(Did you know it will be used to fund the election?)
“I know it as a primary fund.”
He also said that all the relevant evidence that the prosecution had, such as a memo from lawyer Nam Wook writing down the time of distribution of the money and a box containing money, all matched the facts.

“Memo from Namwook? Yes, that’s because I delivered it… Ah, I’m the box that delivered.”
It was also explained that the prosecution will check if the money goes into the box as stated, but the answer was not clear if the box secured by the prosecution had been presented to Vice President Kim Yong.
He explained that he did not save the data in the cloud provided to the prosecution, but instead of the discarded mobile phone, he gave something that he could explain.
He also said that Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, was not present in various chat rooms on Telegram.
Vice President Yong Kim is still in a position to oppose the investigation, saying there is no direct evidence that money was distributed to him.
The prosecution, which has extended the detention of Vice President Kim until the 7th of next month, plans to expand the investigation into allegations of entertainment during the Daejang-dong and Wirye project after completing the investigation into illegal political funds within this period.
Meanwhile, ‘Crew Daejang-dong’ started seriously talking about Lee Jae-myung during the trial.
Lawyer Nam Wook told accountant Jeong Young-hak, who was chosen as a witness, “Do you remember that Mayor Lee Jae-myung agreed to the final decision on the site of a rental apartment in Daejang-dong early in 2015, and that in the spring of the same year, Mr. Do you remember?” he asked.
Accountant Jung replied, “I don’t remember.”
