[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Kim Eui-gyeom, a member of the Open Democratic Party, said to the camp of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential pre-candidate who reported him to the police, "Let's see whose bones break."

On the 4th, Kim posted on his Facebook, stating, "King Yoon Seok-yeol personally reported me," and revealed, "He raised two issues."

Kim explained, "First, that my Facebook post saying 'Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Man-bae are like brothers' is false. Second, that I falsely stated on a broadcast that '(Candidate Yoon's father) received the middle and final payments after transferring the registration of the Yeonhui-dong house.'

Kim said, "Regarding the second, I have already publicly apologized to Candidate Yoon, saying 'I caused confusion due to a factual error.' However, I have no intention of backing down even an inch on the first claim," adding, "There are testimonies from several people. Reporter Joo Jin-woo also testified on KBS radio that 'Kim Man-bae called Yoon Seok-yeol his older brother.'

He continued, "Candidate Yoon has already filed seven lawsuits and complaints within three months of entering politics. I am the eighth, but this is the first lawsuit or complaint filed against a member of the National Assembly," and said, "It is an honor. Since the person who considers himself a king is stepping forward to personally prosecute, my fighting spirit burns even more. Let's see whose bones break."

Meanwhile, on the same day, Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign reportedly submitted a complaint against Kim to the Seocho Police Station in Seoul for violating the Public Official Election Act and defamation under the Information and Communications Network Act.

The campaign pointed out in a notice, "Kim claimed falsely through Facebook and interviews that 'Reporter Kim Man-bae is like a brother to Candidate Yoon, and their close relationship was so strong that he recommended Yoon Seok-yeol as the head of the investigation team to Special Prosecutor Park Young-soo.'"
