The prosecution investigating the 'suspected involvement in the nomination' has secured a recording of Mr. Myung's phone call with President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife regarding the nomination.

Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People's Power who appears in the recording file, refuted the allegations.

The prosecution recently secured the entire recording of the call between Myung Tae-kyun and President Yoon Suk Yeol on May 9, 2022.The total length of files obtained from

's mobile phone and USB is about 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

The conversation is about talking to lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun about former lawmaker Kim Young-sun's nomination.

Rep. Yoon was the chairman of the nomination management committee for the National Assembly's re- and by-elections at the time.

, Yoon Han-hong and Kwon Sung-dong, the 'Yoon nuclear officers', expressed their opposition to the nomination,
It contains remarks that President Yoon will talk to Representative Yoon again,
.

Rep. Yoon Sang-hyun, the party, refuted the report.

[Yoon Sang-hyun / People's Power: The president never told me to nominate Kim Young-sun. Let me be clear. He never said, "Give Kim Young-sun a nomination." Even if the president's grandfather says it, not the president....]

Attention is focusing on how the prosecution's investigation will proceed as a recording contradicts the president's remarks that he never asked anyone to nominate at a press conference last month.

The prosecution also secured the details of Myung's phone call with First Lady Kim Gun-hee regarding the nomination following President Yoon's call.

The confirmation process for the president and his wife is inevitable.

The problem is that President Yoon has not been notified of the receipt of the impeachment trial and has not responded to the civil war investigation.

Therefore, it is analyzed that it will not be easy for the prosecution to confirm the suspicion of intervening in the nomination.

In the meantime, the court is expected to decide on the bail claim filed by Myung Tae-kyun later this year or early next year, so we are interested in what the results will be.
