[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, introduced reports related to Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and his alleged remittance to North Korea, insisting that the entire truth must be clearly revealed.

On the 13th, Chairman Jeong stated through social media (SNS), "The outline of the North Korean remittance case involving Lee Jae-myung's Gyeonggi Province, the Asia-Pacific Peace Exchange Association (Aptaehyeop), and Ssangbangwool has almost been uncovered," adding, "Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader at the top of this, consistently denies involvement, while innocent aides and associates are being arrested and suffering hardships fleeing overseas."

He mentioned that when Lee, during his tenure as governor of Gyeonggi Province, sent former Deputy Governor of Peace Lee Hwa-young to North Korea to promote economic cooperation, the Asia-Pacific Peace Exchange Association (Aptaehyeop) was presented as the negotiating group, and raised the possibility of North Korea's self-supply inflow through North Korean coins issued by Aptaehyeop, as well as Ssangbangwool's alleged remittance to North Korea.

Chairman Jeong said, "The prosecution estimates that Ssangbangwool delivered 1.5 million dollars to the North, and Aptaehyeop delivered 500,000 dollars," adding, "The chairman of Aptaehyeop was arrested on the 11th of this month on charges of smuggling 2 million dollars to North Korea. Secret remittances to North Korea violate UN Security Council sanctions."

He stated, "The entire truth of how much Lee Jae-myung's Gyeonggi Province-Aptaehyeop-Ssangbangwool triangular connection remitted to North Korea must be clearly revealed," and added, "Lee Jae-myung is now emerging as the core of the North Korean remittance scandal."
