[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Seoyoon] The Democratic Party of Korea submitted a disciplinary proposal against People Power Party lawmaker Yoon Chang-hyun to the National Assembly on the 13th. This was due to Yoon raising suspicions of involvement in recruitment corruption at Eastar Jet by mentioning the names of Democratic Party lawmakers during the National Assembly audit.

According to political circles on the 13th, 24 lawmakers from the Democratic Party submitted the disciplinary proposal against Yoon to the National Assembly.

They took issue with Yoon mentioning the names of Democratic Party lawmakers while alleging the involvement of opposition figures in recruitment corruption at Eastar Jet during the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee audit held on the 4th.

At the time, Yoon said, "Looking at the materials related to Eastar Jet's personnel recruitment, there are suspicious circumstances of receiving requests from opposition figures," adding, "Lawmaker Yang Gi-dae appears; he ranked 106th out of 132, and Lawmaker Lee Won-wook ranked 40th out of 70."

Democratic Party lawmakers stated, "By spreading false information as if Lawmakers Yang Gi-dae and Lee Won-wook were involved in recruitment corruption, they insulted and seriously damaged the honor of Lawmakers Yang and Lee," and added, "They abused parliamentary immunity by disclosing unverified materials during the audit, damaging the dignity of the lawmakers."

They further added, "After the disclosure of the false information, it was reported on major broadcast news programs and the media, openly damaging the honor of Lawmakers Yang and Lee."
