[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Kim Eun-hye, a member of the People Power Party representing Daejang-dong in Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-do, said on the 27th, "Even though (Assemblyman Kwak Sang-do) has left the party, I feel the sense of emptiness that the people feel," adding, "I believe Assemblyman Kwak will also respond confidently to the special prosecutor's investigation along with his son."


Kim appeared on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Start of the Morning' that day and stated, "When we criticize someone, for the voice of criticism to carry weight, we must be confident in ourselves."


She said, "Above all, there is the essence. The People Power Party did not contract with Hwacheon Daeyu. Nor did they select Hwacheon Daeyu," emphasizing, "Regardless of which supporting actors appear, the main culprit must be uncovered." She added, "We must thoroughly investigate the contract in Seongnam-si that is raising suspicions of preferential treatment, and I believe the main culprit should still be subject to a special prosecutor's investigation." She also said, "Governor Lee Jae-myung of Gyeonggi-do stated that he did not gain any illegal profits even worth one won, so there is no reason for him not to respond to an objective special prosecutor." She proposed that the special prosecutor "confidently uncover whether this incident is the 'Seongnam-si Gate' or the 'People Power Party Gate.'"



She said that if the Democratic Party does not agree to the special prosecutor or a parliamentary audit, "we will fight in the National Assembly inspection." Kim pointed out, "This Daejang-dong development is said to be the largest public interest recovery project since the founding of the nation. If the Democratic Party says this, they should rather create a white paper and widely promote it for generations, but currently, the Gyeonggi-do and Seongnam-si local governments are completely refusing to provide audit materials to the opposition party." She criticized, "In a situation where achievements should be promoted, silence is growing longer. It is inconsistent."
