■ Proceedings: Shin Yul, Professor of Political Science and Diplomacy at Myongji University
■ Talk: ☎ Shin Ji-ho, Vice-President of the Strategic Planning Department for People's Power,
* The text below may differ from the actual broadcast content, so please check the broadcast for more accurate information.
◇ Shin Yul, Professor of Political Science and Diplomacy at Myongji University (hereinafter Shin Yul): The 4th part of YTN Radio's Shin Yul's news head-to-head competition begins. In today's face-to-face interview for the fourth part, Shin Ji-ho, the head of the Strategic Planning Department, is the people's strength. I'm on the phone right now. Dear Vice-Chancellor,
☆ Shin Ji-ho, Minister of Strategic Planning for People's Power (hereinafter referred to as Shin Ji-ho): Yes, how are you?
◇ Shin Yul: Today, Deputy Secretary-General. Kim Gun-hee's special prosecutor law was eventually abolished, but I think it's true that some votes have come out now. So there's a theory that it's two votes and there's a theory that it's four votes because we can't know that. Actually, that's why there were about 2 to 4 votes of departure, but how do you see this, Deputy Secretary-General?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: In my opinion. I think the interpretation between two and four votes is correct. It's 4 out of 2 votes, but how should I look at this? Isn't it a kind of warning sign? It's shown like this.
◇ Shin Yul: Could you explain a little bit?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Since the public opinion on Kim Gun-hee is getting worse, the ruling party lawmakers are going to the limit in defending it. Some in the party say that except for some lawmakers, regardless of factions, special measures are needed for the Kim issue. So, in the sense of urging something like that, it seems like there were about two to four votes for a warning departure.
◇ Shin-yul: Of course, this can be a warning, but from Han Dong-hoon's point of view, Han Dong-hoon's point of view, of course, it was rejected this time, but still, we pushed for it with considerable weight on the rejection, but if this departure vote comes out, wouldn't Han Dong-hoon get a little hurt? What do you think of this analysis?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: But as you know, this is an anonymous vote, so there's no way to check unless you come out and who did what. However, representative Han Dong-hoon should oppose the special prosecution law yesterday and today. I made it clear. So I think this will be the case for the Democratic Party now because it has turned out that it is a reality that we have these things within ourselves to find out which way the departure vote came from. If you look at the news now, Deutsche Motors shares have decided to drop the indictment within this month regarding the manipulation. Aren't there articles like this? Until now, the reason and logic of our party's defense of the Democratic Party of Korea's special prosecution offensive is that when the prosecution's investigation is over and the results of the prosecution's investigation are difficult for the public to understand, we should conduct a special prosecution. But now we have not prosecuted the luxury bag. However, if Deutsche Motors does not prosecute the manipulation of the stock price, wouldn't there be an aspect that complements the weakness of the opposition's cause and logic of the special prosecutor's human rights investigation law? So I think we should look at it like it's getting harder and harder to defend.
◇ Shin Yul: I don't know. Anyway, the Democratic Party of Korea is going to propose another special prosecution law, isn't it?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes, maybe if Deutsche Motors is not prosecuted, there is a high possibility that it will receive it and reissue the special prosecution law.
◇ Sin-ryul: But as this keeps repeating, I'm sorry, but the number of departure votes tends to increase a little more. Some people say that, but if we do it again, we don't know what's going to happen next.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: That's right. So, as you know, this lawmaker is bound to be sensitive to public opinion.
◇ Sin-ryul: It's bound to be sensitive.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Don't we need this convincing measure to calm Seongnam's public sentiment quickly because we have no choice but to be sensitive? So now, not only Kim Gun-hee's sincere apology but also some things like how she will work in the future should come out, but can't the ruling party defend it with its own justification and logic? That's what I think.
◇ Shin Yul: Isn't the special prosecutor's law that has been raised this time also included the issue of Kim's alleged involvement in the nomination? If so, shouldn't some logic be established in the power of the people?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: That's right. It should have been set up, but based on what has been revealed, it cannot be concluded that she intervened in the nomination. Based on what has been revealed so far, she expressed her opinion and thoughts on the nomination issue, but she intervened in the nomination with that alone. I can't say it like this, right? And just because such things come out, I don't think we'll have to go first with the special prosecutor.
◇ Shin Yul: Okay. And the other is Kim Dae-nam, the former senior administrator of the presidential office, because there are various suspicions about Kim Gun-hee. Isn't he just an administrator because he's a senior administrator?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes. I'm not a senior administrator, I'm a third-level general administrator.
◇ Shin Yul: It's not a senior. Kim Dae-nam, the former administrator of the presidential office, is a problem in this area, and this person is now, so the Democratic Party of Korea is going to keep biting into this issue, what do you think?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: The Democratic Party can bite and bite. We need to adjust it a little so that we can abuse it to the Democratic Party. I think we need to manage it well so that it won't be abused like that, so the important thing is to find out the truth. It's a fact-finding mission, but I think the priority is to conduct a quiet fact-finding mission internally. Some people said definitively that this is a personal deviation, but how can I say it with such certainty whether it is a personal deviation or not? I think that's absurd. First of all, we need to find out the exact truth of whether it was an individual deviant act or a few people were involved through a quiet and calm investigation, and then decide what to do. In the process, I think it is also necessary to manage it well so that the opposition party does not abuse it.
◇ Shin-yul: You just mentioned the move, but actually, Kim Dae-nam left the party. If you leave the party, you may be able to investigate, but there's nothing you can do about it.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: That's right. If you leave the party, you can't do anything about it. Because I'm already a defector.
◇ Shin Yul: So can't you legally hang something now? Defamation and obstruction of business.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: That's right. Now, I think it is possible only when the results of the investigation come out, such as obstruction of defamation and violation of the party law.
◇ Shin Yul: Yes. First of all, there was a team of investigators.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: This is why our party's ethics committee was appointed as a new ethics committee chairman last time, but the composition of the committee is not yet in progress. Members. So maybe next Monday, the ethics committee will be formed at the Supreme Council, and then the practical process will be carried out, and in this case, I don't think it will take that long.
◇ Sin Yul: I don't think it's going to take a long time. But personally, I'm very curious. Isn't it the time when Kim Dae-nam talked to Lee on the phone at Seoul's sound since Kim Gun-hee's phone call was already released?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: That's right.
◇ Shin Yul: But it was very surprising that he kept in contact with a medium that couldn't maintain a smooth relationship with the presidential office.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: So Kim Dae-nam first talked to Lee Myung-soo on the phone on September 5th last year, and he was working in the presidential office at that time. Kim Dae-nam left the presidential office around October. Regarding Choi Jae-young's luxury bag in November, the presidential office claimed that Seoul was a hidden camera maneuver for a luxury bag maneuver, and our ruling party has been doing that until now. But I think we should be careful when that hidden camera maneuvering appeared, and even after that, we kept communicating with each other and even ordered a candidate from the same party to do that at the national convention.
◇ Shin Yul: It's hard to interpret logically, too.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: But that's why I have to say that it's an act of selling Jin-young.
◇ Shin Yul: But Kim Dae-nam is still maintaining his position as an auditor of Seoul Guarantee Insurance.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes, we are currently maintaining it.
◇ Shin Yul: Some people say that we should resign, what do you think?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: There are two main suspicions about Kim Dae-nam. It's a fact-finding investigation to see if it was an individual play or who was involved with the owner of the attack. And then Seoul Guarantee. It's not a place where a third-level administrator can go. So, what happened to going there and the Seoul Guarantee Insurance Executive Recommendation Committee meeting will be held on July 15th, where it will be quickly passed in five minutes. It is unanimous, but it is unanimously processed quickly in five minutes without anyone raising the issue of anyone with no experience in the financial sector. Such things are in full swing at the national convention, and on July 10th, he apologized to Lee Myung-soo, and two days later, the report came out, and after three days, Kim Dae-nam will be decided as a standing auditor by the committee.
◇ Shin Yul: Kim Dae Nam is a person who has nothing to do with finance, right?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: It doesn't matter at all.
◇ Sin Yul: I see. So, anyway, this suspicion may not be problematic. It's a suspicion. But either from the presidential office or from the ruling party's point of view, it should be either clear or call for his resignation quickly. I think there's bound to be this kind of public opinion.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yeah, I know. It wasn't his place to go, but I think he did. That seems so obvious. In addition to the understanding of the circumstances, he is now expressing his position through his lawyer that he has no intention of resigning, but as a person who once served in the presidential office, his current behavior puts such a burden on the government. If that happens, it's best if you organize it on your own, but I don't know what's going to happen.
◇ Shin Yul: Didn't you discuss this with the people who were in the presidential office? The vice president?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: I haven't communicated recently.
◇ Sin-ryul: But what's more, since we're very busy these days, it's because it's a by-election, and I think this is the first time that the by-election of the head of the local government has received this much public attention.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: That's right. Even when I was the head of Gangseo-gu.
◇ Shin Yul: That's right then, but Busan Geumjeong-gu District Office Chief, of course, CEO Han Dong-hoon went down to Honam today, right?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes.
◇ Sin Yul: I think so. On the Busan side, whether the Democratic Party of Korea and the Cho Kuk Innovation Party are unifying or not, yesterday, representative Cho Kuk and representative Lee Jae-myung met and said, "Today, the unification broke down," and then the Cho Kuk Innovation Party said, "There is room for us to think differently," so we don't know what to do. How do we see it?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: We think it will eventually work out. Looking at the unification now, it's almost done, but I think that's the last issue left, whether or not to add a clause to prevent adverse selection in the poll. So I think we should prepare for that, believing that it will eventually be unified no matter which side makes concessions. So CEO Han Dong-hoon also plans to support in Busan for 1 night and 2 days the day after tomorrow.
◇ Shin Yul: But there are a lot of people saying that Honam is a little difficult to be a force for the people, so it's Busan and Ganghwa. These are the two places, and this is the first by-elections by-elections since the new leadership was inaugurated, and if either of them is a little off, wouldn't it be in a more difficult position for one representative? I'm thinking like this, how do you see it?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: I think that's a situation that has no choice but to suffer such a blow. And in the case of Ganghwa, Incheon and Geumjeong, Busan, the heads of local governments were all members of our party, but both were relatively good when our party won the by-election due to death. That's what happens. Isn't there a problem if even one gets taken away? I think it's a situation that has no choice but to happen like this.
◇ Sin-ryul: You have to do your best. Of course, it's the party's natural mission to go all out to win every election, but is that yesterday? Lee Hwa-young, former vice governor of Gyeonggi-do Province, came to the National Assembly and came to the hearing room. So, I came to the hearing room of the Judiciary Committee, and I was sentenced to nine years in the first trial, right? Of course, the presumption of innocence will be applied, but I think it's the first time I've seen a suspect come out to the National Assembly and talk about his position during the second trial.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: I've seen such a scene for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen it. So it's very shocking. So, because the prosecution investigation and the court trial did not produce satisfactory results for them, they abused legislative power in this way and abandoned such things as yesterday with the intention of effecting the court trial. In a way, such an act that violates the spirit of separation of powers took place in the legislature. That's what I think.
◇ Shin Yul: By the way, we don't know how it was intended yesterday, but was it yesterday lawmaker Joo Jin-woo? Didn't this person play the recording? Because of that at the hearing, it seems that he has been accused of violating the Political Fund Act again. How do you see it?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: So it's like trying to take off a bump and trying to take off a small bump and then putting on a bigger bump. So in the case of Jeong Cheong-rae, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I think he probably couldn't sleep that night. Didn't you put a much bigger lump on it? And the defendant Lee Hwa-young is really afraid of himself and worried. Didn't you lobby the court while saying you were concerned? That's one thing about the second trial and then lobbying the Supreme Court. Also, illegal political funds, namely the plaza, which was an outside organization during the presidential election of Lee Jae-myung. On top of that, former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan and lawmaker Cho Jung-sik are involved, and former chairman Kim Sung-tae gave up the funds for the activities. Aren't these two suspicions? I think we have no choice but to investigate it anew.
◇ Shin Yul: Suspicions related to Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il. This is still a suspicion, are you investigating now?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: As far as I know, former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il has been summoned for questioning once because he is now 5 billion club. Previously, it was only known that Kim Man-bae, the main culprit of Daejang-dong, lobbied, but the fact that Kim Man-bae, the former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il and others lobbied, as well as former Chairman Kim Sung-tae, was newly revealed through the transcript yesterday, right?
◇ Shin Yul: Anyway, former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il should be a highly respected position if he is a Supreme Court justice. I think it's because the name keeps going up and down.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes, that's right.
◇ Shin Yul: Yes. Vice-Chancellor, let's stop here today. Thank you.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes, thank you.
◇ Shin Yul: I was Shin Ji Ho, the head of the Strategic Planning Department of the People's Power.

And in the case of Ganghwa, Incheon and Geumjeong, Busan, the heads of local governments were all members of our party, but both were relatively good when our party won the by-election due to death. That's what happens. Isn't there a problem if even one gets taken away? I think it's a situation that has no choice but to happen like this.
◇ Sin-ryul: You have to do your best. Of course, it's the party's natural mission to go all out to win every election, but is that yesterday? Lee Hwa-young, former vice governor of Gyeonggi-do Province, came to the National Assembly and came to the hearing room. So, I came to the hearing room of the Judiciary Committee, and I was sentenced to nine years in the first trial, right? Of course, the presumption of innocence will be applied, but I think it's the first time I've seen a suspect come out to the National Assembly and talk about his position during the second trial.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: I've seen such a scene for a long time, but it's the first time I've seen it. So it's very shocking. So, because the prosecution investigation and the court trial did not produce satisfactory results for them, they abused legislative power in this way and abandoned such things as yesterday with the intention of effecting the court trial. In a way, such an act that violates the spirit of separation of powers took place in the legislature. That's what I think.
◇ Shin Yul: By the way, we don't know how it was intended yesterday, but was it yesterday lawmaker Joo Jin-woo? Didn't this person play the recording? Because of that at the hearing, it seems that he has been accused of violating the Political Fund Act again. How do you see it?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: So it's like trying to take off a bump and trying to take off a small bump and then putting on a bigger bump. So in the case of Jeong Cheong-rae, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, I think he probably couldn't sleep that night. Didn't you put a much bigger lump on it? And the defendant Lee Hwa-young is really afraid of himself and worried. Didn't you lobby the court while saying you were concerned? That's one thing about the second trial and then lobbying the Supreme Court. Also, illegal political funds, namely the plaza, which was an outside organization during the presidential election of Lee Jae-myung. On top of that, former Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan and lawmaker Cho Jung-sik are involved, and former chairman Kim Sung-tae gave up the funds for the activities. Aren't these two suspicions? I think we have no choice but to investigate it anew.
◇ Shin Yul: Suspicions related to Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il. This is still a suspicion, are you investigating now?
☆ Shin Ji-ho: As far as I know, former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il has been summoned for questioning once because he is now 5 billion club. Previously, it was only known that Kim Man-bae, the main culprit of Daejang-dong, lobbied, but the fact that Kim Man-bae, the former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il and others lobbied, as well as former Chairman Kim Sung-tae, was newly revealed through the transcript yesterday, right?
◇ Shin Yul: Anyway, former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il should be a highly respected position if he is a Supreme Court justice. I think it's because the name keeps going up and down.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes, that's right.
◇ Shin Yul: Yes. Vice-Chancellor, let's stop here today. Thank you.
☆ Shin Ji-ho: Yes, thank you.
◇ Shin Yul: I was Shin Ji Ho, the head of the Strategic Planning Department of the People's Power.
