Park Seong-jun, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said during a briefing at the National Assembly Communication Office on the morning of the 8th, "The party leader will respond to the prosecution's summons and attend for questioning, and there will likely be discussions about that. He probably will not just go in alone," adding, "The leadership will probably go with him."

Lee will appear before the prosecution on the 10th as a suspect regarding the Seongnam FC sponsorship fund allegations and undergo questioning. Accordingly, Lee has cleared his weekend schedule and is making all-out preparations, including reviewing anticipated questions with his legal team and reorganizing the facts he clarified during past police investigations. He has also appointed a separate legal team ahead of this investigation.

Lee plans to hold a New Year's press conference after the prosecution's investigation concludes. Spokesperson Park explained, "Physically, the 11th will be difficult, and the earliest possibility is the 12th or 13th. If it is before the Lunar New Year, it will likely be around the 16th or 17th at the latest."
