[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jihwan] Yoon Seokheon, Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service (FSS), stated that he is "not influenced at all" in carrying out supervisory duties regarding suspicions that a Blue House official was involved in the Lime Asset Management and Optimus Asset Management private fund redemption suspension incidents.

On the 13th, during the National Assembly's National Audit of the FSS by the Political Affairs Committee, Yoon responded to a question from People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Jaeok, who pointed out, "Isn't it the case that the supervisory function of the FSS did not work properly due to the involvement of a Blue House official?"

Regarding the question, "There are talks that the Blue House Civil Affairs Office's inspection of the FSS placed a burden on the private fund investigation," Governor Yoon denied, saying, "That is absolutely not true."

Additionally, in response to a question from the same party's lawmaker Seong Iljong, "Have you ever communicated or met with former Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs Lee Heonjae, who served as an advisor to Optimus Asset Management, or former Nara Bank President Yang Ho?" Yoon answered, "I have never done so."
