[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Daehyun] Regarding the report that the prosecution, during former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's tenure, solicited the opposition party to file complaints against ruling party figures, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the People Power Party, said, "Based on the statements of various related parties, it seems that not many facts have been confirmed."

On the 2nd, Lee met with reporters at the National Assembly and stated, "According to the explanation by Representative Kim Woong mentioned in the article, it was simply forwarding tips commonly received by the party," adding, "It will not be a major issue." He also added, "It is considered that the factual relationship of the 'commissioned complaint' has not been confirmed, and no actual complaint has been filed."

The former Prosecutor General Yoon's camp also emphasized, "We clearly state that no one was solicited for complaints during the tenure as Prosecutor General."

On the same day, the online media Newsbus reported that it was confirmed that the prosecution, ahead of the general election in April last year, solicited the main opposition party, the United Future Party (the predecessor of the People Power Party), including Representative Kim, to file criminal complaints against politicians from the ruling coalition.
