[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Former Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Hae-young on the 22nd urged Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader whose prosecution investigation has intensified, to "step down from the stage of history."


Former lawmaker Kim stated this in a brief post on his social media service (SNS) that day, saying, "Leader Lee, it's enough now."


Kim, who first entered the National Assembly in the 20th National Assembly, is considered a prominent young faction within the party.


Amid concerns that the prosecution's investigation into Leader Lee, centered around the anti-Lee Jae-myung faction, could lead to party turmoil, some interpret that former lawmaker Kim is calling not only for Leader Lee's resignation from the leadership position but also for his retirement from politics.
