[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon expressed his intention to take legal action, stating that false information related to the Channel A case was spread in the People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy's (PSPD) 'Four Years of Moon Jae-in Government Prosecutor Report.'

In a statement released on the 10th, Prosecutor Han said, "Despite the truth that the investigation team found no charges nine times, proving innocence, PSPD is still maliciously spreading the false frame and misinformation they hoped for," adding, "We will consider legal action against Media Today, which falsely reported as if PSPD said things they did not."

PSPD claimed in the report published the day before that regarding the so-called 'media collusion' suspicion case, "If it is true that Prosecutor Han Dong-hoon was involved as known, this could be a case of evidence fabrication aimed at achieving political objectives through the criminal punishment of a specific individual."

Prosecutor Han criticized, "I do not understand why PSPD, which should monitor the judicial system, does not properly address issues such as Jeong Jin-woong's abuse of authority, Chu Mi-ae's disclosure of suspect information and investigation status, the collusion between whistleblower 'X' and certain media, and the promotions of those involved in abuse of authority," adding, "Criticizing these issues is precisely PSPD's main role."

He continued, "PSPD is using hypothetical statements like 'if it were true' while spreading false information out of fear of legal responsibility," and added, "If that's the case, I ask whether it is acceptable to speak of PSPD's disastrous loss of credibility using a hypothetical like 'if PSPD had colluded with certain powers.'"
