, “Kim Nam-guk, a former member of the Democratic Party who left the party due to the so-called ‘controversy over owning 6 billion won worth of virtual assets,’ has returned to the party after about a year.”,
,
, “On the 13th, the Democratic Party’s Supreme Council decided to grant party membership to 6,082 individuals, including Kim Nam-guk and those who were members of the satellite party, the Democratic Party of Korea (Minjoo Party), through the review results of the Membership Qualification Assessment Committee.”,
,
, “However, 40 of the applicants were deemed ineligible for membership transfer to the Democratic Party due to reasons such as being previously expelled from the party, and 505 individuals were placed under ‘continued review.'”,
,
, “Amid criticisms of ‘tactical reinstatement,’ the Democratic Party explained, ‘Kim was not expelled or penalized but voluntarily left the party, so it was determined that there were no disqualifying reasons.'”,
,
, “Last May, Kim voluntarily left the party when controversy arose over owning a large amount of virtual assets and engaging in coin trading during a parliamentary committee meeting.”,
,
, “Having been an independent, Kim joined the Minjoo Party ahead of the April 10 election.”,
,
, “According to the regular asset declaration report of lawmakers released by the National Assembly’s Ethics Committee, as of December 31 last year, Kim reported holding virtual assets worth a total of 1.544 billion won, including 994,900 TORNADO, 154,680 APIFT, and 456,930 CLENTON.”,
