Yoon Jae-ok: "Security Measures Must Be Established During Election Campaign Period... Discussion with Police Chief on the 29th"

Yoon Jae-ok, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 26th regarding the attack on Assemblywoman Bae Hyun-jin, "The police protection and security measures are limited to the election campaign period, but I think the police should establish measures even before that."

After the party's floor countermeasure meeting that morning, Yoon told reporters, "There is a concern that similar crimes or copycat crimes, such as the attack on Representative Lee Jae-myung and the attack on Assemblywoman Bae, may occur."

He added, ""On the 29th, we plan to invite members of the party's Public Administration and Security Committee and Police Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun to the National Assembly for discussions," and "After receiving their report that day, we will determine whether it is necessary to devise countermeasures in the National Assembly or if legislative supplementation is needed."

When asked if it would be in the form of a special committee, Yoon replied, "Whether to create a special committee will be further considered," and "We will see if legislative supplementation is necessary or if other measures need to be devised at the National Assembly level."

Regarding the question of whether there is suspicion of a "behind-the-scenes" involvement in the attack on Assemblywoman Bae, he avoided giving a definitive answer, saying, "If the police investigate, they will be able to confirm the motive and how Assemblywoman Bae's movements were known."

Yoon also said, "Regardless of gender, such terrorism and violence are not limited to politicians," and "There is concern that such violence or terrorism could occur against celebrities, so we are looking into how to prevent recurrence." Previously, in political circles, there were claims that Assemblywoman Bae became a victim of terrorism because she is a woman.
