[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Kim Ki-hyun, the floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized President Moon Jae-in's order for a thorough investigation regarding the Daejang-dong development preferential treatment suspicion case on the 12th, calling it a "public declaration to refuse a special prosecutor."

At a press conference held at the National Assembly communication office on the same day, Floor Leader Kim said, "The prosecution did not properly secure even a single mobile phone that could have been obtained just by securing CCTV," adding, "Evidence is emerging one after another that they are only engaging in stalling, delayed investigation, sloppy investigation, and scapegoating investigations." He further stated, "It is common sense to believe that behind the situation where the prosecution and police are coordinating to effectively conceal the case lies the intention of the Blue House and the President."

He continued, "Today's announcement by the President has made the necessity of a special prosecutor even more urgent," and said, "The People Power Party will fight to enforce the special prosecutor in reflection of the overwhelming public opinion."

Regarding Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate (current Governor of Gyeonggi Province), announcing his willingness to undergo a National Assembly audit related to the Daejang-dong development suspicion, Floor Leader Kim criticized, "Refusing to submit materials entirely and blocking even the adoption of witnesses and reference persons while saying he will undergo the audit raises concerns that it will be exploited as a show stage for appearances."

In this regard, he asserted, "Candidate Lee has the responsibility to sincerely submit the audit materials requested by the members participating in the audit and to move the Democratic Party to allow witnesses and reference persons related to Daejang-dong to appear."
