[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] On the 17th, Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the Future United Party, criticized the court's dismissal of the warrant related to the investigation of the late Park Won-soon, former mayor of Seoul's mobile phone, calling it "an unprecedented attempt to conceal caused by judicial bias."

In a post on his Facebook on the same day, Rep. Kim said, "There is a concern that the administration is dragging out time, waiting for public anger to subside, and then quietly sweeping it under the rug, and this concern has become a reality."

Rep. Kim stated, "From the time this incident occurred, I insisted that the mayor's mobile phone should be seized and searched quickly," adding, "Although the police had secured the phone through voluntary submission, without a search warrant, evidence cannot be collected for investigating sexual crime perpetrators and those involved in concealing the crime."

He continued, "This dismissal of the warrant is either the police deliberately inducing the dismissal through inadequate investigation to evade responsibility, or a biased attempt by the court to conceal the truth, hurriedly looking out for power as in the cases of Lee Jae-myung, Eun Soo-mi, Yoo Jae-soo, and Oh Keo-don," he criticized.

He also pointed out, "Even at this moment commemorating Constitution Day, the arrogance of the Blue House and the ruling party, who believe that they can ignore the law and victim protection principles to protect their own people, is being blatantly revealed."

Rep. Kim added, "Before this administration further conceals the truth, it is time to hasten the appointment of a special prosecutor and conduct a parliamentary state investigation to clarify the truth without any suspicion."
