Kim Eun-hye: "President Moon is involved in the Daejang-dong Gate... Opening the door to misfortune"

"After President Moon's Term, Hope No Situation Arises Where 'Concealment Responsibility' Must Be Shared"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] Kim Eun-hye, a member of the People Power Party, evaluated the meeting between President Moon Jae-in and Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, held at the Blue House the previous day by saying, "President Moon has stepped into the Daejang-dong gate."

On the 27th, Kim appeared on YTN Radio's 'Hwang Bo-seon's Start of a New Morning' in the morning and said, "I hoped President Moon would not step into the Daejang-dong gate. However, he is opening the door to misfortune," expressing her view.

Kim said, "What President Moon should do now is to order a thorough investigation into the national suspicion case," and added, "If the Blue House thinks it should be covered up moderately, I hope President Moon changes his mind even now." She strongly criticized, saying, "I hope a situation where he has to share responsibility for concealment after President Moon's retirement does not come."

President Moon and candidate Lee had a private meeting at the Blue House for about 50 minutes the previous morning. It was 16 days after Lee was selected as the presidential candidate in the Democratic Party primary on the 10th. However, due to the People Power Party's opposition, claiming that the meeting between the current president and the ruling party's next presidential candidate is a clear election interference, and concerns about past violations of the Public Official Election Act, both sides reportedly did not mention anything related to the election or Daejang-dong during the meeting. After the meeting, the Blue House drew a line by saying, "Not even the word 'Daejang-dong' came up."

However, on the same day, Kim pointed out, "Not mentioning Daejang-dong itself is equivalent to stepping into the Daejang-dong gate." She explained that the current investigations by the prosecution and police are going off track.

Kim also said, "There are many demands for a special prosecutor regarding this absurd belated investigation," and emphasized, "I think President Moon should seriously consider the special prosecutor and make a definitive decision."
