Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, is facing his second "judicial risk" today, 10 days after being convicted of the Public Official Election Act due to the first trial of perjury teacher charges.

The Democratic Party of Korea has pleaded not guilty, calling it a "judicial murder" aimed at representative Lee, but launched an offensive, saying that the power of the people is no longer a risk but is leading to judicial treatment in reality.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Son Hyo-jung!

First, please tell us the Democratic Party atmosphere.

[Reporter]
The Democratic Party of Korea is claiming Lee's innocence in one voice, defining the prosecution's investigation and trial targeting Lee as a "judicial murder."

They say there was no perjury or teacher, and that it is only a political indictment targeting the leader of the opposition party.

However, there are many concerns that they cannot guarantee innocence in this sentence at a time when the first trial of violation of the Public Official Election Act on the 15th showed heavier-than-expected deprivation of the right to run for election.

In a phone call with YTN, an official from Lee's side said there is a possibility that an unexpected ruling will come out again this time due to the ridiculous blow last time.

Representative Lee Jae-myung asked lawmakers to refrain from seeing him off, but many lawmakers are expected to stand in front of the court today, waiting for the results of Lee's sentence.

Representative Lee has refrained from making remarks that could provoke his judicial risks or the judiciary.

Even last night ahead of the trial, he seems to be focusing on pending messages on people's livelihoods by proposing a "debate to revise the commercial law" on social media.

Once the Democratic Party of Korea's single team centered on Lee seems solid, but if he is sentenced to deprivation of his right to vote every 10 days, the blow seems inevitable.

As doubts are raised about Lee's presidential bid, some predict that the move to seek alternatives for Lee will also begin in earnest.

Yes, then let's look at the ruling party's atmosphere, which has been highlighting representative Lee's judicial risks every day.

[Reporter]
Yes, the power of the people is the opposite of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying that representative Lee will not only be guilty but also be sentenced to a heavier sentence.

Representative Han Dong-hoon said he would watch the trial calmly at the Supreme Council a while ago, but pointed out that representative Lee's judicial risk is no longer a "risk" but is leading to judicial treatment in reality.

Rep. Song Seok-joon also said in a radio interview that the court will strictly judge according to legal principles, facts, and evidence, and that he expects the judiciary to show its existence again.

Some ruling party lawmakers publicly said they would be sentenced to "two years in prison."

The passport is also paying attention to the results of the representative sentence.

If Representative Lee is convicted today following the 15th, it can be used as an opportunity to rebound the government and the ruling party's support tax rate and turn the tide.

However, with the controversy over the party's bulletin board surrounding representative Han Dong-hoon unabated, the spread of factional conflict remains a detonator.There is strong pressure from the pro-Yoon-gye to explain the allegation that President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife were posted on the anonymous party bulletin board in the name of a representative

and his family.

A close-knit lawmaker warned that if representative Lee Jae-myung flies away, the ruling party will say that representative Han Dong-hoon may not be needed as a presidential candidate.

So far, I'm Son Hyo-jung of YTN in the National Assembly.
