Park Ji-won "Han Dong-hoon Campaigning with National Budget... Should Be Reported"

Amid speculation in the political sphere about Han Dong-hoon, Minister of Justice, running for office following his visit to Daegu, former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won raised his voice, saying he should be reported for "campaigning using state funds."

On the 21st, Park Ji-won stated on his social media (SNS), "Delaying schedules in Daegu to take photos, and trips to local areas such as Daejeon and Ulsan are inappropriate behaviors for a minister and cabinet member, violating election laws, engaging in political activities as a public official, and undermining political neutrality."

Minister Han spent about three hours taking photos with citizens during his visit to Daegu on the 17th, and on the same day, he attended the opening ceremony of the Ministry of Justice's social integration program, the "Korean Language Proficiency Evaluation Center (CBT)" located in Daejeon. He is scheduled to visit Ulsan on the 24th.

Former Director Park said, "He is campaigning using state funds. The Democratic Party should file a complaint. The Judiciary Committee should be convened and stopped," adding, "Minister Han needs dignity and humility as a minister and cabinet member."

He described Minister Han as "President Yoon Seok-yeol's crown prince," and predicted, "Even if he plays a role in the general election for the People Power Party, President Yoon and Minister Han are like identical twins, and the people will not tolerate the second term of the Prosecutor Republic regime."
