[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 14th, Tae Young-ho, a member of the People Power Party, demanded Prime Minister Kim Boo-kyum, "Is it acceptable to distinguish between the ruling and opposition parties like this?" and urged him to "respond to questions with a stance and attitude that respects the people."

During the government questioning session at the National Assembly that day, Rep. Tae asked, "I was surprised by your response during Rep. Kim Seok-ki's question. You answered that you learned about the spy ring incident through the media. Did you actually learn about it through the media? Were you not briefed on the situation?"

In response, Prime Minister Kim explained, "I do not have any specific clarifications, but I only know that such events are taking place in the Cheongju area. If my expression came across that way, it was a mistake."

Then, when Prime Minister Kim said, "Isn't it unfair to immediately associate the president with problems just because those who committed election fraud supported someone?" Rep. Tae replied, "This has been reported multiple times in the media and raised in the standing committee," adding, "In future government questioning sessions, please do not see the questioning member as an individual but as representing the people."
