[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 8th, the ruling and opposition parties engaged in a tense exchange over the Daejang-dong controversy and the allegations of fabricated accusations during the National Assembly's audit.

At the Legislation and Judiciary Committee audit that day, opposition lawmakers pressed for a thorough investigation into Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung's alleged preferential treatment in the Daejang-dong development project, continuing their pointed questions.

People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Han-hong said, "The prosecution lost its investigative function under the Moon Jae-in administration," adding, "That is why the Lee Jae-myung Daejang-dong corruption gate broke out in Seongnam. Prosecutors should step up." From the same party, Jeon Ju-hye highlighted the suspicion of trial manipulation involving former Supreme Court Justice Kwon Soon-il, emphasizing, "A nationwide meeting of court chiefs must be convened." Additionally, lawmaker Yoo Sang-beom asked, "Do you think the current situation where no search and seizure has been conducted at Seongnam City Hall is appropriate?"

Democratic Party lawmakers focused their questioning on former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl's alleged fabrication of accusations.

Lawmaker Kim Young-bae asked, "Don't you have tea time every morning with Son Jun-sung, the Investigation Information Policy Officer, and the Prosecutor General?" Kim Yong-min directly questioned, "Were you involved in drafting the complaint in the fabricated accusation case?" Furthermore, regarding the fortune teller known as 'Cheongong Seunghap,' who was suspected of being former Prosecutor General Yoon's mentor, Kim said, "I wonder if the Cheongong Seunghap directed the investigation into Cho Kuk."
