A controversy erupts following allegations of a deal to dismiss prosecution against President Lee Jae-myung, as prominent figures in the Democratic Party express outrage and the Justice Minister denies any wrongdoing.
On October 10, a segment of Kim Eo-jun's 'News Factory' on YouTube fueled considerable controversy with claims made by former MBC reporter Jang In-soo regarding an alleged deal involving the dismissal of prosecution against President Lee Jae-myung. This has prompted a strong backlash from members of the Democratic Party, with prominent representatives publicly condemning the unfounded nature of these claims. Jeong Yong-ki, the party's chief spokesperson, emphasized in a radio interview the importance of basing allegations on objective facts, warning that without substantiation, the party would have to respond vehemently to such rumors that threaten the government.
