Jang Dong-hyuk Remains Silent Before Yoon Seok-yeol's First Trial Verdict, Kim Min-soo Raises Need for Political Interpretation Review on Insurrection Application
Ahead of Yoon Seok-yeol's first trial verdict, Jang Dong-hyuk, head of the ruling party, refrains from commenting while Kim Min-soo calls for careful review of political interpretations surrounding the insurrection charges.
On the morning of January 19, ahead of the first trial verdict for former President Yoon Seok-yeol, who faces the death penalty for insurrection charges, a high-ranking committee meeting took place where ruling party leader Jang Dong-hyuk chose not to comment on Yoon's ongoing trial. Jang's silence is particularly notable compared to previous scenarios where he actively engaged in criticism against President Lee Jae-myung, illustrating a cautious approach potentially tied to Yoon's precarious legal situation. Despite the silence on Yoon's case, committee members continue to express support for the 'Yoon Again' faction, indicating a commitment to challenge judicial decisions.
