When Lee Jae-myung was indicted on suspicion of misappropriation of corporate cards, the Democratic Party of Korea criticized the political prosecution's behavior as too much.
The power of the people urged the judiciary to make a swift ruling, saying it is hoped to reveal the truth in court.

The Democratic Party of Korea defined that the prosecution's handing over Lee Jae-myung to trial over allegations of corporate credit card was a clear forced indictment and opposition opposition oppression.
Following the violation of the Public Official Election Act and the allegation of perjury teachers, he created another excuse to kill political opponents, which is a bare face of the prosecution's dictatorship.
He compared the prosecution to a "firecracker" and argued that the political prosecution's behavior could also be linked to the power of Yoon Suk Yeol's president and the people, and that politicians should condemn it together.

The power of the people emphasized that the amount of breach of trust charges exceeds 100 million won, saying that it is difficult to remember all of Lee's crimes.
In particular, he pointed out that it is a serious moral and legal problem, saying that CEO Lee shows that he does not even have the basics as a public official.
As CEO Lee said, the ruling party's position is to reveal the truth in court, "as per the law."

Representative Lee's judicial risk is increasing day after day as he is about to be sentenced to the first trial on perjury teacher charges even before the aftershock of the first trial ruling on the violation of the Public Official Election Act.
The Democratic Party of Korea plans to push ahead with the independent counsel law of Kim Gun-hee and the impeachment of the prosecutor.
There are also concerns that political turmoil will continue as political circles are covered in disputes over the Lee Jae-myung's trial and the Kim controversy.
