Democratic Party of Korea’s Supreme Council Meeting
“Opposition Representative Embarrasses Herself and Gives Special Treatment to VIP”
“Investigate ‘Living Power’ according to the Philosophy of Justice Yoon”, ‘[Edaily Reporter Lee Soo-bin] On the 22nd, the Democratic Party of Korea raised suspicions of special treatment regarding the prosecution’s private summons of Kim Geon-hee, the third lady, to an undisclosed location, calling it a “VIP investigation.” The party designated this as an “imperial investigation” and argued that Kim should definitely attend the hearing on the impeachment bill against President Yoon Suk-yeol at the National Assembly’s Legislation and Judiciary Committee on the 26th.’,

, ‘Acting President Park Chan-dae of the Democratic Party criticized the prosecution, saying, “The attitude of the prosecution bowing to power shows that they have no intention of fairly revealing the suspicions surrounding Kim.”.’,
,
, ‘He pointed out, “The prosecution’s past practice of publicly summoning the opposition leader multiple times, humiliating them, and branding them as criminals to manipulate public opinion has disappeared like melting snow in front of real VIPs.” He added, “The excuse of security issues is pitiful, and their arrogance and desperation are evident as they even pass over the Prosecutor General.”.’,
,
, ‘Acting President Park stated, “The superficial summons is simply an attempt to give Kim Geon-hee a clean slate, as the whole nation knows,” declaring, “The Democratic Party will swiftly push for a special investigation to thoroughly clarify the suspicions surrounding Kim Geon-hee without exceptions, special treatments, or sacred cows using the authority held by the National Assembly.”‘,
,
, ‘Supreme Council Member Jung Chung-rae, who also serves as the chairman of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, said, “Chun Doo-hwan, Roh Tae-woo, Lee Myung-bak, Park Geun-hye, and the late President Roh Moo-hyun all underwent public summons and investigations at the prosecution’s office,” and highlighted that Kim Geon-hee received a special investigation in an unheard-of location called ‘jurisdictional security office,’ which even past presidents had not faced.’,
,
, ‘He questioned, “While former Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung meticulously investigated even the slightest speck of dust, is Kim Geon-hee determined to leave no dust unturned to avoid prosecution?” He urged, “Isn’t investigating the ‘living power’ aligned with the governance philosophy of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol? Investigate the top-ranked Kim Geon-hee thoroughly according to the governance philosophy.”‘,
,
, ‘Supreme Council Member Jang Gyeong-tae criticized, “Investigating the first lady at the security headquarters is practically the same as having a suspect being investigated at home,” and rebuked, “In the end, they returned empty-handed without securing a single luxury bag that they claimed to have asked for back.”‘,
,
, ‘Jang, a top council member, pointed out, “With the unprecedented imperial investigation of Kim Geon-hee, the central prosecutor’s office has bypassed the Prosecutor General,” and raised the question, “Is the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office a dangerous place?”‘,
,
, ‘He continued, “The prosecution claims they conducted the summons at the ‘security office’ due to security and eye safety reasons,” sarcastically asking, “Is the Republic of Korea’s prosecution office a dangerous place?”‘,
,
, ‘Jang, a top council member, emphasized, “Even if they try to cover their eyes with a summons show, Kim Geon-hee cannot avoid attending the hearing as a witness,” vowing, “Kim Geon-hee will be awaiting to meet at the hearing on the 26th.”‘,
