The court held its first trial against five people, including Myung and former lawmaker Kim Young-sun.

has denied all charges as previously stated.

In particular, there are many legal disputes regarding evidence concealment teachers, signaling a fierce battle.An interrogation was also held on bail claims requested by

for health reasons, and the lawyer argued that the reason for the arrest had already disappeared by submitting a 'golden phone' to the prosecution.

[Nam Sang-kwon/Myeong Tae-gyun's lawyer: I think it's going to be very helpful to our bail hearing. The fear of destroying evidence has been removed.

The two are accused of exchanging 80 million won in exchange for nomination in the 2022 by-election of Uichang members of the National Assembly in Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province.

The next trial will be held at 3 p.m. on January 20 next year as a preparatory date for the trial.
