Han Dong-hoon said, "We will not delay the introduction of a special inspector"... "Mrs. Kim's controversy" breaks head-on

[Anchor]
Han Dong-hoon, the representative of People's Power, emphasized that the national demands related to Kim Gun-hee should be resolved before the first trial of Lee Jae-myung next month.

In particular, some analysts say that they have virtually rebelled against Yoon Suk Yeol's will by saying that they will not delay the introduction of a special inspector who inspects the president's spouse.

I'll connect you to the National Assembly reporter. Reporter Hong Min Gi!

CEO Han Dong-hoon's remarks, please explain in detail.

[Reporter]
Yes, a meeting was held this morning to expand the power of the people.

In his opening remarks, Chairman Han Dong-hoon said that the first trial sentence of Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party will come out on the 15th of next month, and that the Democratic Party of Korea will act more against public sentiment before then.

He then emphasized that the power of the people should have resolved the people's demands regarding Kim Gun-hee at that time.

Let's hear Han's remarks in person.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: If the issues related to Mrs. Kim are the top priority for complaints that everyone talks about, the public sentiment of leaving the Democratic Party of Korea does not come to us as if they were leaving Omellas]

This is the first time a representative has mentioned the issue related to First Lady Kim Gun-hee in public since the meeting with President Yoon Suk Yeol.In particular, representative

said he would proceed with the process of recommending special inspectors, urging the Democratic Party of Korea to recommend a director of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation.

However, he expressed his intention to push for a separate special inspector, saying that it is difficult to get public sympathy that the recommendation of directors of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation is a prerequisite for the promotion of a special inspector.

The special inspector is a position to inspect the president's spouse and family, and President Yoon previously said that the introduction of a special inspector and the appointment of a director of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation are linked.As representative

revealed plans contrary to President Yoon's "linked" intention, some analysts say that he may have openly "half-term" with President Yoon after the interview.Representative

explained that he also told President Yoon that he would actually proceed with the process of recommending special inspectors during the meeting, but
Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho
expressed a negative intention, saying that the introduction of a special inspector is a matter to be decided by the floor, and that it is difficult to gather opinions from many lawmakers just because one person makes an easy decision.

The issue of the special inspector is emerging as the biggest detonator of factional conflict within the party.

Yes, I heard that close lawmakers gathered for dinner last night, so please tell me in detail what was going on.

[Reporter]
Yes, close lawmakers had a dinner last night at a restaurant in Yeouido, Seoul, a day after President Yoon's meeting with Han.

About 20 people, including six-term lawmaker Cho Kyung-tae, lawmaker Jung Sung-guk, Supreme Council member Jang Dong-hyuk, and Supreme Council member Kim Jong-hyuk, attended and lasted about two hours.A close-knit lawmaker who attended a dinner in

said in a YTN call that Han went to Yongsan and said everything he had to say, and explained that Han is likely to deliver a clearer message in the future.

In fact, representative Han is said to have said at the dinner, "I will say it more directly."

It is also known that it is not the time to adapt the words to the president's office, but to say "yes or no" to the three demands to resolve the controversy over First Lady Kim Gun-hee.The intention was that the president's office explained the contents of the interview the day after the

interview, and that the contents were adapted and revealed as it was pointed out as an 'empty interview'.

It is interpreted as a sign that representative Han, who believes that his demands, such as personnel reform, suspension of Kim's external activities, and cooperation to investigate suspicions, have been virtually rejected, will strongly urge a change in the presidential office's attitude in the future.

At yesterday's dinner, it was confirmed that there were talks about photos of the meeting released by the presidential office or the attendance of floor leader Choo Kyung-ho at the presidential office dinner after the meeting.Floor leader

Chu attended the dinner without informing Han, and it is said that some criticized that he is "loyal to Yongsan and is only looking at the president."

Yes, in this situation, the Democratic Party is putting more pressure on Kim Gun-hee to accept the independent counsel law?

[Reporter]
Yes, the Democratic Party of Korea seems to be raising the intensity of Kim Gun-hee's special prosecution law offensive with the gap between the two, saying that the meeting between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Representative Han Dong-hoon was nothing but an empty-handed meeting.

CEO Lee Jae-myung said it was a regrettable and very unfortunate interview in many ways.

Let's listen to the remarks at the meeting this morning.

[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party leader: They say politics is like a gang fight between 'those people' in the back alley. Let's find a way for politics to be restored again.]

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the party, also pointed out that President Yoon's remarks to "fight with the party" mean that President Yoon and his wife will use the power of the people as a shield.

In an interview with CBS Radio, Supreme Council member Kim Min-seok downplayed the meeting with the president as a 'moral farewell ceremony,'

He also made somewhat provocative remarks to close lawmakers, saying, "If you have a tummy, shouldn't you still dream?"

He urged Han to change his close relationship with him, saying he intends to discuss the third and fourth-party special prosecution laws.

A key Democratic Party official said in a phone call with YTN that Han would have no choice but to come forward with a forward-looking attitude toward the special prosecution, but left room for the Democratic Party to change the special prosecution law if there is no change.

The Democratic Party of Korea said Lee Jae-myung ordered his chief of staff to discuss the agenda, timing and method of the second meeting with Han today.

While the main agenda is widely expected to be the Special Prosecutor's Act, some predict that financial investment income tax, special prosecutors for Chae Sang-byung, and solutions to the medical crisis could also be on the table.
