, ‘ Former PPP Representative Kim Young-seon received a strategic nomination in this constituency and was elected.’,
,
, ” Kang Hye-kyung, who was in charge of Kim’s campaign finances, testified as a witness during the National Assembly’s Legislative and Judiciary Committee audit last September. She claimed that Myung provided an ‘illegal opinion poll’ for then-presidential candidate Yoon Seok-youl, and that Kim received a nomination for the June 2022 by-election in return, with Kim Kun-hee allegedly involved in the nomination process.”,
,
, ‘ Furthermore, the Democratic Party held an emergency press conference on October 31, releasing a recorded call between Myung and President Yoon the day before Yoon’s inauguration and a day ahead of the PPP’s nomination announcement for the June 2022 parliament by-election (Changwon Uichang). They claimed interference in the nomination process by President Yoon.’,
,
, ‘ The recording included President Yoon saying to Myung, “I’ve been working hard for Kim Young-seon since the primary, so do something for Kim Young-seon, though there’s a lot of talk in the party.”’,
,
, ‘ The prosecutors are examining whether the PPP’s Nomination Management Committee was involved in the nomination process of Kim.’,
,
, ‘ Besides Kim, the prosecution is reportedly evaluating the nomination interference allegations against Myung regarding Governor Kim Jin-tae of Gangwon Province, Governor Park Wan-su of South Gyeongsang Province, and others.’,
