[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated regarding the allegations against Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, "The truth will be revealed through the prosecution's investigation," and added, "We will block the opposition party's political attacks."

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 14th, Lee said, "Yesterday, Minister Choo expressed her feelings and stance regarding the issue with her son," and "She shared family stories and her dedication to prosecutorial reform that we did not fully know."

He said, "Thanks to the efforts of party-affiliated lawmakers, many facts have become clear," and added, "However, the more definite truth will be revealed through the prosecution's investigation."

He continued, "I hope the prosecution conducts a thorough and swift investigation and publicly discloses the results," and emphasized, "I believe the political sphere should refrain from political strife, assist the prosecution's investigation, and wait for the results. However, if the opposition party continues political attacks, we will respond with facts and block them."

Lee also announced a 'strong mode' in anticipation of the upcoming government questioning session, where attacks against Minister Choo are expected to continue.

Lee said, "I hope the government questioning focuses on overcoming the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and supporting people's livelihoods," and added, "We will firmly block the opposition party's political attacks."
