Jeon Yong-gi: "The Party Has Many Yoon-Myung Taekyun Recording Files"

"Transcript to Be Released After Legal Review Within the Party"

Regarding the recorded phone conversation between President Yoon Suk-yeol and political broker Myung Tae-gyun, Jeon Yong-gi, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, mentioned that the party has secured a substantial amount of audio files and suggested the possibility of their release after verification within the party.

Jeon, who is part of the 'Myung Tae-gyun Gate Truth Investigation Team' formed by the Democratic Party to investigate allegations of President Yoon's interference in candidate nominations, appeared on SBS Radio's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show' on the 5th and said, "There are audio files received from a whistleblower. As far as I know, they exist," adding, "However, these do not include recordings that clearly identify 'this is President Yoon Suk-yeol or Mrs. Kim Kun-hee,' but I heard there is a very large amount of content from the whistleblower."

Jeon explained, "In fact, during the investigation team meetings, the conclusion was to 'not try to find out' how far the recordings go," adding, "This is because there are various difficulties in interpreting them due to legal issues and other problems."

He continued, "Even with the recently revealed recordings of President Yoon, the ruling party has been saying they are fabricated or edited," and said, "If preparations are not solid enough to prevent problems, there could be a backlash, so various reviews are necessary." He added, "The investigation team is focusing on identifying connections after the already released recordings, and it was resolved that the team in charge should exclusively handle the audio files received from the whistleblower without others intervening."

Regarding Myung's recent claim on his Facebook that "the Democratic Party does not have additional voice recordings of the President and First Lady," Jeon said, "I cannot give a definite answer, but I only know that there are various recordings," and added, "We also have many whistleblower reports, and I can only say that Myung Tae-gyun's role is significant in uncovering the truth of this issue."

Jeon stated that the final verification and judgment regarding the recordings will be made within the party. He said, "The decision on whether to disclose the recordings is made within the party. When President Yoon's recordings recently surfaced, Floor Leader Park Chan-dae handled it directly," adding, "At that time, no other lawmakers knew, which shows how well security is maintained. Coordination with the party is faster when handled at the floor leader level."
