Suspicious Relationship Between Broker and National Assembly Member

Yang Su-jin herself emphasized her close relationship with Assemblyman Kim Seung-won, stating, "I've known Seung-won oppa since 2004. It's a 22-year relationship." These remarks suggest that their relationship extends beyond simple professional collaboration to a personal bond.

The photo was registered as Yang Su-jin's KakaoTalk profile picture and shows a high degree of intimacy, including the addition of cat characters, to the point of being mistaken for a couple.

According to the revealed text messages, Yang Su-jin urged a meeting with Assemblyman Kim Seung-won, saying, "I miss you so much I'm crying. I can be there in an hour. Come to that restaurant and bar in Yeouido." Critic Park Sang-kyu cited this text, pointing out that the two were in such close private communication that they would meet even for 20-30 minutes.

In a text message conversation, Yang Su-jin used the phrase, "I'll bring a bunch of items." Critic Park Sang-kyu questioned the nature of these 'items,' asking, "What on earth could those items be? Money? Some specific medicine?" This remark raised suspicions that the 'items' could be significant and related to hundreds of billions of won in vested interests.

He stated, "Kim Gang-lip, during the Moon Jae-in administration in 2021, when Kim Seung-won asked him via text and phone to expedite the process, Yang Su-jin monitored every step." As a result, the clinical trial approval period was halved.

Critic Park Sang-kyu explained, "They sold 6.3 billion won worth of shares and 5 billion won worth of convertible bonds—which can later be converted into shares—to Sejong Medical, a KOSDAQ-listed company, totaling 11.3 billion won." It was reported that immediately after clinical approval, anticipating hundreds of billions of won in profits, they disposed of 6.3 billion won worth of shares and 5 billion won worth of convertible bonds to Sejong Medical.

Despite such lobbying, the stock price later plummeted when the product was disqualified in animal testing. Critic Park Sang-kyu stated, "Later, when the animal testing was disqualified, the stock price plummeted, falling to a quarter of its value, then 500 won from 10,000 won, and eventually zero." As a result, the stock price dropped from 10,000 won to 0, and over 30,000 small investors suffered massive losses, currently pursuing legal action.

He questioned, "They received investment in that company, 600 million won. Would they invest 600 million won just for a phone call without any other reason?" Furthermore, allegations of 'parking' for the remaining 400 million won were raised, emphasizing the need for a special prosecutor investigation to uncover the truth.

This cash delivery appears to be linked to Assemblyman Kim Seung-won's intervention to resolve obstacles in the practical process.

Critic Park Sang-kyu quoted Assemblyman Kim's remarks, "Minister, you need to handle this properly. And he asked for a report." Assemblyman Kim's pressure led to the MFDS Minister instructing his secretary to have the section chief handle it, escalating suspicions of lobbying for personal gain beyond simple civil complaint processing.

Critic Park Sang-kyu refuted Assemblyman Kim Seung-won's side's claim of 'simple civil complaint delivery,' expressing skepticism. He stated, "I think it's not a public civil complaint, but one riddled with private interests." This argument points out that the resolution of civil complaints by the National Assembly member is connected to personal gain rather than public interest, and that the continuous inappropriate relationship makes it more than a simple civil complaint.

Critic Park Sang-kyu mentioned, "You need to see the picture of Yang Su-jin and Judge Jeong meeting at a bar in Yeouido, where Judge Jeong is sticking out a 'V' sign." He pointed out the private meeting at a Yeouido bar and the photo, which could escalate into an issue of inappropriate intimacy between a judge and a suspect.

Assemblyman Kim attempted to sell the facility, but Critic Park Sang-kyu emphasized the facility's illegality, stating, "This is not a school but an illegal facility. It was not reported. It must be shut down."
