable for Kim, who testified as if he knew about facts he did not know or experienced.
