Han Dong-hoon, the representative of People's Power, emphasized the need to overhaul the system, saying that opinion polls should not be a playground for political brokers.

It is aimed at the alleged manipulation of the poll by Myung Tae-kyun, and there are voices from close circles that discuss measures such as an emergency general meeting of lawmakers are needed over the recordings of the phone call between Myung and the president released this time.

Reporter Kim Da-yeon reports.

Representative Han Dong-hoon, who continued to criticize various controversies, including allegations of intervention in the nomination of First Lady Kim Gun-hee, did not speak to the voice recordings between Myung Tae-kyun and the president.

Instead, he stressed that the system should be repaired, saying that public opinion polls, which should show public sentiment as they are, seem to be used to distort these days.

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: I don't think opinion polls should be a playground or a place of business for political brokers and ambitious people. It's wrong. We need to correct it.]

The political broker that representative Han said was aimed at Myung Tae-kyun,

is suspected of manipulating public opinion surveys, not only of 'suspected intervention in nomination' but also of 'suspected of manipulating public opinion surveys', such as making the results of the investigation ahead of other candidates in the presidential election process.

[Myeong Tae Gyun (Calling Kang Hye-kyung on September 29, 2021)] Raise Yoon Seok-yeol up a little bit and give him a 2% lead over the Hong Joon Pyo. Isn't that a young son (children)? You have to raise the coefficient of responding so that it comes out more than 2~3% promotion.]

The close-knit Dong-hoon community is also keeping a close eye on the trend, but is not hiding the dissatisfaction and crisis that the presidential recording has poured cold water on the atmosphere of reform.

In a phone call with YTN, a close-knit lawmaker expressed caution, saying he was watching the situation.

If you make a clumsy position without knowing the facts exactly, it can become strange.

Another close lawmaker expressed frustration, saying, "As we are in a situation where we are literally under a nuclear bomb, we should hold an emergency general meeting of lawmakers."

The party is in an atmosphere of organizing its position with the logic that President Yoon was not caught in the Public Official Election Act because he was the president-elect at the time, and that the nomination was just a private conversation.

[Kim Sang-hoon / People's Power Policy Committee Chairman: I don't think the president-elect explicitly mentioned that he would nominate Kim Young-sun.... I think you can make a judgment in consideration of the situation.]

The party seems to be embarrassed by the incident, which broke out 15 days before the first trial of Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung, which is considered a good thing for the ruling party.

Representative Han's decision to use defense logic or draw a line with the president's office has been put to the test again amid the consensus that the opposition should not be given an excuse for the impeachment offensive.
