Kim Byung-min "Voluntary Resignation of Yoon Kwan-seok and Lee Sung-man, When Will They Rejoin? Typical Scapegoating"

Kim Byung-min, a Supreme Council Member of the People Power Party, criticized the voluntary resignation of Yoon Kwan-seok and Lee Sung-man, key figures in the Democratic Party of Korea's 'cash envelope' scandal, on the 3rd, calling it a "typical scapegoating and a political show to deceive the public."

On the same day, Kim stated through his social media (SNS), "When will Yoon Kwan-seok and Lee Sung-man return to the party?"

This implied that the two lawmakers who voluntarily resigned could return at any time, similar to Min Hyung-bae of the Democratic Party, who recently rejoined. He pointed out, "Even if they resign voluntarily, Min has already shown that they can come back like a triumphant general after some time, so the resignation probably did not feel like a heavy punishment to them."

He criticized, "Lee claimed that the prosecution's political attack was the cause of this incident. Yoon denied his charges, saying he would sincerely cooperate with the judicial process to clarify the issue," and added, "No problem exists, so why resign?"

Kim also said, "Since Yoon, the key figure suspected of delivering cash envelopes, could devastate the entire Democratic Party if he speaks out, the party may have actively protected them by settling the matter through their voluntary resignation," and questioned, "Could it be that former leader Song Young-gil and lawmakers Yoon Kwan-seok and Lee Sung-man are trying to cover up all these suspicions by scapegoating through their voluntary resignations?"
