Kim Taeheum, Governor of Chungnam, directly refuted former representative Han Donghoon's claim on the 4th that metropolitan governors affiliated with the People Power Party supported the impeachment of President Yoon Sukyeol.

On his social media that day, Governor Kim stated, "I have never supported the impeachment of President Yoon Sukyeol and have consistently opposed it," adding, "Han Donghoon's claim in his book that metropolitan governors from our party took a hardline stance in favor of President Yoon's impeachment is fabrication and distortion."

Governor Kim emphasized, "My social media post was intended to urge participation in the vote last December 12, when the party was in disarray over whether to support or oppose the impeachment and whether to participate in the vote, to show a unified will in line with the party's position against impeachment."

He continued, "Former representative Han made this claim without properly checking the intent, simply citing some media reports," and added, "I do not know what his intentions are, but I deeply regret it."

Governor Kim pointed out, "From the moment President Yoon's public address was made, the person who demanded his expulsion from the party and resignation, and ultimately led to impeachment, was former representative Han."

He went on to say, "Even before the Constitutional Court’s decision was made, he was already preparing for an early presidential election," and added, "It is not surprising to see him show up as soon as the opportunity arises, but politicians should have a sense of duty."

Governor Kim Taeheum criticized, "Who would tolerate the person most responsible for the disastrous general election and impeachment now shamelessly revealing his political ambitions? As the saying goes, 'Cultivate oneself, regulate the family, govern the state, and bring peace to the world.' Someone lacking political competence pretending to be a leader only brings misfortune to the nation and its people."
