[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] On the 6th, Bae Hyun-jin, a member of the People Power Party, requested the Democratic Party of Korea to provide materials and testimonies related to former First Lady Kim Jung-sook's visit to the Taj Mahal.


On the same day, Bae posted this statement in response to Jang Kyung-tae, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party, criticizing the party after he was criminally charged by the Presidential Office for defamation due to spreading false information under the Information and Communications Network Act, calling it "petty and pathetic."


He pointed out, "When a party member takes the lead in trying to tarnish the president's image but loses self-control and escalates to a level of stalking the First Lady in a creepy manner, true camaraderie is to hold them back and stop them."


Bae stated, "Former First Lady Kim Jung-sook visited the Taj Mahal in India on the presidential aircraft, which bore the presidential emblem, with a budget created in just three days at the request of the Blue House. However, there was no mention of this visit in the post-trip report," adding, "At that time, the Moon Jae-in Blue House was very upset just by a newspaper column mentioning the Taj Mahal visit and filed a complaint against the columnist."


He continued, "However, the Moon Jae-in Blue House lost in the first trial," and "They appealed but, for some reason, quietly withdrew the lawsuit and the matter was forgotten."



He then said, "I request the Democratic Party, who would know better than anyone all the behind-the-scenes details of this petty and petty incident where the Blue House, unable to openly defend itself, pushed a powerless columnist to the forefront before the lawsuit, to provide the materials and courageous testimonies from that time."
