He expressed his position that he would actively cooperate with the prosecution's search and seizure of the company.
However, internally, they are paying keen attention to the possibility of expanding the prosecution's investigation, raising tensions over how far the aftermath will reach.

Representative Han Dong-hoon, who was attending a party debate when the prosecution launched a search and seizure of the People's Power Party,
During the
meeting, he was seen leaving the office several times and receiving calls.
A representative, who met with reporters after the debate, said he would cooperate within the scope of the warrant issued.
[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: We are also in political activities as a political party. I received a report that I would comply with the law to the extent that it did not harm the nature of political activity.]
The party's legal advisory committee also said it will carefully review the contents, scope and enforcement methods of the warrant and respond to them to be handled in accordance with laws and principles.
Although the warrant was executed in a calm atmosphere, it is also evident that they are embarrassed by the unusual situation in which the central headquarters of the ruling party is being raided.
After the seizure and search were reported, several lawmakers, including the party secretary-general, urgently visited the site.
A party official explained that there have been several requests from the prosecution to submit data recently, but they said there should be a warrant because it is confidential.
However, he added that it is a principle to discard related data after the nomination is completed.
[Kim Sang-wook / People's Power: We can't give you the discarded data because we don't have it. Also, from our point of view, we cannot allow the search and seizure to open up unnecessary parts of our party.]
As the prosecution launched a forced investigation into the ruling party over suspicions of Myung Tae-kyun's intervention in the nomination, there are not many voices in the party concerned about the impact.
As the party's internal feud is intensifying due to the controversy over the party's bulletin board, confusion in the ruling party is expected to be inevitable for the time being.
