Yoon, Impeachment Because of Han Dong-hoon? ... Kim Jong-hyuk "Publishing a Book to Accurately Inform the Facts"

Han Dong-hoon Publishes "The People Come First"
Kim Jong-hyuk: "A Display of Responsibility Before History and the People"

Former People Power Party leader Han Dong-hoon has published his book "The People Come First," and former People Power Party Supreme Council member Kim Jong-hyuk said, "Han shows responsibility before history and the people through his book."

Kim, a close ally of Han (pro-Han Dong-hoon faction), appeared on CBS Radio's "Kim Hyun-jung's News Show" on the 28th and said, "If he made any mistakes, he has a sense of duty to take responsibility and accurately inform the public about what happened at that time, which is why I think he wrote the book."

He said, "Among President Yoon Seok-yeol's strong supporters, some openly say, 'It was martial law because of Han Dong-hoon,'" and added, "Han has continuously said that Mrs. Kim Geon-hee should apologize, warning that otherwise it would lead to a catastrophe, and he has consistently argued that the legislative conflict should not continue in this way, so it must have been awkward and uncomfortable for President Yoon."

He continued, "This was probably said with the intention of helping our party and the president succeed," and "if we had immediately called for an early resignation right after this incident (martial law) occurred, and if the president had supported that claim, the situation might have been different," he said. Then he added, "The president showed an attitude of refusing to take any responsibility, including impeachment or early resignation. Would the people and the opposition just stand by?" He said, "Therefore, blaming all these events solely on Han Dong-hoon is neither logically nor rationally a valid claim."

Regarding Han’s position on the 'Myeong Tae-gyun Special Prosecutor Act,' he said, "I cannot speak on his behalf, but it seems the prosecution is conducting the investigation with considerable will," and added, "The prosecution has officially stated it will conduct a thorough investigation, so we need to watch how it unfolds."

Meanwhile, Han’s book covers the period from just after the declaration of emergency martial law on December 3 last year to his resignation as party leader. The book is divided into two parts: "Han Dong-hoon’s Choices" and "Han Dong-hoon’s Thoughts." "Han Dong-hoon’s Choices" narrates the 14 days involving opposition to martial law, resolution to lift martial law, attempts at orderly early resignation, passage of the presidential impeachment motion, and resignation as party leader. "Han Dong-hoon’s Thoughts" contains his political views and philosophy, including reasons for engaging in politics and his sense of duty as a public official.
