Hong Ik-pyo: "Han Dong-hoon seems to want to be impeached... a strange fellow"

"Han, Talks Impeachment in Front of Reporters at Every Turn"
Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok's Impeachment Proposal Has Not Been Discussed

Hong Ik-pyo, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 15th that there has been no decision to propose an impeachment motion against Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon, adding, "He seems to really want to be impeached."

In a phone interview with the YouTube channel 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility is Difficult News Factory' on the same day, Floor Leader Hong said, "There has been no decision yet on the impeachment motion against Minister Han, and nothing has been reported to me."

This appears to refer to Minister Han's criticism of the Democratic Party, which proposed an impeachment motion against prosecutors on the 14th, saying, "It seems like they are pushing for one impeachment a day," and "They said they would impeach me too, but then backed down."

In response, Floor Leader Hong said, "He often talks in front of reporters like 'Why am I not being impeached?' but I am not interested," adding, "He seems to really want to be impeached. He's a strange guy."

He continued, "I don't know why he keeps pestering reporters like that instead of stalking me."

Regarding rumors of pushing for an impeachment motion against Prosecutor General Lee Won-seok, he denied, saying, "It has not been reviewed. I don't know how such reports came out." There has been no official discussion within the party about impeaching Prosecutor General Lee.

Floor Leader Hong said, "Someone must have talked to the media, but even if it was a personal opinion, it would have been better if the official floor line had confirmed it before the report came out. It's unfortunate," adding, "There has been no discussion and I have no knowledge of it."
