Controversy over 'Park Ji-won Whisper'.. Jo Seong-eun Reveals Another Photo "An Absurd Matter"

People Power Party's 'Park Ji-won and Jo Seong-eun Whispering' Called "A Very Special Relationship"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Jo Seong-eun (33), former vice chairman of the Future United Party (now People Power Party) election committee and whistleblower in the so-called 'prosecutor accusation solicitation' scandal, has actively refuted the People Power Party's allegations against Park Ji-won, Director of the National Intelligence Service, regarding 'soliciting tips.'

On the 22nd, Jo posted a photo on her Facebook showing her whispering with former National Assembly member Lee Sang-don, stating, "Photos of similar types of National Assembly meetings during the split of the People’s Party. If former member Lee Sang-don had become the Director of the National Intelligence Service, probably Kim Ki-hyun (People Power Party) floor leader would have made this photo into a panel."

She added, "When there are many journalists and cameras causing a noisy and chaotic environment, you inevitably have to speak in whispers, but this is truly absurd."

Earlier, the People Power Party released a photo of Park Ji-won, Director of the National Intelligence Service, whispering with Jo, raising criticism that the two conspired in the 'accusation solicitation' scandal. On the 12th, Kim Ki-hyun, floor leader of the People Power Party, held an emergency press conference, claiming, "As seen in the photo, it is clear that they are not just acquaintances but have a very special relationship," and "The photo clearly shows they are exchanging very intimate conversations."

He further criticized, "The Democratic Party launched a very low and despicable political attack trying to catch a leading opposition candidate, which was met with public condemnation."

Meanwhile, since appearing on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Start of a New Morning' on the 17th and stating she would refrain from interviews with the media, Jo has been actively engaging in public opinion battles through her Facebook. On the morning of the same day, she posted on her Facebook questioning the People Power Party's 'soliciting tips' allegations, calling it a "ridiculous term" and asking, "Is it really possible to connect the act of reporting to investigative agencies as a public interest whistleblower with the term 'soliciting'?"
