[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Kim Hye-kyung, wife of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, addressed the so-called 'swearing file,' saying, "It's distressing, but it has already happened," and added, "We must take responsibility where it is due, accept criticism from the public, and apologize if necessary."

On the 30th, Kim appeared on MBN's 'Sisa Special - Jung Woon-gap's In-depth Analysis' and said, "As long as it is not distorted, such judgments or verifications should be accepted."

Regarding the scrutiny and controversies surrounding the families of presidential candidates, Kim stated, "If someone is to have influence beside a president with such great authority, they must undergo unlimited verification."

She continued, "I believe that is the right thing to do, and the candidate and those around him must accept that." When asked if the wife and family are included in the scope of unlimited verification, she replied, "Yes."

Additionally, Kim cited Lee's strengths, saying, "He is a practical person. Even if 100% results are not achieved, when it is time to solve a problem, he does his best to resolve it."

She added, "Opponents use that as a pretext and scold him, asking 'Why didn't you achieve 100%?'"

Regarding the role of the First Lady if Lee is elected, she said, "I think it will be very important to maintain boundaries," and added, "If given the opportunity, I would like to play a role in listening to and conveying the voices of marginalized and needy places."
