"If the allegations of instigating prosecution are true, it would have been a crime undermining the national order, experienced through former Prime Minister Yoon Seok-yeol, the 'Second Park Geun-hye'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Kim Nam-guk, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, exposed on social media (SNS) a video of himself throwing a book written by Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party who is implicated in the 'whistleblowing scandal,' into the trash, saying, "How can you leave a book written with lies by someone who keeps lying on the bookshelf as it is?"


On the 3rd, Kim posted on his Facebook, "As of today, I am throwing the book written by Kim Woong into the trash. It is not recyclable. I hope no one picks it up. It is harmful to mental health," he said.


He began by saying, "Kim Woong's attitude and remarks are incomprehensible," adding, "There are specific testimonies from the whistleblower and additional evidence including very vivid phone call recordings between Kim Woong and the whistleblower, as well as Telegram screenshots supporting this, yet it is truly astonishing how shameless he can be."


He continued, "While we need to wait a bit longer for the final investigation results, even based on the facts revealed so far, it is gradually becoming clear that Kim Woong orchestrated the whistleblowing and that some prosecutors were involved in an organized manner," and raised his voice, saying, "Regardless of how far the investigation can punish, it is common sense to be ashamed and unable to hold your head up before the people with just the facts confirmed so far, so it is truly astonishing how shameless a person can be."


He further claimed, "The criminal allegations committed by Kim Woong and his accomplices are far more serious than the suspicion that Kwak Sang-do received 5 billion won," and added, "If the whistleblowing scandal is true, it is a serious crime of national disgrace where prosecutors, representatives of public interest, privatized prosecutorial power to manipulate public opinion into a case, and furthermore tried to influence the election and overturn the election results."


Kim said, "Once again, the state institutions were mobilized to damage democracy and constitutional values, a crime of national disgrace that we almost experienced through former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, known as the 'Second Park Geun-hye,'" emphasizing, "It must be clearly revealed through a thorough investigation whether former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl bears criminal responsibility. No suspicion should remain."


He concluded by saying, "Kim Woong is shamelessly denying memory, but I hope the remaining suspects will reveal all the truth without hiding anything and stand proudly before history and the people."


Regarding the so-called 'accusation coaching' suspicion case, Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party who was identified as the political channel, is responding to reporters' questions as he enters the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Division at the Government Complex Gwacheon for investigation on the morning of the 3rd.

Earlier that morning, Kim Woong, who was summoned to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials at the Government Complex Gwacheon, stated, "I will fight using the maximum methods available to the opposition party based on the Constitution and the Criminal Procedure Act," and added, "I will respond firmly to unfair election interference."



He continued, "As you can see from the content, there is absolutely no mention that former President Yoon gave instructions or consulted," emphasizing, "From my perspective, the whistleblowing scandal has no substance at all."
