It's time for "Focus Night" to point out the news of political interest. Today, Hong Seok-joon, a former member of the People's Power, and Shin Hyun-young, a former member of the Democratic Party, are here. How are you? The key figures in the alleged intervention of the nomination, Myung Tae-kyun and former lawmaker Kim Young-sun, have been put on trial on charges of violating the Political Fund Act. Specifically, former lawmaker Kim was charged with exchanging 80.7 million won through Kang Hye-kyung in connection with Kim's recommendation as a candidate for Changwon Uichang National Assembly.

[Hong Seok-jun]
We have confirmed what the prosecution has been steadily investigating regarding Myung Tae-kyun and have now been arrested and charged. In the end, it seems that the preliminary candidates were prosecuted like this during the last nomination process, but Myung Tae-kyun is saying that what's interesting is cutting the tail that makes it a miscellaneous offender, but are you a miscellaneous offender? Specific matters should be discussed in the future at the trial.

[Anchor]
What did you think of Representative Shin?

[Hyunyoung Shin]
I think it's a previously predicted issue. So, as expected, former lawmaker Kim Young-sun and Myung Tae-kyun were indicted today, but now only the political funds law has been prosecuted. In addition, the investigation is bound to grow as various situations of intervention in nomination or manipulation of public opinion, the power of the people, and the election in the government and the ruling party are still coming out in various ways. That's why I think it's just the beginning. It will be difficult to do so for the person in charge of Myeong Tae-kyun who is trying to cover up the case by cutting the tail because of himself, as he is now protesting. Since the public is interested and the media is watching, if the prosecution does not investigate properly, the prosecution, Jung Won-jung, and the prosecution may be criticized for their collusion in the Changwon District Prosecutors' Office. So I can say that I'm looking forward to the future more.

[Anchor]
As you can see on the screen, we are prosecuting the prosecution, so we sincerely ask for a special prosecutor by issuing a statement in prison today. I made myself a miscellaneous offender and went into cutting my tail, but I think I had some complaints during the prosecution investigation.

[Hong Seok-jun]
Maybe because the Democratic Party of Korea has been talking about the special prosecution so much, Myung Tae-kyun is also asking for a special prosecution right now. As if a thief or a robber is covering up the police, you can't call him A, but call him B. Isn't this what it looks like? In the end, I don't know if there's anything unfair like that, saying that Myung Tae-kyun didn't accept the money directly. In the end, Kang Hye-kyung might have claimed that she did this, but these issues are a matter of contention at trial. However, I feel a bit bitter about how much the special prosecution is being caricatured by the fact that people like Myung Tae-kyun keep demanding an independent counsel.

[Anchor] Another charge was added to
people. There's an additional charge of concealing evidence, so this must be related to a cell phone, right?

[Hyunyoung Shin]
That's right. There are debates about whether there is a so-called "golden phone" or whether it has already been discarded and disappeared. This is a golden phone because Myung Tae-kyun directly revealed that the circumstances, text messages, and phone calls of his own are in the golden phone, and he requested it to be discarded through his brother-in-law. Is this a golden phone? Then, whether the prosecution can secure it or conduct a broader investigation with it, there will be a key point in this area. There are gestures like Myung Tae-kyun referring to the golden phone and sending a signature to the presidential office by leaning on it. This, of course, is something that the prosecution should actively clarify, as it is a part that can broaden the scope of many, many other investigations than it has now been revealed. And Kang Hye-kyung already received the PC from Myung Tae-kyun and handed it over to the prosecution, and many parts are becoming forensics there. That's why I'm looking forward to the parts that I want them to be properly revealed without being covered.

[Anchor]
So yesterday, Myung Tae-kyun's lawyer said something quite ironic about this golden phone, but he said he didn't have a cell phone, but if he had one, he would not submit it to the prosecution, but to the media or the Democratic Party. How do you interpret this?

[Hong Seok-jun]
I also think that's a little ironic, but isn't the Democratic Party continuing to release the recordings of Myung Tae-kyun and others talking from the Democratic Party one day a day? Therefore, from my perspective, I think the Democratic Party approached Myung Tae-kyun or a person related to Myung Tae-kyun and secured a large part of the recording. I don't know if it's the so-called golden phone we're talking about right now, but there's definitely a connection between the Democratic Party of Korea and Myung Tae-kyun or Myung Tae-kyun's acquaintance. Otherwise, the Democratic Party can continue to release transcripts like this.

[Anchor]
So, in a situation where I was very curious about whether there was a fact or not, the prosecution first added a charge of concealing evidence. Not an evidence-destroying teacher. So, the prosecution seems to believe that it was hidden, not discarded.

[Hyunyoung Shin]
Myung Tae-kyun did that a long time ago. Didn't you say that my lawyer is my phone? Since there are so many circumstances on this cell phone, the moment it is discarded, Myung Tae-kyun would have thought that something to protect him disappeared. That's why I keep mentioning this existence, but I've always expressed the possibility that I can judge myself by looking at the prosecution's investigation and the response of the president's office. That's why I think there must be a place somewhere because it's hidden. And since it is difficult for his brother-in-law to investigate in any way, the more unfavorable his prosecution's investigation, investigation, or trial is, the more likely he is to disclose them. In fact, it is important to protect himself by disclosing them to the Democratic Party or the media and doing what they are transparently because the prosecution can conduct such a selective and selective investigation when provided to the prosecution. And I think he thinks about his defamation a lot. Referring to our youngest daughter, I want to be a proud father again this time. That's why I think the special prosecutor made that position today because he believes it is more appropriate.

[Anchor]
That's what I'm saying. In many ways, it seems that the prosecution is turning its back on the prosecution's investigation. He said he wouldn't submit his cell phone to the prosecution, and he asked for an independent counsel's investigation. As Representative Shin briefly mentioned a while ago, there are various suspicions such as the Changwon National Industrial Complex issue, recruitment requests, public opinion manipulation, and so on.In fact, since President Yoon and his wife are involved in suspicions of meddling in the nomination, how far can the prosecution investigate, how much do you think about this?

[Hong Seok-jun]
Since we have gained more comprehensive time on the Changwon Industrial Complex issue, intervention in nominations, and manipulation of public opinion, we will probably conduct a broad investigation into all the more raised suspicions. So, if there is some clue, it becomes a process for additional prosecution, but at this point, the prosecution has no such hard evidence to prosecute other than explicitly receiving the money, so the investigation under further trial will eventually determine it.

[Anchor]
I see. In the meantime, the Democratic Party of Korea released an additional transcript of Myung Tae-kyun, targeting floor leader Choo Kyung-ho. However, floor leader Choo strongly protested this, calling it fake news, but let's hear what kind of recording it was.

[Myeong Tae Gyun: What did Park say?] ]

[Kim Tae-yeol / Director of Future Korea Research Institute: Choo Kyung-ho ate 20 during the last election.... Choo Kyung-ho did it for me last time. This time, go and negotiate and throw 10 checks instead of just cash. ]

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader: The news itself is a ridiculous fake news. I'm the first person to know Myung Tae-kyun's name after hearing the news recently as it became a problem. Thankfully, the Moon Jae In government has raised the official land price due to soaring housing prices, and the part I received from an adult has been explained until the (Minister of Economy) hearing by proving that I paid taxes to the National Tax Service. Cho Sung-je's candidate was our city councilman at the time. The only person I know by name is him, and the rest of the people I don't know. ]

[Anchor]
I came over to the studio in the middle of the show. Please understand. For those who didn't hear it because it went too fast, the phone recording was recorded with Myung Tae-kyun and Kim Tae-yeol, who was the director of the Future Korea Research Institute at the time. Kim Tae-yeol. It was a phone call between the two, and some mention that Kim Tae-yeol ate 20 of them. However, the Democratic Party of Korea is now claiming that the candidate for Dalseong-gun, who ran in the 2018 local elections, provided 2 billion won to floor leader Choo at the time.

[Hong Seok-jun]
I know the contents because the district is right next to it, but that's when we talked now in March 2022. As of March 2022, while talking about local elections, four years ago, in 2018, then lawmaker Cho Sung-je received a single nomination, and then lawmaker Cho Sung-je provided 2 billion won to lawmaker Choo Kyung-ho. In this way, the Democratic Party of Korea is interpreting this recording. I'm interpreting it, but in common sense, the story between these two is an issue that I can't accurately judge the situation at the time. So, aren't these two talking about Kim Tae-yeol and Myung Tae-kyun in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do? That's why we're talking from the standpoint of four or five parties, not three parties. That's why the reliability of this content is not reliable at all, and we also talk about it until 2022, but this doesn't work because lawmaker Cho Sung-je didn't get the nomination at that time. So, the conclusion is that these recordings that Myung Tae-kyun is talking to a third party, not the parties, are now spreading to many people, such as Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Mayor Hong Joon Pyo, and the Democratic Party seems to be releasing new recordings every day in anticipation of those things.

[Anchor]
I see. There are so many people in the middle of this recording. Kim Tae-yeol, Myung Tae-kyun, who is on the phone, Cho Sung-je, and Park Je-ki, who is his acquaintance, are all in this situation.

[Hyunyoung Shin]
We need to investigate this, too. And I think it is necessary to clarify the circumstances in which Kim Tae-yeol and Myung Tae-kyun had this conversation. So I don't think there's any basis for this, but I can't say that they gave me 20 of these things. And Cho Sung-je, the preliminary candidate, was eventually nominated in 2018, right? Of course, he didn't win the election, but he won the nomination, and I think he should be able to verify what the price was. Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho disclosed 1.4 billion won in 2016 when looking at the process of expanding the property. And then it increases to 4 billion in 22. So, 2.6 billion won increased in six years. Of course, during the hearing of the Minister of Economy and Finance, some of this was explained. However, since it is a hearing, lawmakers have no choice but to explain it with some circumstances, such as salary, savings, gift, and rising public land prices of real estate in Gangnam, which can be confirmed by 2.6 billion won over the past six years. Therefore, it is necessary to verify it properly this time, as it can be confirmed by checking the official land price through data and the withholding of salaries. As floor leader Choo Kyung-ho strongly denies it, proving that it is fake news with an objective basis is still being sued by Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Mayor of Hong Joon Pyo, right? In this regard, I don't think there are many big politicians left with the power of the free people. I think it needs to be clarified.

[Hong Seok-jun]
But in fact, Representative Shin just said that the property in 2016 and over six years in 2022, but in fact, he already revealed it at the hearing. Will the hearing be passed without revealing that much at the hearing? As Rep. Choo Kyung-ho said, some of the donation parts, land, and land price increases, isn't this very simple? If there was any doubt about it, it would have been a very problem. As far as I remember, the Minister of Economy and Finance's hearing was not an issue due to the increase in assets. So, once again, I heard it from Park in the middle, not from Myung Tae-kyun and Kim Tae-yeol. Isn't this how you're talking about it? So it seems to be a conversation between three and four parties that is not reliable at all.

[Anchor]
And floor leader Choo Kyung-ho. Daegu Mayor Hong Joon Pyo was mentioned in the transcript, and what Myung Tae-kyun said was that I made all the milkyang rice for the election. I used the expression that Cho Sung-je, who I mentioned earlier, was attached to Daegu Mayor of Hong Joon Pyo. The Democratic Party of Korea interpreted this as saying, "Didn't you try to connect Mayor Hong's campaign funds through Cho?" Daegu Mayor Hong Joon Pyo jumped right now on Facebook. Why is there no connection or phone recording with the Hong Joon Pyo himself? If you attack me wrong, I will become a boomerang and fight back more than 10 times, he even threatened.

[Hyunyoung Shin]
In fact, this is an unreliable position expression until it is confirmed. In the past, Myung Tae-kyun received a security number for a poll, and it was revealed through Myung Tae-kyun that he received it at the Hong Joon Pyo camp, and even at that time, the mayor of Hong Joon Pyo was running wild. But it turned out that what a close aide in the camp delivered was correct, so he slipped down such contents on Facebook. So, I don't know if Myung Tae-kyun was involved in the Hong Joon Pyo mayoral election, but of course, it could have been a direct help to the candidate, Mayor Hong Joon Pyo, or indirect help through his aides. Usually, if you say you gave indirect help, you don't recognize it, so it seems that you are clearly expressing your position about what you are doing to me in this area, but no one knows how transparent your management has become, and there are many things that are exaggerated but true about Myung Tae-kyun's various remarks. In that sense, the Hong Joon Pyo market is not 100% free right now. I think we need to investigate a little more and look into it.

[Hong Seok-jun]
But in my view, this is really not worth a moment. This is all that Myung Tae-kyun said to me that he made me prepare for the election. Myung Tae-kyun doesn't have money, and then he doesn't have any meaning to deliver with someone else's money. Mayor Hong Joon Pyo received political funds from Myung Tae-kyun just because he said, "I made military rice for you to hold the election," and "I said this with Kim Tae-yeol." To speculate like this...

[Anchor]
Cho Sung-je appears again there, and he attached Cho Sung-je to Mayor Hong Joon Pyo at the time, and that's what he said.

[Hong Seok-jun]
So as I told you, I won the nomination in 2018, but I didn't get the nomination itself in 2022. So, this means that Cho Sung-je gave money to Myung Tae-kyun, and Myung Tae-kyun gave political funds to the mayor of Hong Joon Pyo and to the lawmaker at the time.

[Anchor]
I see. It's in the middle. It's in the middle. The person who appears in Myung Tae-kyun's transcript is Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, who held a press conference today and announced his position to sue Myung Tae-kyun and Kang Hye-kyung. I'll listen to it myself.

[Oh Se-hoon / Seoul Mayor] Recently, Myung Tae-kyun and Kang Hye-kyung have confessed their crimes to themselves. They have shown behaviors reminiscent of department stores of public opinion manipulation, such as weight manipulation, sample mixing, so-called marker grinding, and generating 100% false data without polls. The nature of the matter is simple. Fraud groups such as Myung Tae-kyun and Kim Young-sun approached Oh Se-hoon's camp with the intent of fraud baiting public opinion polls, but our camp firmly defeated and walked the line. (They) deceived Kim Han-jung and others who were not aware of the manipulation to extort money. ]

[Anchor]
Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon said he would submit a complaint, refuting allegations that he received help from Myung during the 2021 Seoul mayoral by-election. Wait, let's go to the presidential office briefing site.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President]
My fellow citizens. As president, I appeal to the people with the feeling of vomiting blood. So far, the National Assembly has proposed 22 impeachment cases of government officials since the inauguration of the Korean government, and has been seeking impeachment for the 10th time since the 22nd National Assembly was launched in June. This is not only unprecedented in any country in the world, but also unprecedented since the founding of our country. It has paralyzed judicial work by intimidating judges and impeaching a number of prosecutors, and is paralyzing the administration by impeaching the minister of the Interior and Safety, impeaching the chief of the Korea Communications Standards Commission, impeaching the chief of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and attempting to impeach the defense secretary. The handling of the national budget also cut all major budgets for the essential functions of the state, cracking down on drug crimes, and maintaining public security, undermining the essential functions of the state and leaving the Republic of Korea in a state of drug heaven and public security panic. The Democratic Party of Korea cut 1 trillion won in reserve funds for disaster countermeasures, 38.4 billion won in childcare support allowance, youth jobs, and 4.1 trillion won in deep-sea gas field development projects from next year's budget. Even the cost of improving the treatment of military officials, such as raising salaries and allowances for junior military officials, and raising on-call service expenses, has been put on hold. In a word, this budget explosion is a joke on the national finances of the Republic of Korea. The Democratic Party's legislative dictatorship, which uses the budget only as a means of political strife, did not hesitate to impeach the budget. The state administration is paralyzed and the people's sighs are increasing. This is a clear anti-state act that tramples on the constitutional order of the Free Republic of Korea and disrupts the legitimate state institutions established by the Constitution and laws, plotting a civil war. The people's lives are not considered, and the state administration is paralyzed only by impeachment, special prosecution, and bulletproof by the opposition leader. Now, our National Assembly has become a den of criminal groups and is attempting to paralyze the nation's judicial administration system and overthrow the liberal democratic system through legislative dictatorship. The National Assembly, which should be the basis of liberal democracy, has become a monster that collapses the liberal democracy system. Now, Korea is in a state of fate that is not strange even if it collapses immediately. Dear citizens, I declare an emergency decree to defend the Republic of Korea, which is free from the threat of North Korean communist forces, to eradicate the unscrupulous pro-North Korean anti-state forces that are looting the freedom and happiness of our people at once, and to protect the order of freedom and constitution. I will rebuild and protect a free Korea that is falling into the abyss of ruin through this emergency decree. To this end, I will surely eradicate the anti-state forces that have been the main culprit of the ruin. This is an inevitable measure to ensure the freedom, safety, and national sustainability of the people from the anti-state forces seeking to overthrow the system, and to pass on a proper country to future generations. I will fight off anti-state forces and normalize the country as soon as possible. Due to the declaration of martial law, there will be some inconvenience to the good people who believed in and followed the constitutional values of the Free Republic of Korea.Ma will focus on minimizing this inconvenience. Such measures are inevitable for the permanence of a free Republic of Korea, and there is no change in the foreign policy stance that the Republic of Korea fulfills its responsibilities and contributions in the international community. As President, I sincerely appeal to the people. I will protect the free Republic of Korea by trusting only the people and dedicating my excitement to them. Please trust me. Thank you.

The emergency decree was declared through the president's emergency address to the nation. I started by saying that I appeal to the people with the feeling of vomiting blood. He said it is unprecedented since the foundation of the impeachment prosecution, which is being pursued by the opposition party. It was also referred to as a budget riot. President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared a state of emergency at 10:30 p.m. on December 3rd. Let's hear the president's voice again. The president made an urgent public statement. It was an unscheduled conversation. As I said earlier, let's hear the reason why the president declared emergency martial law once again with his own voice.

[Yoon Suk Yeol / President]
My fellow citizens. As president, I appeal to the people with the feeling of vomiting blood. So far, the National Assembly has proposed 22 impeachment cases of government officials since the inauguration of the Korean government, and has been seeking impeachment for the 10th time since the 22nd National Assembly was launched in June.

As you have just heard, President Yoon Suk Yeol has declared an emergency martial law. It was declared after 10:20 p.m. on December 3rd. You've heard that once again through the president's voice. In fact, it was a briefing that didn't exist until a while ago, and that briefing became the president's public conversation. We just heard about emergency martial law with our viewers. To briefly explain emergency martial law first, it refers to martial law that is declared when the president is in a state of war with the enemy in wartime, events, or similar national emergencies, or when it is remarkably difficult to perform administrative or judicial functions due to extreme disturbance in social order. So, before declaring an emergency martial law, I talked about various reasons, as you've heard now. We talked about the impeachment prosecution being pursued by the opposition party. The budget explosion, the first-ever opposition party tried to propose a reduced budget plan, but it was delayed to the 10th. such a situation And it's an anti-state act that corresponds to civil war, I used this expression. He expressed that he trampled on the constitutional order, disturbed state agencies, and planned civil war. There are still two people here. Former lawmaker Hong Seok-joon and former lawmaker Shin Hyun-young are now together. I was surprised. How did you like it?

[Hong Seok-jun]
I was surprised, too. It seems like a historic moment, after all, the President is now virtually paralyzing the state of affairs by the DPJ's impeachment of many ministers, prosecutors, especially the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, who is scheduled to be impeached tomorrow. Because if the impeachment is decided, the Constitutional Court is currently in a six-member system, so won't the job be suspended until the period when the decision will be made? That's why many ministries, especially the head of the Board of Audit and Inspection, have been suspended from their duties, and for the first time ever, the Democratic Party of Korea handled the reduction budget alone at the Budget and Accounts Committee on the day before yesterday. In fact, this is not only the first time in history, but it will make it very difficult for the president, especially ministers of various ministries, as the head of the executive branch, and he especially emphasized anti-state forces. At a time when the NIS does not have the right to investigate spies, many practical pro-North Korean spies exist, which are not working properly. That's why the president announced his determination to overcome this national situation as an emergency martial law, which is finally declared today, and specifically, the martial law commander, the region, and the basic rights of the rest of the people or how to limit the authority of each agency of the National Assembly, but before doing those things, he notifies the National Assembly. However, in Korea's constitution, if the majority of the constitutional members of the National Assembly demands the lifting, it must be lifted immediately. There's a clause like this. So in the end, I think the key is how the National Assembly, especially the people, will react to this.

[Anchor]
The vote on the impeachment motion against the command of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office is just a day away. In this situation, President Yoon Suk Yeol declared an emergency martial law, so how did Representative Shin hear it?

[Hyunyoung Shin]
It's quite shocking. In fact, it was unexpected, and did the current situation in Korea really cause a civil war? Is it really a state of emergency? So will the president even declare martial law? Will he be able to gain public sympathy in this regard? I think it will cause considerable controversy. As you said, a national emergency is threatened with the security of the country, the internal order collapses, or a disaster or emergency. According to the president's statement, it seems that he judged that the internal order is collapsing and it can even threaten security. At the same time, impeachment and budget rioting are martial law in the judgment that there is a criminal den in the National Assembly, and then pro-North Korean anti-state forces are the main culprit of the state and harm this civil war or security. Is that the situation we are now? Just because the National Assembly is in extreme confrontation with the strong, will the president be able to define it like this for the opposition party who opposes the ruling party? I think this is a statement that cannot get a serious consensus, so I'm very worried about whether it's a judgment that goes too far. In this regard, did the drug heaven really make the Republic of Korea a drug heaven because of the opposition party in the National Assembly? I can't relate to this either, so I can tell you that it's just amazing about the current situation, and it's really embarrassing to say anything to the point where I'm lost for words.

[Anchor]
Maybe just before this, when was martial law declared? I think it was during the Chun Doo-hwan administration. In May 18, 1980. It's 44 years ago, so there probably aren't many people who have experienced martial law and they can't remember it well. What changes when martial law is issued? All administrative and judicial affairs within the area where martial law was imposed are carried out by the military. I'm also looking up the internet right now. It will also be able to issue orders or take special measures against freedom of press publication, assembly, and association. If necessary, people can be selected and recruited, and those who commit crimes will be tried by a military court, and all criminal cases will be tried by military trials.
