Independent lawmaker Kim Byeong-gi, formerly a member of the Democratic Party, attended the police station for the third time on the morning of November 11, facing a series of allegations, including receiving illegal political funds and nepotism regarding his son's employment. The police began investigating him as a suspect and have conducted previous questioning sessions on two consecutive days, raising concerns over his involvement in various corrupt activities including acceptance of illegal political donations and improper jobs for his son.

Upon arriving at the police department in Mapo, Kim responded briefly to media inquiries, stating he would comply with the investigation but declined to answer specific questions regarding the alleged receipt of a bribe of 30 million won. His allegations include receiving illegal campaign donations from council members in Dongjak-gu, accepting hotel vouchers worth 1.6 million won from Korean Air, and attempting to conceal misuse of public funds by his spouse. Notably, these claims are compounded by ongoing testimony from associates, indicating a pattern of misconduct that raises serious questions about his political integrity.

The police plan to thoroughly investigate all the allegations against Kim before deciding on any further action regarding his legal status. This development is part of a broader scrutiny of political figures in South Korea, which could have significant implications not only for Kim's future but also for public trust in the political system, especially considering the potential for increased scrutiny and reform in the wake of such allegations.
