[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] On the 13th, Kwon Seong-dong, a member of the People Power Party, demanded the dismissal of Park Ji-won, the Director of the National Intelligence Service, presenting suspicions that he was deeply involved in the allegations of report-for-prosecution manipulation. Kwon also claimed that despite there being no connection between this incident and former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, political manipulation is being carried out.

On the 13th, during a government questioning session at the National Assembly, Kwon said, "I heard from a close aide who was very close to Director Park," adding, "I heard that Cho Seong-eun, who reported the allegations of report-for-prosecution manipulation, had previously sent the case materials to Director Park in advance." He continued, "This case is clearly political interference by the National Intelligence Service and a manipulation gate. It would not be unreasonable to define it not as report-for-prosecution manipulation by former Prosecutor General Yoon, but as political manipulation instigated by former Director Park."

Kwon also asked Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum whether he intended to recommend Director Park's resignation.

Additionally, Kwon mentioned, "According to an information report from a certain media company, the campaign of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, also tried to obtain and expose materials related to this case through related persons, but it is said that it was released too quickly."

Kwon further referred to the ruling party's denial of former President Moon Jae-in's involvement in the Druking comment manipulation case and the economic feasibility evaluation of the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant, stating, "Attacking former Prosecutor General Yoon without circumstantial evidence regarding the report-for-prosecution manipulation allegations is unreasonable."
