People Power Party Visits Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Protest... Kim Ki-hyun Says "Democratic Party Must Replace Candidate Lee Jae-myung"
"I will get Kim Osu's resignation letter"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 12th, the People Power Party visited the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in protest to urge an investigation into the preferential treatment allegations related to the Daejang-dong development. They also protested regarding the discovery of Mr. Lee, who first reported the allegation of 'lawyer fee payment on behalf' involving Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, found dead.
About 30 current lawmakers, including Kim Ki-hyun, the floor leader of the People Power Party, visited the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in the afternoon to demand an investigation. Floor leader Kim held a press conference in front of the main building of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul, saying, "Due to the illegal atrocities by candidate Lee and the prosecution, precious lives continue to be lost," adding, "It gives me chills as if watching a real-life version of the movie 'Asura'.
Kim said, "How many more people must die?" and "Mysterious consecutive deaths continue as if following a well-written script."
He also announced plans to establish a 'Suspicious Incident Truth Committee' and a 'Whistleblower Protection Center' to investigate the death of Mr. Lee. He raised his voice, saying, "Candidate Lee has lost his qualification as a presidential candidate," and "The Democratic Party must replace their candidate." He added, "The public will recognize candidate Lee, who is avoiding a special prosecutor, as the culprit," and "Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo, who is admitting to being a political prosecutor general himself, must apologize to the people."
