[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kwon Seong-dong, a member of the People Power Party, raised suspicions of collusion with the Democratic Party of Korea, targeting the pro-Democratic media outlets The Tam-sa and Mindulle, which disclosed the list of victims of the Itaewon accident, saying "the legality must be examined."

On the 16th, Kwon emphasized through his social network service (SNS), "We must strike down the anti-humanitarian behavior of activist groups who ignore the law and even exploit death for political struggle," adding, "The possibility of collusion between The Tam-sa, Mindulle, and the Democratic Party must also be revealed."

He pointed out, "First of all, the disclosure of the list is subject to investigation," and said, "We must examine the legality of not only violating the Personal Information Protection Act but also who and how the list was obtained."

He further explained, "As seen in the Cheongdam-dong drinking party rumor incident, The Tam-sa closely cooperated with incumbent Democratic Party lawmakers. In the case of Mindulle, it is packed with opposition figures such as Yoo Si-min, chairman of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation; Professor Choi Bae-geun, known as the economic strategist of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung; Kim Min-woong, leader of the Candlelight Action; and Kwak No-hyun, former Seoul Superintendent of Education."

Kwon pointed out, "In fact, the Democratic Party also faced controversy over a party official's text message calling for the disclosure of the list, and several lawmakers, including leader Lee, have argued for the necessity of disclosing the list," adding, "In other words, if The Tam-sa and Mindulle were the vanguard forces of the list disclosure atrocity, the Democratic Party is the main force."
