[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Kim Jong-min, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, agreed to investigate the truth behind former Chosun Ilbo editorial writer Lee Dong-hoon's claim of political manipulation, stating, "People around former Prosecutor General Yoon must uncover the reality of the 'corruption complete sale' structure involving that fisheries businessman."


On the 14th, Kim said on Facebook, "Lee Dong-hoon, former spokesperson and former Chosun Ilbo editorial writer, who was Yoon Seok-yeol's first appointee, is under police investigation for bribery allegations and claims this investigation is a 'political manipulation.'"


He added, "If someone is pressured despite not taking money, that is political manipulation. However, if someone took money and does not show remorse but claims political manipulation, that is immoral," and said, "Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol and People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok raise their voices demanding a truth investigation. I agree. This case must be thoroughly investigated to uncover its roots."


Although Lee claimed that the ruling party attempted to lure him politically, Kim directed criticism at Yoon’s side. He said, "People around candidate Yoon Seok-yeol must uncover the reality of the 'corruption complete sale' structure involving that fisheries businessman."


Regarding former Prosecutor General Yoon, Kim criticized him as "not being honest with the public." Kim stated, "Candidate Yoon himself must have known that spokesperson Lee Dong-hoon was involved in bribery. Despite knowing this, he concealed it from the public and covered it up by saying he resigned due to personal reasons. This attitude of brushing over something that will be revealed in a few days is dishonest behavior. It deceived the public."



He added, "Even now, candidate Yoon Seok-yeol should apologize to the public for his dishonest behavior."
