[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, recently confronted the prosecution, which has been tracking the accounts of himself and those around him, saying, "Feel free to investigate anytime." Along with this, he sent a warning message to the prosecution organization, saying, "It is a show to talk as if there is a problem now."

On the 25th, before concluding his public remarks at the party's Supreme Council meeting, Lee opened his mouth with a heavy expression, saying, "I tried not to talk about it if possible."

He said, "I doubt the prosecution's creativity, but their acting skills are also terrible," adding, "I immediately said at the Gyeonggi Province audit that they could look at my family's accounts as much as they want, and based on that, the prosecution checked the accounts and notification letters are piling up at home. And I have already clearly disclosed the source in the asset declaration."

He continued, "They should act appropriately, but their ability is terrible, and if they keep investigating accounts like this, the accounts might all wear out," criticizing, "The prosecution should conduct investigations, not put on a show."

He also said, "Investigations should basically be secretive and quiet, but they are making the whole neighborhood noisy as if a local shaman is performing a ritual with a small gong," questioning, "Is the purpose of the investigation to reveal the truth or to fabricate facts?"

He added, "I do not stop the prosecution from investigating," saying, "My account, my family's accounts, were clearly disclosed at last year's audit, and I agreed to investigations without a warrant. It is the same now."

Lee warned, "I say that putting on a show as if there is a problem is not desirable for the prosecution organization itself."
