– Host: Kim Tae-hyun, lawyer
– Guest: Chon Ha-ram, Reform Party proportional representative
– Kim Tae-hyun: 6 opposition parties held a joint press conference urging President Yoon Suk-yeol to accept the Chae Haemyung special investigation law. The Reform Party, including Chon Ha-ram, a newly elected representative, is included among the 6 opposition parties. Hello.
– Chon Ha-ram: Hello, this is Chon Ha-ram.
– Kim Tae-hyun: There is a cabinet meeting tomorrow.
– Chon Ha-ram: Yes.
– Kim Tae-hyun: According to reports, President Yoon Suk-yeol seems to be exercising his refusal right regarding the Chae Haemyung special investigation law, possibly tomorrow. With the joint press conference of the 6 opposition parties, do you think there could be pressure on President Yoon Suk-yeol to prevent him from exercising his refusal right?
– Chon Ha-ram: Ideally, that should be the case.
– Kim Tae-hyun: Should it ideally be like that?
– Chon Ha-ram: President Yoon Suk-yeol is known to disregard all political precedents and customs, so it is difficult to say whether he will feel significant pressure.
– Kim Tae-hyun: What did you want to say at the joint press conference of the 6 parties?
– Chon Ha-ram: The point is, let’s not abuse our power.
– Kim Tae-hyun: Abuse of power?
– Chon Ha-ram: That’s right. If we look back to when the President became president, ultimately, if we trace back, isn’t there a special investigation at the pinnacle, at the core of becoming President?
– Kim Tae-hyun: A special investigation into government corruption?
– Chon Ha-ram: Yes. So when there were talks of a special investigation into government corruption, even when all investigations were completed, it was not that a special investigation was initiated. Even if investigations were being conducted on a separate track, if there was public consensus and a recognized need for a special investigation, then the President took the lead as the head of the investigation team and became a national hero, right?
– Kim Tae-hyun: I see.
– Chon Ha-ram: Yes. That’s why even when the President, during his presidential candidacy, repeatedly refused special investigations, labeling anyone rejecting a special investigation into them as guilty, why is he now so adamantly rejecting the Chae Haemyung special investigation? This raises concerns and questions that need to be addressed.
