Kim Han-gyu, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, clarified regarding the inclusion of his office in the National Assembly entry records of Wemade employees, stating, "Wemade only met with our aides, not me."


On the 25th, Kim posted on his social media (SNS), "I want to clarify in advance as some people might misunderstand. For reference, I have never invested in virtual assets," he said.

Due to the 'Wemade lobbying suspicion' sparked by Kim Nam-guk's virtual asset investment, the National Assembly Secretariat disclosed Wemade's National Assembly entry records on the same day. They visited the offices of People Power Party members Yoon Chang-hyun, Jung Hee-yong, Heo Eun-ah, and Democratic Party members Yang Jeong-sook, Kim Han-gyu, Kim Jong-min, Oh Ki-hyung, and Kim Sung-joo from September 2020 to last April.


Kim explained, "After WEMIX was delisted (December 8, 2022), Wemade, which issued WEMIX, visited our office around December 28, 2022, to explain the situation and met with our aides. I (Representative Kim Han-gyu) did not meet them," adding, "At that time, after the WEMIX delisting was reported in the news, it became an issue, and as our office belongs to the Political Affairs Committee, we were looking into the reasons for the delisting and whether there was any fault on the part of the virtual asset exchanges."



He said, "At that time, WEMIX had already been delisted, and Wemade did not make any proposals or offer any economic benefits beyond the explanation."
