On Friday, Kim Min Seok, the Senior Chief Member of the Democratic Party, declared, “The suspicion that martial law was imposed to cover up the Myung Tae Kyun case is increasingly solidifying into fact.”
During a Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly, Kim noted that Myung’s “fearful” comments have surfaced, along with former Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun’s testimony to prosecutors mentioning President Yoon Suk Yeol’s call for emergency measures regarding the “Myung Tae Kyun incident.”
Kim stressed the importance of thoroughly investigating whether martial law was declared to hide corruption involving Yoon and First Lady Kim Keon Hee and prevent her from going to prison. He added, “The Myung Tae Kyun investigation team at the Changwon District Prosecutor’s Office has been disbanded. We must introduce the Myung Tae Kyun Gate Special Prosecutor Act to uncover the motive behind the martial law declaration, connecting Myung Tae Kyun and First Lady Kim.
The previous day, Park Sung Jun, the Democratic Party’s Deputy Floor Leader, stated during a policy coordination meeting that they need a special prosecutor to ensure that election manipulation, public opinion manipulation, illegal interventions, and state affairs manipulation do not recur and to hold those responsible accountable before the law. “We will gather public support to advance the Myung Tae-kyun Special Prosecutor Act,” Park added.
The Democratic Party previously announced its intention to proceed with the Myung Tae Kyun Special Prosecutor Act and plans to introduce it as early as this month.
