On the morning of the 24th, at the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, Nam said, “Reports by some media outlets claiming that I was informed about the accusation are not true.” She also requested, “I ask that speculative reporting be refrained from in the future.”

Im Sun-young, Seoul City’s Gender Special Advisor, who was the first to recognize and report the accusation against former Mayor Park, previously worked as an aide to Nam In-soon. This raised questions about whether Nam had prior knowledge of the related allegations. According to media reports on the day, Nam is said to have spoken with former Mayor Park on the 9th, the day he went missing.

After the meeting, Nam met with reporters and denied the repeatedly raised suspicions. She emphasized, “I said everything at the Supreme Council meeting and have nothing more to add. Didn’t I already say that I did not know about the accusation? I have nothing further to say.”
