[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Seo Beom-su, a member of the Future United Party, pointed out that there is a high possibility that the fact of the accusation against the late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon was leaked from the Blue House.

On the 21st, Seo appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' and said, "It either leaked from the National Situation Room to Mayor Park's side or through the information IOs around there."

Regarding the suspicion that the police are being suspected of leaking the accusation fact to the late Mayor Park, he said, "The parts that could have leaked are the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency and the National Police Agency, but if it is the National Police Agency and the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, it is almost impossible to leak within the investigation or reporting line," and added, "If it were to happen, those people would be the first to be pointed out."

Seo explained, "I am just speculating a bit and see the possibility that the report was made up to the Blue House's National Situation Room, and it leaked from the National Situation Room to Mayor Park Won-soon," and added, "Or there is an information IO in charge of Seoul City Hall around there, and there is also an intelligence detective dispatched as a business liaison officer to the Seoul Mayor's Secretariat, so I think it might have leaked through that person."

Kim Chang-ryong, the nominee for Commissioner of the National Police Agency, maintained the position at the confirmation hearing that "since the deceased has passed away, the case must be concluded as no prosecution." Regarding this, Seo said, "Legally, that may be correct, but the public has many suspicions and a lot of interest," and emphasized the need for investigation by saying, "In 2019, President Moon Jae-in also ordered the Ministry of Justice to reinvestigate the cases of Vice Minister Kim Hak-ui and the Jang Ja-yeon case, instructing the prosecution and police to investigate with their lives on the line regardless of the statute of limitations."
