Yoon Sang-hyun, "I never told you that President Yoon is the nominee for Kim Young-sun."

Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People's Power, repeatedly refuted that he had never received a call from Yoon Suk Yeol President Kim Young-sun to nominate him when he was the chairman of the nomination management committee for the by-elections in May 2022.

Lawmaker Yoon met with reporters during the general meeting of lawmakers and said that nine members of the mission were always nominated by procedures and principles.

He then reiterated that he was not swayed by the president's grandfather, not the president, saying that he was the chairman of the mission committee during the former president Park Geun Hye, and that he was nominated by principles and standards.

Earlier, the prosecution reportedly secured an additional recording of the call between President Yoon and his wife and Myung Tae-kyun, which reportedly included a statement that President Yoon would directly ask Representative Yoon to nominate former lawmaker Kim Young-sun.
