Kim Bu-seon: "Shameless Lee Jae-myung... Who Are You to Demand a Written Investigation?" Direct Hit at Police Summons Backlash

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Actress Kim Bu-seon directly criticized Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, saying, "Who do you think you are to talk about a written investigation?" and called him "shameless."

On the 4th, Kim Bu-seon shared an article on her Facebook in which Lee criticized the police for demanding a summons investigation related to the lawsuit over Seongnam FC sponsorship funds, and made these remarks.

It was revealed that Lee was summoned by the police the day before after being accused of 'bribery charges related to Seongnam FC sponsorship funds' during his tenure as mayor of Seongnam. In response, Lee opposed the police, claiming they were engaging in political acts.

On his Facebook, Lee stated, "Since there is no obligation to comply with a summons investigation that is not compulsory, I declined it and instead agreed to a written investigation. However, suddenly, along with the summons notification, a specific broadcasting station fabricated allegations that I received advertising revenue as bribery sponsorship, which was reported and became known to the entire nation," claiming that he was suspected as a corrupt official and suffered political damage.

He also pointed out, "The summons notification and the facts of the case are information that cannot be known unless the police disclose them," and added, "It can only be judged that the police leaked this to the media to influence the election and inflate suspicions, which is a serious crime of election interference, abuse of authority, and disclosure of facts of the case."

In response, Kim Bu-seon urged, "Who do you think you are to talk about a written investigation? Hurry up and go get investigated," and said, "Out of old friendship, I will visit you once."

She continued, questioning, "After the Bareunmirae Party filed a complaint in 2018, the case did not proceed for three years. Who is the backer that lets it drag on for three years?" She then criticized, "The police who did not even investigate the suspect for three years, and Lee who has been holding out for three years. Both are ridiculous. Both are great."

During his tenure as mayor of Seongnam, Lee Jae-myung, governor of Gyeonggi Province, who was accused of accepting bribes in the form of sponsorship funds for Seongnam FC, protested by calling it "political interference by the police" after the media reported on the 3rd that he had been summoned by the police.

Earlier, the media reported that the Bundang Police Station in Gyeonggi Province recently requested Lee, who was accused of bribery under the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Crimes, to appear.

This case concerns Lee, who, as the owner of Seongnam FC (mayor of Seongnam) in 2015, attracted about 16 billion won from major local corporations under the name of club advertising fees and sponsorship funds. During the local elections in June 2018, the Bareunmirae Party accused Lee of receiving bribes in return for providing various permits and conveniences to these companies.
