[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Seoyul] The Democratic Party of Korea pressured Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon to "answer why the prosecution turns a blind eye and keeps silent in front of President Yoon Seok-yeol's family." The opposition party also demanded a prosecutorial summons investigation into First Lady Kim Geon-hee, who is suspected of being involved in the Deutsche Motors stock manipulation case.

Senior Deputy Spokesperson Ahn Gwiryeong said at a National Assembly briefing on the 24th, "There is overwhelming evidence that First Lady Kim and her mother-in-law Choi Eun-soon are involved in the Deutsche Motors stock manipulation."

Ahn added, "During a recent trial, recordings and testimonies revealing that First Lady Kim and Choi frequently received internal information from Deutsche Motors were disclosed during the prosecutor's questioning," and criticized, "Despite securing strong physical evidence, why does the prosecution only state that summoning the two for investigation is difficult?"

He said, "Minister Han responded to criticism of 'opposition party suppression investigations' the day before by saying, 'Respond within the judicial system just like other citizens,'" and questioned, "Why is the same judicial system not applied to First Lady Kim Geon-hee and Choi Eun-soon as it is to other citizens?"
