[Asia Economy Reporter Bae Kyunghwan] It has been reported that Prosecutor General Han Dong-hoon, who is under investigation for the 'alleged collusion between prosecutors and media,' has expressed his intention to appear at the National Assembly audit session and testify to the facts.

On the 13th, Park Dae-chul, a member of the People Power Party, requested during a procedural statement at the National Assembly Science, Technology, Information and Broadcasting and Communications Committee audit, "Prosecutor Han himself has conveyed his willingness to appear as a witness and testify before the National Assembly," and asked for him to be accepted as a witness.

Park said, "He expressed his willingness to testify regarding the false reports by MBC and KBS on the prosecutors-media collusion incident and the allegations of disclosing suspect information," adding, "He voluntarily came forward to clear his grievances." He continued, "I request that he be accepted as a witness during the comprehensive audit including the Korea Communications Commission on the 23rd," and added, "This is not a political conflict between the ruling and opposition parties, but an effort to reveal the substantive truth related to the false reports."

Earlier, Choo Mi-ae, Minister of Justice, said at the Legislation and Judiciary Committee audit held at the National Assembly the previous day, "If Prosecutor Han feels wronged, he should cooperate with the investigation."

Meanwhile, Lee Won-wook, chairman of the Science and Broadcasting Committee, said, "We will discuss it in the party coordinators' meeting."
