Kim Byung-min "Why is Lee Jae-myung silent on the Kim Nam-guk issue?"

On the 9th, Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Nam-guk apologized amid the '6 billion won coin' controversy, while Kim Byung-min, a Supreme Council member of the People Power Party, urged, "Why is Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader, silent about his closest aide's issue?" and called for a related statement.

On the same day, Supreme Council member Kim said through his social media (SNS), "The explanations are inconsistent and the suspicions are worsening, so it seems it is time for the Democratic Party to firmly issue an official stance."

Through SNS, lawmaker Kim officially apologized, saying, "In the midst of the livelihood crisis, I failed to show the public the image expected of a public official. I sincerely apologize."

He added, "I should have apologized to the public earlier, but I was so focused on explaining my innocence that I failed to show a responsible attitude. For the time being, I will actively cooperate with the party's investigation, and if there are any additional materials requested, I will submit them sincerely."

There has been no official statement from the Democratic Party regarding lawmaker Kim's apology yet. Kim is one of the '7-inhoe' members, a core group of the pro-Lee Jae-myung faction, but Lee himself has not yet issued any statement or comment related to Kim.
