, ‘On this day, Park Eun-jeong and Cha Gyu-geun, members of the Jo Guk Innovation Party’s Special Committee for the Premature End of the Prosecutorial Dictatorship, held a press conference at the Government Complex in Gwacheon, stating that “Kim’s indictment on these charges is the first of its kind.”‘,
, ‘According to the Jo Guk Innovation Party, “based on overall media reports, Kim Geon-hee, who received luxury goods worth over 3 million won from Pastor Choi Jae-young in September 2022, allegedly received appointments as a national advisory committee member by former US Congressman Kim Chang-jun, received requests for national cemetery burial services, and directed then secretary- and staff-level officials to introduce the issue to Pastor Choi, claiming that she took part in asking them to assess these requests.”‘,

, ‘The Jo Guk Innovation Party concluded by saying, “We hope that the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission will swiftly and thoroughly investigate the involved parties and punish them strictly considering the seriousness of the matter,” and added, “We hope that the truth behind the luxury bag reception case that was revealed through the investigation of the prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol’s ‘destroying evidence’ investigation and the Ha Se-wol investigation will be clarified.”‘]
