[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] The camp of former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun denied on the 28th the allegations that they would openly confront Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung and release an audio file of Lee’s verbal abuse incident involving his sister-in-law, calling them “all false information” and stating, “There has been no communication in any form with the person who raised these rumors.”

The former Prime Minister’s camp issued a statement saying, “All the statements made by Jang Sung-chul, director of the Gonggam and Debate Policy Center, are false, and we inform you that there has been no communication in any form between Director Jang and the former Prime Minister’s camp.”

Director Jang appeared on MBC Radio’s ‘Pyo Chang-won’s News High Kick’ on the 26th and said, “I have heard indirectly that the former Prime Minister’s camp is considering playing an old audio recording of Lee Jae-myung verbally abusing his sister-in-law in order to damage his reputation and confront him.”

The former Prime Minister’s camp clearly stated, “We have no plans or preparations to attack or damage Governor Lee’s reputation regarding the verbal abuse incident,” and urged, “We demand a sincere apology, reflection, and withdrawal from the program from Director Jang Sung-chul, who spread false information.”
