[Gwangju=Newsis] Reporter Cho Sung-woo = Jang Dong-hyuk, the top candidate of the People Power Party, is giving a statement at the 4th National Convention of the People Power Party Gwangju, Jeonbuk, Jeonnam, and Jeju Joint Sales Meeting held in Gwangju, Seo-gu, Kim Dae-jung Convention Center on the afternoon of the 8th. 2024.07.08.

, “[Seoul=Newsis] Reporter Choi Young-seo = Jang Dong-hyuk, the top candidate of the People Power Party, claimed on the 9th that the suspicions of ‘ignoring’ the message of Kim Geon-hee First Lady alleged to have been led by the pro-Yoon camp and Won Hee-ryong’s camp were unfounded.”,
,
, ‘During an interview on MBC Radio\’s “Kim Jong-bae’s Focus” on the morning of that day, Jang said, “Looking at the current reports by the media and various mentions by individuals, the public may have an idea of who is behind them.”‘,
,
, ‘When the host asked, “Is it the pro-Yoon and Won Hee-ryong camps? Isn’t there any room for other interpretations?” Jang replied, “I also think so.”‘,
,
, ‘Regarding the involvement of the presidential office, he responded in a negative manner, saying, “Seeing five consecutive messages being constantly disclosed and such, I wonder if the Blue House is involved.”‘,
,
, ‘Jang said, “Even though Han Dong-hoon, as the head of the committee, ignored the messages, he never discussed them with me, even when I was the head office manager. I have never seen them” and said, “He mentioned that I should apologize and conveyed his position, but based on the current atmosphere on the other side, it seems unlikely that he will do so. That’s all I said.”‘,
,
, ‘He emphasized, “Han never showed this message to anyone, not even to reporters, and he doesn’t have all the messages that were disclosed yesterday.”‘,
,
, ‘Jang refrained from discussing the specific contents of the text messages that were made public on TV Chosun the day before.’,
,
, ‘He responded to a question about whether there was a clash of opinions between the Blue House and the Yongsan Headquarters regarding the conditional acceptance of a special prosecutor for Kim, saying, “I have not officially heard about it.”‘,
,
, ‘However, when it came to the \’comment team\’ mentioned in the messages, he said, “It’s not interpreted separately,” but asked, “Nowadays and back then, isn’t it possible that the Blue House, rather than the President or First Lady, is not receiving accurate information about Han Dong-hoon, and distorted information depending on the position of the people conveying the information.”‘,
,
, ‘He said that he had not heard directly that President Yoon had expressed displeasure and also denied any conversation concerning the Seocheon fire scene, saying, “I was sitting in the same place on the returning train, and there was no conversation on that matter.”‘,
,
, ‘Regarding the pro-Won side bringing up the suspicion related to Han’s time as the head of the committee, Jang set a deadline, saying, “Han strongly dislikes using personal friendships to send him messages asking him to look closely at a certain incident or attack Jun-seok at that time.”‘,
,
, ‘Responding to former Youth Top Member Jang Ye-chan\’s claim that Han sent a message asking him to attack former President Lee in his role as the head of the committee, Jang countered, “It seems like he thinks of himself as on the level of the President or First Lady,” and said, “Comparing communication with party officials and communication with the presidential office, and putting them on the same level, does not seem convincing.”‘,
,
, ‘Shin Ji-ho, former lawmaker and director of Han’s camp on that day, also criticized the text controversy on KBS Radio’s “Outburst Focus” saying, “I do not think that the presidential office is openly interfering in this.”‘,
,
, ‘Shin said, “Those who are pro-Yoon are using the President’s spouse and First Lady as bait to hand over to the opposition” and called them “Yoon, who licked the honey of power. As they are chasing after the easily visible power, they are essentially committing an act of defection.”‘,
,
, ‘He added, “The top candidate who has set the trend, when you look recently, is gaining sympathy to the extent that the other three candidates are launching a frontal assault.”‘,
