Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo actively denied suspicions that he was involved in Myung Tae-gyun’s so-called ‘golden phone’, saying, “Myung Tae-gyun is just one of hundreds of thousands of people I have met during my 30 years in politics.”
Mayor Hong emphasized on his Facebook page on the 21st, “The Special Prosecutor Act passed by the Democratic Party includes the Myeong Tae-gyun controversy, and many people are worried that I may also be involved, but Myeong Tae-gyun is just one of the hundreds of thousands of people I have met during my 30 years in politics.” did it
He said, “When working in politics, you will encounter fraudsters and thieves, and the problem will be whether you have engaged in illegal and illegal activities by hanging out with those people. “I have never once said that I do not know Myung Tae-gyun and that I have never talked to him on the phone.”
He continued, “But what is clear is that I knew from a long time ago that he was not a good person, so I never kept him around and treated him like anyone else, and I have never done anything illegal or evaded the law with him, so ever since the Myeong Tae-gyun incident occurred. “I was able to confidently say that he was a political broker, a braggart, and a fraud,” he added.
Mayor Hong claimed, “I have known since the last presidential primary that Myung Tae-gyun was attached to Yoon Seok-yeol and manipulated it, and I was worried that a big accident would occur later, but it has nothing to do with me, so there is nothing to worry about.”
He continued, “At least I’m not a foolish person who plays around with pollack germ. “Leftist media outlets are trying hard to find my involvement in Myung Tae-gyun’s phone, but it will be a futile effort,” he said. “But I know how to see people.”
Previously, Mr. Myeong’s legal representative, lawyer Park Sang-kwon, said that Mayor Hong was close to Mr. Myeong, and that in mid-April 2022, Mayor Hong spoke to Mr. Myeong on the phone asking him to ask former People Power Party Emergency Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in to reinstate him, and the person who heard this said He also claimed that there is.
