The police have unveiled details regarding the arrest warrant request for independent lawmaker Kang Seon-woo, indicating that Kang allegedly utilized a political donation of 100 million KRW from former Seoul City Councilman Kim Kyung as a deposit for jeonse (long-term lease) on an apartment. The police report highlights this usage as significant evidence of potential evidence tampering by Kang, who has shown a dismissive attitude towards the charges. The report outlines discrepancies in Kang's statements, regarding the consumption of the said funds, raising serious concerns about his credibility and intent.

In the warrant application obtained by Hankyoreh on the 12th, the police emphasized Kang's lack of accountability and his tendency to shift blame onto his former aide in light of the allegations. It was noted that Kang's consistent denial of wrongdoing stands in stark contrast to the established facts of the case, where the police assert that he acknowledged the legitimacy of receiving the political donation while attempting to distance himself from the ensuing controversy. This pattern of behavior has led investigators to believe that Kang may continue to attempt to destroy evidence if further investigations were to proceed.

The implications for Kang Seon-woo, should the police's allegations prove true, are significant as they could highlight broader issues regarding political financing and accountability in South Korea. This case is also indicative of the ongoing struggles within the political realm regarding transparency, especially concerning the usage of funds meant for campaigns and how political donations are perceived within the fabric of electoral integrity. As investigations unfold, the scrutiny under which Kang finds himself may not only affect his political future but also shed light on systemic issues within the political framework.
