◇Anchor> The presidential office asked the lawmakers who gathered in front of the residence to eat rice cake soup. We talked about this. Is it true?

◆Shin Ji-ho> Representative Kim Ki-hyun seemed to confirm it like that. How about eating rice cake soup together? However, I refused because I thought that eating together could lead to various misunderstandings and negatively affect the overall image of people, but about rice cake soup, that's the case. But up until then, I was in my official residence. Then, if you ran away, it means you did it after the rice cake soup incident, but I feel really ashamed to hear that kind of talk. If President Yoon ran away, it is very likely that he will lose the energy of his supporters or the support of lawmakers who have the power of the people. The reason is that as Representative Kim Hyung-joo said well just now, this is not a state of war with any enemy. Then the head of state may flee in an emergency. It's not like that. This situation was caused by the situation you triggered. And 40 or tens of thousands of lawmakers and tens of thousands of protesters are running in front of their houses despite the cold weather, and where are they running away? That can't happen.

◇Anchor> This can't happen. Both of you said that the escape report was not reliable. On the other hand, there are not a few voices of criticism, especially from the first-term lawmakers of the ruling party, over the 40 lawmakers who ran in front of the presidential residence. I'll continue the conversation after hearing that.

[Han Ji-ah / Member of the People's Power (SBS 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show'): I'm not going. The act of lawmakers, who are constitutional institutions, physically trying to interfere with the investigation process is not only a violation of the spirit of the Constitution, but as I said earlier, history sees it. (The leadership should not attend, what do you think of the leadership's position?) I'm very fortunate that the leadership has said that they should not attend, of course. If the party didn't let me go, would they have gone? I think some kind of guidance was still needed.

[Kim Jae-seop / People's Power (CBS 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show'): I think we're in a bit of a mess about this unprecedented situation. As a result, the position has changed little by little, and it seems that they are listing this from Maeng Yoon to Ban Yoon starting with President Yoon Suk Yeol. (Why do they think they do that?) Especially in the case of lawmaker Yoon Sang-hyun, recognizing martial law as a high-level political act is not a matter of pro-yoon or Ban Yoon, but a matter of common sense and common sense. Are you thinking about the presidential election? Rep. Yoon?) What's the point of becoming a presidential candidate like that? I don't even know if that's how I can get the support of the people.]

◇Anchor> According to today's report, floor leader Kwon Sung-dong has set a policy that the leadership will never go before the presidential residence. In response to this, Rep. Han Ji-ah said, "If so, the party should stop lawmakers from going to the front of the official residence," and she said that the leadership should not just distance itself, but should come forward and prevent it. What position do you see the party leadership in now?

◆Kim Hyung-joo> Basically, the party leadership is not willing to stop it, already. As far as I'm concerned. However, it keeps a little distance from being seen as a group. In other words, we're saying that we can't stop it from going individually, but basically, the president's position and the leadership's position are almost the same anyway. The position of floor leader Kwon Sung-dong and emergency committee chairman Kwon also. Also, in a broad sense, the executives and supreme council members may have been leadership or leadership, but didn't they go? It belonged to the party's leadership system, at least if individual lawmakers went to that part. And another one, Kim Min-jeon is the best. Now the supreme council system is broken.E. They are also representing and instigating the president's position in a very active sense. He goes up to the stage and speaks, holding the microphone. I think it's a very dangerous situation.
