, ‘Rep. Sung Il-jong, Secretary-General of the People Power Party, criticized it as a ‘, “very petty act”, ‘ to send a letter urging cooperation for the passage of a special prosecutor (special investigator) law to ruling party lawmakers with Rep. Park Ju-min of the Democratic Party.’,
,
, ‘Rep. Park sent a letter containing messages from another marine mother who participated in the search for missing persons along with Rep. Chae Sang-byeong to all 113 lawmakers of the People Power Party. This was to lead the defection of ruling party lawmakers to force a revote at the National Assembly plenary session on the 28th, when President Yoon Seok-yeol exercises his veto power. Rep. Park exposed the friendly gesture and pressured them to cooperate.’,
,
, ‘On BBS radio on the 23rd, Rep. Sung raised his voice, saying, “Sending a letter to lawmakers after putting a trick in the bill and trying to maximize the political effect? Is this something that can happen?” He expressed anger, saying it was something that ‘should not happen’ and ‘cannot happen.’,
,
, ‘Rep. Sung claimed that among the special prosecutor bills, the provision that only recommends special prosecutors from the Democratic Party and allows the prosecutor to provide constant media briefings on the investigation process was a ‘trick. ‘ Responding to criticism about including a provision for constant media briefings in the past, such as during the investigation into the power abuse scandal, Rep. Sung refuted, saying that “the power abuse scandal was created by Democratic Party officials, while the military death accident occurred due to the military’s negligence during an operation and was not handled properly.” He argued that it was not a political issue. He also pointed out the fairness issue by mentioning, ‘In the era of President Moon Jae-in in 2019, they made regulations on publicizing criminal cases, so they could not make any announcements, but they allow briefings on this case.”‘,

“Should the ruling party support a special prosecutor for the president’s impeachment?” Opposition too

,
,
, ‘As the Democratic Party shakes the card of President Yoon’s impeachment in relation to the special prosecutor bill proposed by Rep. Chae Sang-byeong, there is also opposition to seeking cooperation from the People Power Party. Rep. Shin Dong-wook, elected from Seocho-gu of the People Power Party, said on SBS radio, “If the Democratic Party says, ‘Help us reveal the truth about the death of a soldier who has sacrificed for the country,’ the ruling party might be moved at least in part by that, but if they say, ‘We are pushing this special prosecutor to impeach the president,’ how can we support that?”‘,
,
, ‘Chung Sye-kyun, the chief of the Democratic Party, said at the party’s highest council meeting the day before, “The impeachment train is starting.” And party’s chief Go Min-jeong also said on the radio, “He’s continually pouring fuel in the direction of impeachment.”‘,
