Minju on Yoon's Brother-in-Law Indictment: "Where Is the End of This Farce... Must Accept a State Audit"

The Democratic Party of Korea on the 19th claimed that a parliamentary investigation into the alleged special favors in the development of the Yangpyeong Gongheung District, related to President Yoon Seok-yeol's in-laws, is unavoidable following the non-custodial indictment of President Yoon's brother-in-law, Kim Mo (53).

Senior Spokesperson Kwon Chil-seung stated at a briefing that "At the end of last month, an unprecedented event occurred with the current president's mother-in-law being taken into custody, and now the brother-in-law is facing trial, yet the president and the presidential office remain silent."

Spokesperson Kwon added, "We cannot help but ask how long President Yoon intends to maintain this irresponsible attitude. Is it because he dislikes explaining and apologizing to the public, or is it because the issue involves his in-laws that he cannot mention thorough investigations and strict punishments?"

He continued, "At this point, it would not be an exaggeration to call it a cartel between the Yangpyeong County Office and the president's in-laws. Where exactly is the end of President Yoon's in-law gate scandal, and what schemes and gains are being pursued in Yangpyeong?"

Spokesperson Kwon urged, "President Yoon should apologize to the public for the 'president's in-law gate,' and the People Power Party should accept a parliamentary investigation to clear the suspicions surrounding the president's in-laws."
