[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, announced on the 2nd that he will file a complaint with the National Assembly Ethics Committee, claiming that Ahn Min-seok, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, sent him threatening text messages late at night.

On the same day, Ha posted on Facebook that Ahn Min-seok sent threatening text messages to him, a fellow lawmaker, accusing former lawmaker Kim Jae-yoon's death of being the fault of former Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung, and he posted the messages directly.

He said, "Yesterday, I criticized the Democratic Party's claim that former lawmaker Kim Jae-yoon's death was Choi Jae-hyung's fault as a typical case of double standards," adding, "The people who appointed Choi, praising him highly, were none other than President Moon Jae-in and the Democratic Party." He continued, "Now that he is an opponent, to falsely accuse him of causing someone's death in a case that has even been confirmed by the Supreme Court is nothing but double standards."

Ahn previously described Kim's death as a "political murder." On his Facebook, Ahn wrote, "On the day Choi Jae-hyung resigned as the Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman to run for president last Monday, Kim Jae-yoon was the first person I worried about," adding, "So I went to his younger brother's office, and his condition was much worse than I had feared. Kim was angry at Choi Jae-hyung, who ruined his life and was abandoning his post to run for president under the pretense of serving the country and the people." Former judge Choi was the presiding judge in Kim's second trial.

Ha said, "According to Ahn's logic, President Moon Jae-in, who appointed Chairman Choi, would also be an accomplice to the 'political murder,'" and added, "I hope Ahn will stop politically exploiting the deceased's death." He also demanded appropriate action from Song Young-gil, the leader of the Democratic Party.
