Yang Su-jin Appears at Hearing, Intensifying Confrontation Between Ruling and Opposition Parties

He clarified that he carries two notebooks and that there is another notebook in addition to the one in question. He revealed that the names in the memo were a list of potential candidates for the Seoul mayoral by-election.

He analyzed that the use of English initials to denote names in political circles is typically reserved for VIPs. He added that it is questionable whether Rep. Kim, a Seoul assembly member whose constituency is Yeongdeungpo, would write his own name so small.

This is part of a strong response stance, including initiating legislation for National Assembly suspension of duties.

Critic Park Sang-gyu analyzed that from the Democratic Party's perspective, holding a by-election might be disadvantageous, so there is a possibility that Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon's appeal could be extended. He predicted that the Democratic Party would indefinitely delay Mayor Oh Se-hoon's appeal to avoid a crushing defeat, waiting until the end of October to determine the timing of the Seoul mayoral by-election.

Critic Park Sang-gyu stated that the angle at which Rep. Kim Min-seok's notebook content was photographed suggests it was an angle meant for reporters to capture. However, Rep. Kim himself explained that he merely entered the main session hall to look at his notebook because no one else was there. This analysis suggests the possibility that he intentionally displayed his notebook to reporters to expose his agenda.

Critic Park Sang-gyu analyzed that the photo in question contains highly suspicious elements. This is interpreted as the ruling party intensifying its offensive against Rep. Kim Seung-won and hints at securing evidence.

Critic Park Sang-gyu emphasized Yang Su-jin's threatening demeanor, stating that such remarks are typical of a professional killer. He analyzed that the statement goes beyond simple threats and implies the actual ability to inflict harm.

The problem was pointed out that this space was being used as a play area for child development. This facility receives government support vouchers and is suspected of being an illegal, unauthorized facility. Counterarguments have also been raised regarding the sincerity of care for people with disabilities.

However, the Democratic Party rejected every single one of them. Critic Park Sang-gyu criticized that a hearing without witnesses would become a 'perfunctory hearing,' merely listening to Rep. Kim Seung-won's explanations.

The People Power Party demanded the selection of 48 witnesses and reference persons, including 33 key witnesses, for Rep. Kim Seung-won's hearing. In contrast, the Democratic Party insisted on proceeding with the hearing without witnesses. Critic Park Sang-gyu criticized that a hearing without witnesses would ultimately become a 'perfunctory hearing,' merely listening to Rep. Kim Seung-won's one-sided explanations, and pointed out that it would be difficult to uncover the truth.

With 5 days remaining until the scheduled hearing date (the 15th), the variables that could reverse the situation are unknown. Critic Park Sang-gyu expressed concern that the hearing would practically proceed without witnesses, thereby diminishing its meaning.

This incident, which occurred on the eve of the May 18th anniversary, is likely to serve as a political burden on Rep. Kim Min-seok's past record. Critic Park Sang-gyu stated that this incident constantly brings up Rep. Kim Min-seok's past.

Critic Park Sang-gyu stated that he secured photos of the entertainment establishment's hall through additional reporting. The cast members added that the name NHK suggests it was a room salon (a type of hostess bar).

Mentioning the past revelations by fellow member Kim Yoon-young, it was pointed out that Rep. Yong Hye-in's response, despite advocating feminism, caused internal conflict. This led to criticism of the discrepancy between Rep. Yong Hye-in's feminist claims and her actual actions.

Rep. Yang, who had maintained an in-person attendance policy, announced that he would prepare for the confirmation hearing from home. Critic Park Sang-gyu raised suspicions that this change of stance might be an attempt to reduce external contact by staying at home under the guise of preparing for the hearing.

Critic Park Sang-gyu questioned whether someone facing such allegations could be expected to fulfill the role of defense minister. This led to criticism of the nominee's morality and qualifications.
