Democratic Party lawmaker Ko Min-jung urged the new Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon to investigate the summons of President Yun Seok-yeol’s spouse Kim Kun-hee.
During a comprehensive policy inquiry by the National Assembly Budget and Settlement Special Committee on the 19th, Assemblyman Koh compared the blacklist case of the Ministry of Industry and the Deutsche Motors stock price manipulation case to a minister and said, “Why is the investigation by Minister Baek Woon-gyu in relation to the ‘Ministry of Industry’s blacklist case’ proceeding so fast? “The investigation is fast after 3 or 4 years, but the investigation into Deutsche Motors, which has been 10 years ago, should also be done quickly,” he emphasized.
In the case of the ‘Ministry of Industry and Trade’s blacklist case’, it is suspected that five people, including former Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Baek Un-gyu and former Vice Minister Lee In-ho, persuaded the existing presidents to resign in order to promote the nuclear phase-out policy.
Minister Han replied, “It is more accurate to say that it was a very slow process rather than a fast one.
When Assemblyman Koh asked, “Is there a need to strictly investigate dead powers?”, Minister Han said, “I think the investigation should be the same even if the name of the person involved is obscured.”
Rep. Ko asked, “How would you proceed with the investigation into the living power?” and “Are you going to investigate Mrs. Kim?”
Minister Han said, “The investigation is already underway, and a lot is going on.
Mrs. Kim is suspected of providing funds as ‘Jeonju’ to stock-manipulating forces, including former Deutsche Motors Chairman Oh-su Kwon.
Prosecutors turned over the stock price manipulation gang, including former Chairman Kwon and Mrs. Lee, who managed the securities accounts of Mrs. Kim, to trial at the end of last year, but it is known that they are considering a written investigation into Mrs. Kim.
When Rep. Ko asked, “How did you feel when you were acquitted in the case of collusion with prosecutors?”, Minister Han replied, “I think it is a case of collusion.”
“I said it was because of obsession with power and stalking,” he replied, “I still think so. I said that I thought that there were people who agreed with me and there were people who didn’t.”
When Rep. Ko asked, “How would you feel about Mr. Woo-sung Yoo?” Minister Han said, “I cannot answer because it is a personal feeling.”
Assemblyman Koh asked, “Do you think that prosecutor Lee Si-won, who was disciplined for ‘Yoo Woo-sung’s spy manipulation controversy’, was appointed as secretary for public service discipline in the presidential office?
Minister Han said, “I was a person who was even assaulted on my own during the prosecution’s investigation.” “The prosecutor who assaulted me was promoted. I will not do such a thing.”
When a minister did not reveal his personal feelings regarding Mr. Yoo, the lawmaker said, “Isn’t the minister a human being? He has lived with the law so far, so he expected it to be very dry, but as a minister of a ministry, how can he not have such empathy?” . A minister said, “I will make a lot of effort.”
The video, in which Congressman Koh intensively asks a question to a minister for 15 minutes, has garnered more than 2 million views on YouTube.
In a Facebook post on the same day, current affairs critic Yoo Chang-seon said, “Democratic lawmakers are no match for Minister Han Dong-hoon.”
