◇ Anchor> Recently, the suspicion of intervening in the nomination continues to grow. The key figure, Myung Tae-kyun, came out today. Let's take a look together. I'm embarrassed and ashamed. During today's prosecution appearance, Myung Tae-kyun said this when asked by reporters. Let's listen to it for ourselves.
[Myeong Tae Gyun: I am embarrassed, ashamed, and sorry for my careless words and actions to the people. I will sincerely work on the prosecution's investigation. (Do you have any further disclosures?) I have not. Let me be clear, did I reveal anything? (You said you'd reveal it if you were arrested.) I haven't revealed anything yet. (Don't you even admit that you got paid in return for the nomination?) Let me just say something. The prosecution keeps adding more people. I heard that the account tracking team is here. Once you figure out the flow of money, this case is solved quickly. Why did the account tracking team come separately? Isn't it? If you look at the flow of money, this case is solved quickly. I've never received a single won.]
◇ Anchor> I didn't get a single won. That's what I said. In short, the allegation is that Myung Tae-kyun conducted a poll in return for accepting the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun. I'm suspected of this. Later, he received the salary of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun and received tens of millions of won. They're being suspected like this. He denies the charges today, saying he didn't receive a single won.
◆Choi Chang-ryul> He said he didn't receive even 1 won, and the prosecution is investigating him for violating the Political Fund Act. That's why I was summoned. It doesn't mean that he received 90 million won in exchange for the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-sun. That's what the prosecution suspects. That's why the prosecution says they paid Sebi together regularly, and the prosecution. Also, former lawmaker Kim Young-sun is saying that she gave money to Kang Hye-kyung without even realizing it. He says he has no idea, but I don't understand that either. How can an aide do that without the congressman's permission?
Not once or twice. From August 2022 to December last year, they gave it that way dozens of times. I don't understand what former lawmaker Kim Young-sun said. Everything like this should eventually turn out to be an investigation. As Myung Tae-kyun said, you can find out if you look at the account accurately. But if you look at Myung Tae-kyun's story, that's the person who threatened the president now. He said "Hey!" and he said it was a joke. That kind of person is lifting up and down the Republic of Korea. But now, the prosecution has summoned him.Ma is too slow to investigate.
The details of the phone call with First Lady Kim Gun-hee are all coming out when such a person talks like that, but we need to investigate quickly and reveal the truth. How can such a person do Korea like that? The prosecution really needs to transfer from Changwon District Prosecutors' Office to the Central District Prosecutors' Office or set up a special investigation team. What is Myung Tae-kyun doing to shake the country like that?
◇ Anchor> Myung Tae-kyun, who even talked about Haya, apologized to SNS just before the presidential press conference yesterday, and said sorry in front of reporters today. What do you think about the drastic change in tone?
◆Kim Jin> Looking at Myung Tae-kyun today, he is very nervous and anxious. According to his claim, he had surgery on both legs. So he went up the stairs limping with a cane on his right. And the youngest daughter is 5 or 6 years old, and she claims that she hasn't had any financial income for years. If it is true that half of lawmaker Kim Young-sun's salary was received, there was no economic income except for that.
Personally, I am in a very difficult situation and I am facing prosecution investigation, so anxiety and anxiety are all over my face and body. We're going to cover the second transcript of "Myeongtae Gyun" that the Democratic Party revealed.Since Ma is a behavior that is generally made in a very unstable state, Myung Tae-kyun's credibility is considerably reduced, and the fact that he didn't receive KRW 1 seems to say that he didn't receive KRW 1 of illegal funds, which is a violation of the Political Fund Act. That's the case when I judge.
