[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Kim Ki-hyun, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 18th that he is "willing to be sued" in response to the Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung's Gyeonggi Province governor camp's plan to consider filing a complaint. Kim emphasized, "Regarding the public suspicion, instead of giving irrelevant answers and trying to divert attention elsewhere, you should clearly and transparently clarify the matter."

On the same day, Kim expressed his thoughts on Lee's camp's plan to file a complaint through social media (SNS). He said, "If demanding a straightforward explanation on the suspicion that the project Lee claims as a great achievement was actually full of unfairness and special favors is a crime, then I wouldn't mind serving 100 years in prison," adding, "I will fall into the trap set by Lee."

However, regarding the issue raised that "Mr. Yoo Mo, who planned the Daejang-dong public development project, is currently active in Lee Jae-myung's camp, which has been reported by multiple media outlets," Kim claimed the facts are different. He explained, "This quoted statement has already been reported by numerous media outlets since the 13th," and "I am not the original source of this statement as Lee's camp claims, nor did the media simply copy my words."

He continued, "It is nonsense that someone who says they will 'eradicate fake news' is instead creating fake news themselves to intimidate the leader of the main opposition party," and added, "Hearing such violent language like 'eradicate' only strengthens my conviction that a faction with such violent thinking must never hold power."

Kim pointed out, "Stop pretending to be righteous and first respond to my and the People Power Party's request to appear as a witness at the National Assembly audit," asking, "Why are you remaining silent?" He further stated, "If you really don't dare to face the audit, a one-on-one debate with me would also be fine."
