[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Do-eup, a member of the Future United Party, raised his voice, saying, "The Democratic Party's seizure of the Chairmanship of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee was ultimately aimed at 'saving Han Myeong-sook' through the control of the judiciary."

On the 18th, Kim stated in a press release, "Is saving former Prime Minister Han, who was sentenced to prison for accepting illegal political funds, what the Democratic Party calls a working National Assembly?"

He pointed out, "On the 15th, the Democratic Party, claiming to create a working National Assembly, completely disregarded the tradition of bipartisan cooperation that has been passed down since the Constituent Assembly and forcibly took over the Chairmanship of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee. As soon as the Legislation and Judiciary Committee meeting began on the 18th, Chairman Yoon Ho-jung and all Democratic Party members of the committee immediately united in saving former Prime Minister Han."

Kim criticized, "Former Prime Minister Han was indicted on charges of accepting illegal political funds while serving as a member of the National Assembly in 2015 and was found guilty by the Supreme Court. If former Prime Minister Han truly feels wronged by the unanimous guilty verdict of the Supreme Court justices, she should quietly file for a retrial according to the law to clearly prove her innocence. Nevertheless, Democratic Party members of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee are leading the charge in raising suspicions and fostering distrust in the judiciary."
