Minjoo: "Lee Jae-myung to Appear Before Prosecution on 9th" Accepts Prosecution's Requested Schedule

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, has decided to appear at the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office on the 9th in connection with the allegations of 'Ssangbangwool Group's remittance to North Korea.'

On the 7th, spokesperson Park Seong-jun held a briefing at the National Assembly regarding Lee Jae-myung's appearance before the prosecution and stated, "Leader Lee will appear at the Suwon District Prosecutors' Office on Saturday, the 9th." The prosecution had previously demanded that the suspect be questioned between the 7th and 9th at the latest this week. Lee had initially planned to appear on the 12th, citing his schedule for government questioning sessions at the National Assembly on the 7th and 8th and an outdoor rally on the 9th.

Spokesperson Park said, "The prosecution repeatedly ignored the National Assembly and has now unprecedentedly forced Leader Lee to forgo his obligation to attend the regular session and appear. Moreover, the date requested by the prosecution coincides with the government questioning period, which focuses on the failures of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration," adding, "We deeply regret the prosecution's unconstitutional behavior that denies constitutionally mandated legislative activities."

He continued, "While they act despicably, we will proceed with dignity," emphasizing, "Leader Lee will appear before the prosecution on the 9th, immediately after the government questioning ends, and will boldly confront the reckless summons by the Yoon Seok-yeol regime."
