Minjoo, “Illegal interference in state affairs” on phone call between Yeon and Myung Tae-gyun
Lee Jae-myeong “Beyond intervention in nominations, he actually commands… “It is a serious situation that cannot be easily overcome.”
Noh’s internal affairs begin review of allegations of violation of law… Emergency meeting held ahead of tomorrow’s outdoor rally
“It appears that the President went beyond just physically intervening in nominations and actually gave commands and instructions. “It is a very serious situation that cannot be easily overcome.” (Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea)
“The Yoon Seok-yeol administration had no state affairs and was full of state affairs.” (Democratic Party floor leader Park Chan-dae)
On the 31st, the Democratic Party released an audio recording containing the circumstances in which President Yoon Seok-yeol, as the elected president on May 9, 2022, intervened in the nomination of former lawmaker Kim Young-seon ahead of the National Assembly by-election in June of that year, and defined it as “government interference.” . The Democratic Party plans to raise the level of its offensive by holding an emergency meeting on the 1st with all lawmakers and local chairmen gathered in one place ahead of the large-scale outdoor rally announced for November 2nd.
While the Democratic Party’s floor leadership began reviewing President Yoon’s alleged violations of the law, hardliners within the party began proposing a constitutional amendment to shorten President Yoon’s term of office by two years.
● Democratic Party considers ‘Proposal of Special Prosecutor Yoon Seok-yeol Act’
On this day, the Democratic Party’s emergency press conference was held by floor leader Park Chan-dae himself. Floor Leader Park said, “For the first time, evidence proving President Yoon’s involvement in the nomination has been confirmed,” and “The incredible claims and rumors that followed the Myeong Tae-gyun incident have been proven to be true.”
The Democratic Party is internally reviewing allegations of President Yoon’s violation of the Public Official Election Act, the Political Party Act, and abuse of power. A key member of the National Assembly said in a phone call, “Since he used his position as president to exert influence to change the outcome of the nomination, charges may be applied.”
In addition to the third ‘Kim Kun-hee Special Prosecution Act’, which newly added suspicions of Myung Tae-gyun’s manipulation of public opinion polls and the involvement of Kim Kun-hee, the Democratic Party is said to be considering proposing a new ‘Special Prosecution Act on Yoon Seok-yeol’s government’s illegal influence in state affairs’ or using a permanent special prosecution.
The Democratic Party predicted additional revelations, saying, “Reports are pouring in right after the press conference.” It is known that the Democratic Party has internally secured additional physical evidence containing the circumstances of President Yoon and Mrs. Kim’s involvement in the People Power Party’s nomination. It is also reported that there is exposé material on Rep. Lee Jun-seok of the New Reform Party, who was the representative of the People Power Party at the time.
● Hardliners: “Shorten presidential term by 2 years”
Movements to shorten the president’s term are also in full swing, led by hardliners in the Democratic Party. On the 1st, lawmakers Min Hyeong-bae and Jang Gyeong-tae launched the ‘Constitutional Amendment Coalition Preparatory Group for Term Shortening Constitutional Amendments’ and decided to propose a constitutional amendment to shorten President Yoon’s term by two years and introduce a four-year reappointment system. Instead of impeachment, which could easily provoke backlash from moderates, the government is pushing for an early presidential election by shortening the term through constitutional amendment. It is reported that about 30 lawmakers from the Democratic Party and the Fatherland Innovation Party have already expressed their intention to participate.
Minor opposition parties, including the Fatherland Innovation Party and the Progressive Party, proposed a ‘pan-opposition alliance’ to pass the National Assembly’s impeachment bill against President Yoon.
Some even called for President Yoon’s resignation. Rep. Kim Seung-won, secretary of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly, said, “President Yoon should step down on his own and be investigated, or accept a special prosecutor.” Rep. Jeong Dong-young, a five-term politician, also said, “There is no need to resign.”
The political world believes that behind the Democratic Party’s offensive, there is also an intention to divert attention from Representative Lee’s ‘November judicial risk’. Representative Lee is scheduled to be sentenced in the first trial on November 15th and 25th on charges of the Public Official Election Act and instigation of perjury. Representative Lee also encouraged his supporters to participate in the outdoor rally through social networking services (SNS) that day, saying, “Please cover Seoul Station with a blue wave of justice.”

Hot news now
The Democratic Party of Korea has recently raised serious accusations against President Yoon Seok-yeol after releasing an audio recording that allegedly confirms his illegal intervention in the nomination process prior to the June 2022 National Assembly by-election. During an emergency press conference, party leaders claimed this audio serves as “physical evidence” of President Yoon’s overreach into the electoral process, arguing it constitutes a significant violation of the Public Official Election Act and other political laws.
Lee Jae-myeong, the party leader, emphasized the severity of the situation, insinuating that Yoon’s actions went beyond mere intervention to active command, representing a profound breach of acceptable conduct in governance. Floor leader Park Chan-dae highlighted that the claims surrounding the previously contentious Myeong Tae-gyun incident have now been substantiated.
In light of these allegations, the Democratic Party is contemplating serious moves, including the creation of a ‘Special Prosecution Act on Yoon Seok-yeol’s government’s illegal influence in state affairs.’ Simultaneously, hardliners within the party are advocating for a constitutional amendment aimed at shortening President Yoon’s term by two years, instead of pursuing impeachment, which could alienate moderate members.
Minor opposition parties have also joined forces to explore avenues for impeachment, amplifying calls for Yoon’s resignation. This political tumult is being viewed through the lens of Representative Lee’s upcoming trial, with potential implications for the Democratic Party’s objectives and strategies.
As the political climate intensifies, preparations for a significant outdoor rally have been announced, signaling the Democratic Party’s commitment to pressing their agenda and maintaining momentum in their challenge against President Yoon’s administration.
