When the arrest motion against Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, was reported to the National Assembly plenary session on the 20th, Yang Eui-won, a Democratic Party lawmaker, raised her voice, calling it "the prosecution's attack on the legislative branch."



On the same day, Yang Eui-won said on her social media (SNS), "Despite hundreds of searches and seizures and nearly two years of investigation, there is no evidence, and this is Han Dong-hoon's prosecution's last desperate attempt to obtain false confessions," adding, "We must firmly stand against the prosecution's attack on the legislative branch."

Meanwhile, as the arrest motion against Lee and the motion to dismiss Prime Minister Han Duck-soo were reported to the National Assembly plenary session on the same day, both motions are scheduled to be put to a vote at the plenary session on the 21st. Lee is currently under an arrest warrant request by the prosecution over allegations of preferential treatment in the Baekhyeon-dong development (breach of trust) and bribery related to the Ssangbangwool Group's remittance to North Korea.
