[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] The Democratic Party of Korea has formed a task force (TF) to counter the opposition's relentless attacks over the Daejang-dong scandal, establishing a party-level defense system.

On the 13th, the Democratic Party held a Supreme Council meeting and resolved to form the 'People Power Party Construction Corruption Truth Investigation TF' and the 'General Election Interference National Order Disruption Truth Investigation TF.' The party appointed Representative Kim Byung-wook, a member of Lee Jae-myung's campaign team, as the head of the People Power Party Construction Corruption Truth Investigation TF, which will consist of about 10 members to respond to the opposition's Daejang-dong offensive.

As the People Power Party launches attacks targeting Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung regarding the Daejang-dong allegations, the Democratic Party now intends to block these offensives comprehensively at the party level.

The opposition is gearing up to turn the upcoming Gyeonggi Province National Assembly audits scheduled for the 18th and 20th into an 'Lee Jae-myung hearing.' Until the presidential candidate was selected on the 10th, the Democratic Party had refrained from party-level responses, fearing controversies over favoritism toward a specific candidate.

Separately, the Democratic Party will also launch an offensive against the opposition's leading presidential candidate, former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, over allegations of 'prosecution report manipulation,' through the General Election Interference National Order Disruption Truth Investigation TF led by Representative Park Joo-min as head and Representative So Byung-chul as deputy head. This TF will also be composed of about 10 members.

On the same day at the Supreme Council meeting, Party Leader Song Young-gil stated, "We will thoroughly investigate the collusion between lawyers from the prosecution and real estate brokers involved in legal corruption."
