[Asia Economy Reporter Nana] While the prosecution has dismissed the allegations against Minister Chu's son, members of the People Power Party are pouring criticism on 'Minister Chu's lies' and the 'prosecution investigation results.'

On the 30th, Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, strongly rebutted Minister Chu's statement that "irresponsible forces using political strife as a tool must bear strict responsibility," saying, "She must bear strict responsibility starting from lying to the public without batting an eye."

Jang criticized, "When Minister Chu's lies were exposed, instead of apologizing, she even threatened the public and the media," adding, "There is a saying that the one who farted gets angry."

He further stated, "If there is no proper apology for the lies Minister Chu told, we will take follow-up measures together with the public."

Choi Hyung-doo, the floor spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a verbal comment that day, "It has been revealed by the prosecution's announcement that Minister Chu sent the contact information of his son's military unit officer to his aide via KakaoTalk," criticizing, "Do not anger the people on Chuseok Day."

Choi pointed out, "Who among the public would believe the prosecution's investigation result that is the same as saying, 'I drank alcohol, but it was not drunk driving'?"

On the same day, he expressed his intention to request a reinvestigation by the prosecution and, if the reinvestigation is not properly carried out, to push for a special prosecutor.
