Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party's Innovation Committee for insisting on a signed vote on the arrest consent bill and Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung's agreement to it, saying he is "amazed by their shamelessness."


On the 25th, Kim said on his social media, "Asking the party leader who holds the nomination rights to oppose the arrest consent bill by signed vote is tantamount to telling him to declare he will not run," expressing his opinion.

He added, "Even when it was a secret ballot, the 'Gaeddal' supporters stepped up to break the watermelon, but proposing a signed vote is nothing more than the 'Gaeddal'-style stepping on the cross," and said, "If the temporary session is in progress, even if a declaration to waive immunity was made, the vote on the arrest consent bill must proceed. If you truly want to waive immunity, you can simply not convene the temporary session for a while."


He continued, "I have proposed the so-called ‘Lee Jae-myung Prevention Act,’ which allows delaying the convening of a temporary session for two weeks by the request of one-third of the total members," and said, "If this bill passes, it can prevent a bulletproof National Assembly without touching the constitutional system or making ineffective immunity waiver pledges."



Kim said, "If Leader Lee truly intends to waive immunity, please do not evade by making ineffective waiver declarations or 'Gaeddal'-style stepping on the cross with signed votes, but adopt the ‘Lee Jae-myung Prevention Act’ I proposed as the Democratic Party's official stance."
