Yoon Camp Claims "Will Report Park Ji-won, NIS Director, for Election Law Violation... Whistleblower Is a Political Adopted Daughter"

[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's presidential campaign announced on the 12th, "We will file a complaint against Park Ji-won, the Director of the National Intelligence Service (NIS), tomorrow for violating the National Intelligence Service Act and the Public Official Election Act." This is related to the fact that Cho Sung-eun, who leaked the 'complaint instigation' suspicion to the media, personally met with Director Park on the 11th of last month before the related report was published.

Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party and head of the campaign situation room, said at a National Assembly press conference on the same day, "There is a suspicion that Director Park intervened in the presidential election to eliminate a leading opposition candidate," adding, "This is a case of state power abuse and a disruption of national order, the worst incident aimed at destroying democracy in the Republic of Korea," and defined it as the "'Park Ji-won Gate'."

Regarding the explanation that Director Park and Ms. Cho "had a usual friendship and met over a meal," he said, "Even a passing cow would laugh at that," and added, "Director Park's characteristic cunning is an act of mocking the people."

Jang claimed, "Ms. Cho is effectively Director Park's political foster daughter," and said, "Even a child in Samcheok-dong would know what these two discussed when they met at this time." He further criticized, linking the fact that Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo ordered a fact-finding investigation and Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye hinted at an internal investigation, saying, "The NIS Director and his foster daughter, the Prosecutor General, and the Minister of Justice, a Democratic Party lawmaker, showed perfect harmony," and "The formula to kill Yoon Seok-yeol proceeded without a single error."

Jang urged the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (PCC) to immediately start an investigation into the 'Park Ji-won Gate,' the NIS Director's election interference suspicion case, and called for a forced investigation including a search and seizure of Director Park and Ms. Cho. He especially mentioned suspicions that a third party was present when the two met, saying, "Mobile phones should be confiscated to check text messages and call records, and CCTV or QR records from the hotel should be promptly secured."

He warned, "If President Moon Jae-in does not clearly reveal the election interference suspicions involving Director Park and other power institutions, the 'Park Ji-won Gate' will spread like wildfire beyond to become the 'Moon Jae-in Regime Gate.'"
