[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, evaluated the late Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee, who passed away on the 25th, saying, "He made a great contribution to Samsung Electronics growing into a brand representing the Republic of Korea."

Chairman Kim said on the morning of the 26th, after the Emergency Committee meeting held at the National Assembly, "Chairman Lee greatly contributed to raising Samsung Electronics' global status and developing it into a brand that can represent the Republic of Korea."

Chairman Kim is scheduled to pay his respects at Chairman Lee's funeral hall around 2 p.m. that day. Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the People Power Party, will also visit the funeral hall separately.

Regarding the Lime and Optimus scandal special prosecutor, he said, "After watching the National Assembly inspection of the Prosecutor General, no matter how fairly the prosecution investigates now, there will be few people who trust the results," adding, "I think it would be wise to accept a special prosecutor for the so-called government as well."
