Gominjeong: "Chairman Kim Jinpyo, Order a Full Investigation of Coins"

Ko Min-jung, a Supreme Council Member of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated that "a full investigation of cryptocurrency holdings by members of the National Assembly is necessary" and urged Speaker Kim Jin-pyo to order a full investigation at the National Assembly level.

On the 12th, Ko said through her social media (SNS), "Currently, the Democratic Party's fact-finding team is conducting an investigation, but a faster and more accurate investigation must be carried out."

She added, "Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, has called for a full investigation of cryptocurrency holdings by lawmakers. However, Yoon Jae-ok, the floor leader of the People Power Party, seems to be avoiding a full investigation by saying that clarifying the suspicions against Kim Nam-guk should take priority," and said, "Unless someone is trying to buy time, there is no reason to refuse a full investigation."

She continued, "The Democratic Party is the same on this matter. Therefore, I request Speaker Kim to order a full investigation at the National Assembly level, regardless of party affiliation, into cryptocurrencies omitted from asset declarations," emphasizing, "Cryptocurrency itself cannot be considered a crime, but the problem lies in the fact that it is an area omitted from lawmakers' asset declarations, so it must be transparently disclosed."

Ko stated, "The obligation for lawmakers to declare assets is not just about showing their assets but also means they should not increase their assets through improper means," and added, "If the Democratic Party does not actively take action on this issue, the public's disappointment will fall to an irreversible level."
