[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Cho Su-jin, Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, targeted broadcaster Kim Eo-jun, who described the interview with the wife of former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol as "politically hard to accept," saying, "If it's acceptance, then acceptance, but what on earth is 'political acceptance'?"

On the 1st, Supreme Council Member Cho referred to Kim's TBS radio show 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' as 'News Fabrication' on Facebook and sarcastically said, "It seems that 'Julie’s friend' might soon appear on News Fabrication. Just like the 'Saengtae-tang' during the April 7 Seoul mayoral by-election."

Previously, during the Seoul mayoral by-election, Kim invited Hwang, the owner of an ecological soup restaurant near Naegok-dong, related to the 'Naegok-dong land suspicion' involving Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate, and broadcasted that "Candidate Oh had visited the land surveying site of his in-laws' land in Naegok-dong."

Hwang claimed, "Candidate Oh came to Naegok-dong and even stopped by the restaurant to eat ecological soup." In response, Mayor Oh stated, "At that time, only my brother-in-law went to the site; I did not attend," and Hwang initially planned to hold a related press conference but suddenly canceled it.

Regarding this, Supreme Council Member Cho criticized, "Kim Eo-jun's political fabrication workshop is desperately trying to cook up 'Saengtae-tang'." The fact that Supreme Council Member Cho mentioned 'Saengtae-tang' again is interpreted as pointing out that Kim might mobilize guests to carry out 'fabrications' related to suspicions about former Prosecutor General Yoon’s wife’s past, just like during the Seoul mayoral by-election.

Earlier, on the radio that day, Kim pointed out that former Prosecutor General Yoon’s wife directly refuted the suspicion of being a hostess at an entertainment establishment called 'Julie' by saying, "I understand this as a preemptive response, but is this politically and strategically the right judgment?" He said, "There are points that are politically hard to accept," he pointed out.

Meanwhile, Kim Geon-hee, wife of former Prosecutor General Yoon, explained in an interview with a media outlet, "There are all sorts of ridiculous stories like me being Julie or a hotel hostess. This is just someone writing fiction," she said.
