"I won't testify." Lee Sangmin, who refused to take the oath...a tightly closed mouth [now news]

The first hearing of the National Assembly's Special Committee on Investigation of State Affairs on Alleged Insurrection by the Yoon Suk Yeol Government's Declaration of Emergency Security was held on the 22nd.

Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, Justice Minister Park Sung-jae, Foreign Minister Cho Tae-yeol, Health and Welfare Minister Cho Kyu-hong and Unification Minister Kim Young-ho attended the hearing.

Former Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min also attended the hearing, but he repeatedly answered to lawmakers' questions, "I will not testify."

At the hearing, ruling party lawmakers focused on arguing that the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit's investigation into the alleged civil war against Yoon Suk Yeol's president was unfair and that the arrest investigation was illegal.

Park Joon-tae, a member of the People's Power, called on Kim Sung-hoon, deputy chief of security, to respond confidently, saying, "In what capacity is the Senior Civil Servant Corruption Investigations Unit, which conducts expedient and illegal investigations without legal grounds, saying, 'The police department has committed illegal acts and will catch and investigate all the bodyguards?'"

The ruling party also criticized the opposition party's insistence that the military investigate allegations of planning to strike the origin of the filth balloon ahead of martial law as "alleged foreign exchange attraction" could dampen military activity.

On the other hand, the opposition party raised suspicions that the martial law conspiracy may have included cyber psychological warfare.

Choo Mi-ae of the Democratic Party of Korea said, "The Yoon Suk Yeol emphasized 'offensive activities' to the commander of the military cyber operations at the Cyber Summit Korea event in September last year, and the cyber commander later operated the Cyber Reconnaissance TF with 28 elite cyber agents," adding, "Isn't the cyber company trying to engage in a psychological war with the National Intelligence Service?"

Yoon Gun-young of the same party said, "On the evening of December 6 last year, Lee Chan-kyu, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office's public investigation department, summoned former Minister Kim Yong-hyun to attend the prosecution twice by phone, and I received a tip that former Minister Kim replied, "I will talk to you after the phone call with the president."

Lawmaker Yoon continued, "According to the report, the Yoon Suk Yeol responded to former Minister Kim to 'consult with Kim Joo-hyun, the senior presidential secretary for civil affairs,'" adding, "President Yoon is behind former Minister Kim's 'self-attendance' in the early morning of the 8th."

The special committee issued an accompanying order for seven people, including President Yoon Suk Yeol, former Defense Minister Kim and former intelligence commander Roh Sang-won, who were adopted as witnesses for the hearing but did not attend.
