[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 16th, Park Beom-gye, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, pointed out that the impeachment of Minister Han Dong-hoon is a possible matter.

Park, chairman of the Yoon Seok-yeol Regime Political Oppression Countermeasures Committee, appeared on MBC Radio's "Kim Jong-bae's Focus" that morning and said regarding the impeachment of Minister Han Dong-hoon, "Such a significant issue should be consolidated as a party stance," adding, "There was no such public deliberation process."

Park especially mentioned, "The reasons are being steadily accumulated, and if we were to impeach (Minister Han Dong-hoon) even now, I believe there are cumulative numerical and illegal or unjust grounds," and "I consider the decree dictatorship and decree coup as serious illegalities, so it is a possible matter." He added, "However, at least it is a matter for the public's sensitivity, public outrage, and the people to decide."

He also criticized Choi Jae-hyung, a member of the People Power Party and former head of the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI), who opposed the "Law to Prevent Political Intervention by the Board of Audit and Inspection" (amendment to the BAI Act), saying, "He is not qualified to make such remarks."

Park stated, "Although the regime has changed, the BAI has violated political neutrality and there are more than dozens of specific audit cases related to the Moon Jae-in administration's various projects."

He criticized, "They are conducting comprehensive politically motivated audits against the previous government, but wasn't the origin when Chairman Choi Jae-hyung resigned midway and entered politics?" He added, "Chairman Choi Jae-hyung and Secretary General Yoo Byung-ho, who directly carried out his orders, are effectively leading the BAI's political and targeted audits now." He further stated, "In that regard, Chairman Choi Jae-hyung should feel responsible for the BAI being caught in the whirlpool of political neutrality and should not be making such remarks."
