[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 26th, Yoon Hee-sook, a member of the People Power Party who announced her resignation from the National Assembly due to allegations of her father's real estate speculation transactions, stated, "Rather than criticizing this as a resignation show, I ask the majority party, the (Democratic) Party, to approve it in the plenary session and complete the resignation."

In a statement delivered via text message on the same day, Rep. Yoon said, "It is originally impossible to evade investigation by resigning from the Assembly, and rather, it is something I look forward to," adding, "As I stated in the press conference, I was not involved at all in the process of my father's land purchase, and I will transparently submit all materials if requested during the investigation."

She continued, "I submitted the resignation letter to the legislative affairs office before yesterday's press conference," and emphasized, "I hope the opposition party members will stop using my political decision to cover their own elections or allegations and to damage me."

She also said, "Baseless speculation and false information are being indiscriminately spread about me, my family, and even my former workplace, Ergi, and I will respond strictly to any parts that are not true," adding, "I request that some media outlets immediately refrain from visiting the homes of the lawmaker's family."
