The arrest warrant application for Kang Seon-woo, an independent lawmaker formerly of the Democratic Party of Korea, has exhibited numerous errors related to key suspects' backgrounds. Despite police claims that these inaccuracies do not pertain to the essence of the allegations, the situation has raised concerns regarding the integrity of the investigation. A vote on the arrest agreement for Kang is anticipated to occur during the national assembly's next session next week.

In the warrant application dated the 20th, the police made inaccuracies regarding the candidate selection process for Kang in the 2020 general election for the Gangseo-gap constituency. The document inaccurately stated that former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju and attorney Kim Nam-guk applied for candidacy but were rejected due to disqualifications, when in fact it was the withdrawal of Kim's application after Jeong's exit that led to an open contest for the candidacy. This complicates the narrative surrounding Kang's political ascent and reflects poorly on the investigative procedures.

Prior to this, it was revealed that there were also errors related to the career details of Nam A-moo, a former aide who was the constituency's secretary. The police had claimed he worked in the offices of other lawmakers during a specific period, which was incorrect. This negligence raises questions about how the police gathered information and its implications for the arrest warrant process, especially given that a proper understanding of individuals' backgrounds is critical for the merit of such a legal request. The upcoming vote could have significant implications for Kang's political career depending on the assembly's decision, which is expected between the 24th and 26th of next week.
