"Difficult legal action…Concerns about damaging freedom of expression"
Chin Yoon-gye "Han Dong-hoon should clarify whether he is involved in his family."
In the power of the people, the controversy over allegations of "slandering on party bulletin boards" surrounding representative Han Dong-hoon has not subsided.
At the party level, the results of a full investigation into the posts in question were released, but when pro-Yoon-gye repeatedly pressed Han for an explanation, the close circles protested, saying, "Killing Han Dong-hoon."

Suspicion of the so-called "party member bulletin board" in which representative Han Dong-hoon and his family posted messages of raw slander against President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife on an anonymous bulletin board.
Last week, the party's legal advisory committee looked at all 1,068 posts in the name of Han and his family, and the party's leadership found that the problematic posts were 12 under the name of Han Dong-hoon, the same name.
The party leadership pointed out that even that is difficult to legally take issue with, and that investigation into anonymous bulletin boards could undermine freedom of expression.

However, pressure is mounting for the representative, centered on the pro-Yoon-gye, to clarify whether he is involved in his family.
Rep. Kim Eun-hye, a former senior presidential secretary for public relations at the presidential office, said, "Representative Han is avoiding easy confirmation," and asked, "Is that why the family wrote it or not?"
Former Supreme Council member Jang Ye-chan also pointed out, "Unlike when criticizing others, what logic is it that one cannot check one's family problems unless they are illegal?"
Rep. Kang Seung-gyu,
also called for a fact-finding mission through party-level audits and requests for investigation.
In response, Shin Ji-ho, head of the Strategic Planning Department, called the incident "Killing Han Dong-hoon" and refuted that it is a matter that will soon subside, just like the controversy over ignoring Kim Gun-hee's text messages in the past.Representative
is also reticent, saying that the truth will be revealed through the investigation, but it is known that the attack on him will continue even if the facts are revealed around him.

Chin-gye, who sees the controversy as shaking up the party's leader, believes that the controversy over the post will be resolved through a full investigation of the post and legal response to the spread of false information, but pro-Yoon-gye's opposition to Han's clear explanation is expected to continue.
