Speaking with reporters that day, Minister Jeong said, "Tomorrow, I will clearly explain the facts and circumstances regarding the allegations of receiving money and valuables. Once I explain, you will find that the matter is quite trivial."

Previously, a media outlet reported that Yoon Youngho, the former head of the Unification Church World Headquarters-considered the second-in-command at the Unification Church-testified during the Kim Keonhee special investigation that he had delivered money and valuables to five current and former lawmakers from both the ruling and opposition parties, including Minister Jeong.
