[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Kim Ki-hyun, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 11th, "In the first trial of the four main perpetrators involved in the Daejang-dong development corruption case, there was a court testimony that it was carried out according to the instructions and policies of Lee Jae-myung, then mayor of Seongnam," pointing to Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, as the 'mastermind' behind the Daejang-dong development corruption. Kim plans to visit the prosecution office on the same day to protest the insufficient investigation by the prosecution.

At the floor strategy meeting held that day, Kim said, "Just as he himself claimed to be the architect of the Daejang-dong project, the key perpetrators are the masterminds of Daejang-dong, and that person is none other than Lee Jae-myung." He added, "The candidate's campaign headquarters explained that it was an official policy, not a private instruction, but that means that Lee Jae-myung as mayor of Seongnam, not as a private individual, used his authority and command as a public official to direct astronomical real estate development profits to specific private individuals," and "Despite numerous pieces of evidence and circumstances, the prosecution's investigation is only focused on covering up the mastermind."

He also mentioned the lack of summons investigation for Jeong Jin-sang, deputy director of the Democratic Party campaign headquarters, who is classified as a close aide to the candidate. According to Kim, Deputy Director Jeong is a suspect and complainant. He said, "Two people have taken their lives related to Daejang-dong, but Deputy Director Jeong is said to be shirking by citing personal schedules," and criticized, "Unless he has a safe haven, he would not mock the prosecution's investigation and show such arrogant contempt that deceives the public."

Regarding the special prosecutor law, he claimed that the Democratic Party is not responding to meetings, and as a result, a final debate between floor leaders did not take place. Kim said, "Yesterday, the full meeting of the Judiciary Committee was held, but the special prosecutor law was not submitted and thus failed," and "Democratic Party candidate Lee publicly pressured our candidate Yoon Seok-youl to hold debates, but when Yoon started practical consultations including the Daejang-dong debate, Lee quietly backed out."

He asked, "Do they think they can cover up the truth with such tricks? Are they not afraid of the people?" and emphasized, "If they think they just need to hold on for two months, they should give up that dream early. The People Power Party will definitely pass the Daejang-dong special prosecutor law and hold the mastermind legally and politically accountable."
