[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The People Power Party has decided to file an injunction with the court to block a broadcast report related to Kim Geon-hee, the spouse of presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol.

Lee Yang-su, chief spokesperson of the People Power Party's presidential campaign headquarters, announced on the 13th, "We plan to submit an injunction application to prohibit the broadcast against a certain broadcasting company this morning." The People Power Party intends to submit the injunction application to the Seoul District Court within the morning.

According to the information confirmed by the People Power Party and others, Mr. A, who was in charge of filming for the YouTube channel ‘Seoul's Voice,’ had about 10 to 15 phone calls with Ms. Kim from July last year to early December, totaling approximately 7 hours. Mr. A delivered this to a broadcasting company, and the report is said to be imminent. In this regard, the People Power Party also announced that they plan to file a complaint against Mr. A yesterday for violations of the Public Official Election Act and the Protection of Communications Secrets Act.

Through the calls, Ms. Kim is known to have expressed her views on criticism of the Moon Jae-in administration, the prosecution investigation of former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, and the non-attendance of Jeong Dae-taek as a witness at the National Assembly audit. The People Power Party is concerned that if the contents of the calls between Ms. Kim and Mr. A are disclosed, it could become a negative factor for candidate Yoon.

Regarding this, Kwon Young-se, head of the People Power Party's presidential campaign headquarters, told reporters, "It seems like a very vile political operation, but since they only announced their intention, honestly, we do not know how to respond," adding, "We are watching closely." About the broadcast content, he said, "It appears to be a long period of recordings edited little by little, so I guess even the person involved does not remember exactly what the content is."
