Policy Chief Kim Yong-beom dismissed… Kim Eui-kyeom as Legislation and Judiciary Committee Executive Secretary

President Lee Jae-myung accepted Policy Chief Kim Yong-beom's resignation in just one day. The host reported, “Today, President Lee Jae-myung accepted Policy Chief Kim Yong-beom's resignation right away, in just one day,” and mentioned that various interpretations regarding its background are emerging in political circles.

The fact that the resignation was accepted in just one day is unusual, and various observations are being made about the rapid decision by the presidential office.

The Lee Jae-myung administration appears to be focusing on achieving rapid results while maintaining its existing policy direction rather than changing its economic policy stance. The host commented, “The Lee Jae-myung administration has been pursuing its existing policy line, and to quickly achieve results under that, they appointed the most suitable practical experts through internal promotions at the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. All deputy ministers were promoted internally.” This indicates that the practical aspect of personnel selection has been strengthened through internal promotions in the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

This personnel change is interpreted as an intention to ensure continuity in economic policy while emphasizing rapid practical execution.

The People Power Party is protesting the appointment of Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom as the executive secretary of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee. The host stated, “Rep. Kim Seung-won was the executive secretary of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee, wasn't he? It seems Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom has now been appointed to that position,” indicating a change from Rep. Kim Seung-won to Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom as executive secretary.

The People Power Party is strongly challenging Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom's appointment, citing his past allegations regarding the Cheongdam-dong bar incident. This suggests that the conflict between the ruling and opposition parties over the appointment of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee's executive secretary could intensify within the National Assembly.

Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom emphasized in his personal remarks to the Legislation and Judiciary Committee that the prosecution had dropped charges regarding the Heukseok-dong allegations. He stated, “Regarding the Heukseok-dong case, I would like to mention that the prosecution has dismissed the charges,” effectively dismissing the related allegations.

Regarding the Cheongdam-dong bar incident, he said, “Regarding the Cheongdam-dong case, wasn't that a tumultuous time? It was a time of confrontation and conflict, and I will faithfully participate in the trial for that matter as it is.” He explained the political situation at the time and stressed his commitment to the trial.

In the Cheongdam-dong bar case trial, Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom's side is expected to argue for innocence based on favorable circumstances, such as the police's decision not to forward the case for prosecution. The host commented, “To make the Cheongdam-dong bar incident into a false fact, the police and prosecution, then under Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon, ultimately fabricated the incident, conscious of Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon's power. In fact, our goal is to reveal the truth of this crime.” This raises the possibility that the incident was fabricated, conscious of Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon's power.

Furthermore, the fact that the complaint against the cellist was dismissed without charges is also considered a factor that could positively influence the trial's outcome, expressing anticipation that the trial's result might differ from initial expectations.

The response of Lawyer Lee Jae-il, who represents the cellist in the Cheongdam-dong bar trial, is acting as a significant variable in the trial. The host commented, “The best assistant who provided us with an opportunity for a very favorable turn in the Cheongdam-dong bar trial, in my opinion, is Lawyer Lee Jae-il, who is representing the cellist.” This suggests that Lawyer Lee's strategy will have a positive impact on resolving the case.

Currently, Rep. Kim Eui-kyeom's side is preparing to submit favorable evidence to the court, and attention is focused on whether Lawyer Lee's future actions can change the course of the trial.
