A representative from the office of Kang Min-guk, the ruling party secretary of the National Assembly's Political Affairs Committee, told Asia Economy on the 29th, "Representative Ku, TMON CEO Ryu Kwang-jin, and WEMAKEPRICE CEO Ryu Hwa-hyun have expressed their intention to attend the National Assembly," adding, "Since attendance is voluntary, there is no compulsion, so we need to keep monitoring until the meeting tomorrow." The content of the questions will also be decided depending on their attendance.

If he attends, it will be the first time Representative Ku appears in an official capacity since the settlement delay controversy erupted. Although affected customers have occupied the building since the 24th, Representative Ku has yet to make an appearance.

On this day, Representative Ku revealed for the first time through a press release distributed to reporters that he intends to take responsibility for the TMON and WEMAKEPRICE incidents by offering his personal assets, including his shares in Qoo10.
