[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding Kim Ki-hyun, the floor leader of the People Power Party, launching an offensive by saying that President Moon Jae-in is 'remaining silent' about the Daejang-dong scandal, the Blue House responded that it is watching the situation closely.


A Blue House official answered reporters' questions on the 5th, stating, "The Blue House is taking this matter seriously and is closely monitoring it."


When reporters asked again whether this response meant that the Blue House is taking the Daejang-dong scandal seriously, or if it is closely watching the current political situation or Kim's attacks, and whether "watching" implied any planned actions, the official replied, "Please understand the sentence as it is," adding, "There is nothing more to say."



On the same day, during the morning National Assembly audit strategy meeting, Floor Leader Kim mentioned the Daejang-dong scandal and criticized, "President Moon, who once championed justice and fairness, is still remaining silent."
