On the 8th, A stated in a press release that he had filed a complaint with the Gangnam Police Station in Seoul against Kang Yong-seok and Kim Yong-ho for defamation by spreading false information through the information and communication network.


A said, "I am not related to this recording incident," and added, "Before this incident was reported, I had never seen, heard, made, or transmitted such a recording." He also explained the reason for the complaint, saying, "They cited my real name and photo on their YouTube broadcasts on the 2nd and 3rd, asserting that I was behind the leak," and "They spread false information to many people and damaged my reputation."


He continued, "About two years ago, in June 2021, I left Representative Tae Young-ho's office for personal reasons and have not been involved in any of Representative Tae's office affairs since then," and pointed out, "They did not even make a single phone call to me to verify the facts."



Earlier, on the 6th, Representative Tae announced through a press release that illegal acts such as leaking official secrets had occurred regarding the internal office meeting recordings and their external leak, and stated his intention to request a police investigation.
