[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] On the 20th, Jeong Jin-seok, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party's backlash against the prosecution's investigation into Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, calling it a "fabrication of arrest warrants" and a "manhunt," saying they have "crossed the red line."

On the same day, Chairman Jeong posted on his Facebook, stating, "I hope Democratic Party lawmakers come to their senses. I hope they break free from the irrational 'Stockholm syndrome' of trying to save Lee Jae-myung, who is using them as hostages to escape from a deadly situation."

He said, "Lee Jae-myung dismissed the arrest of Jeong Jin-sang as 'prosecutorial fabrication,'" adding, "The claim that the arrest warrant issued for Jeong Jin-sang after more than eight hours of direct court interrogation is a fabrication and a manhunt is an absurd assertion." He continued, "Lee's ridiculous claims and the Democratic Party's fabricated conspiracy agitation have crossed the 'red line' that should not be crossed," and pointed out, "In the end, whether it is fabrication or not, either Lee Jae-myung or the prosecution must be lying, so which side will the public support?"

He also criticized, saying, "The Democratic Party is shouting 'Resign Yoon Seok-yeol administration' on the asphalt to rescue Lee Jae-myung, who stands at the center of the Daejang-dong corruption and black money scandal," adding, "Is it reasonable to call for impeachment and resignation of a president who has been in office for six months? This is a refusal to accept the presidential election results." According to Chairman Jeong, Democratic Party lawmakers including Ahn Min-seok, Kang Min-jung, Kim Yong-min, Hwang Un-ha, Yoo Jung-joo, and Yang Yi-won-young participated in the presidential resignation rally held in Gwanghwamun the previous evening.

Chairman Jeong said, "The Democratic Party is pressuring our party to submit the list of special committee members for the state audit by Monday (November 21)," adding, "Those who begged for cooperation in uncovering the truth are now running outside and loudly shouting for 'President Yoon Seok-yeol's resignation.' This is hypocrisy."

He added, "'Shut up and conduct the state audit' and 'shut up and protect'?the public knows exactly what these are for. Ultimately, it is all about saving Lee Jae-myung."
