[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Yoon Hojung, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 9th that he will intensify efforts for media reform, referring to the controversy over the 'fake fisheries businessman.'

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Yoon said, "Looking at the recent fake fisheries businessman incident that attracted public attention, it is clear. Lobbying was conducted against the prosecution, media, and opposition parties. This shows who is on whose side."

He added, "The opposition party opposing media reform is itself showing evidence of collusion between politics and the media," and emphasized, "Our party will vigorously promote media reform."

Floor Leader Yoon also said, "The opposition party is misleading the public by calling the government's decision to stop using the ABC Association or our party's media reform bill an attempt to gag the media," and added, "Untrustworthy media causes enormous social costs. To prevent the production of unjust victims, we will push for amendments to the Media Arbitration Act to protect victims from malicious reports."
