Democratic Party in Emergency Over Arrest Warrant for Kim Byung-kee and More

This statement was made during a broadcast featuring the CEO of Realmeter, where Kim pointed to Lee's lack of direct communication as a reason for the potential decline in approval ratings.

Yang Su-jin has been linked to Kim since 2004, and there are indications that she also solicited and lobbied other lawmakers, including former Democratic Party leader Song Young-gil.

Concerns about evidence tampering were raised in connection with 13 allegations against Kim, and as a sitting lawmaker, a vote on a parliamentary motion for arrest is required.

Concerns about personal information leaks and criticisms of the educational purpose of the China exploration persist.

This is even lower than the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions, reflecting the real estate sentiment in Seoul and recent controversies over candidate nominations. There are also criticisms that there are limitations in the communication structure with the Democratic Party's supporters.

Democratic Party Representative Kim Min-seok mentioned pursuing a constitutional amendment, citing the inclusion of the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement spirit in the preamble of the constitution, during his parliamentary floor leader speech. Lee Jae-myung also echoed the constitutional amendment during his visit to France. However, some view this as a 'diversion' strategy to cover up various issues, such as Lee's judicial risks.

They maintain that without such measures, the sincerity of the constitutional amendment argument cannot be recognized.

Kim referred to an entertainment establishment run by a former client he represented as a restaurant, and he is criticized for significantly damaging his credibility during the explanation process, including the release of recordings. Comparisons to Lee Jae-myung's past remarks also lead to accusations of hypocrisy.

In addition to candidate Kim Seung-won, former lawmaker Choi Jae-seong and former party leader Song Young-gil are mentioned as lobbying targets. Claims have been made that key officials, including the former Senior Secretary for Political Affairs and the Commissioner of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, were involved. Consequently, the necessity for a special prosecutor in the COVID-19 new drug gate is being emphasized.

It is claimed that the commissioner directly instructed employees to approve clinical trials at the request of a ruling party lawmaker, after which the stock prices of companies invested in the drug surged and plummeted, causing harm to ordinary citizens. With suspicions of involvement by Moon Jae-in administration officials also raised, there is a growing call for a thorough investigation.

The confirmation hearing for Justice Minister nominee Kim Seung-won is struggling with difficulties in selecting witnesses and references, and submitted materials are insufficient. Furthermore, there is talk that the final trial for brokers Yang and Kang will be held on the same day as the hearing, leading to analysis that the opposition's points of attack could be strategically aligned with the trial schedule. The opposition is pressing for witness requests but is facing difficulties due to the ruling party's opposition.

This could lead to a third-party bribery charge, and questions are also growing about the causal relationship between the 5 million won donation Kim received and the investment promise, as well as the circumstances of the deferred prosecution.

Additionally, it was disclosed that Kim's vehicle had been impounded three times, raising ethical concerns.

The refusal to withdraw the nomination despite calls for it also suggests the possibility of Lee's micromanagement of personnel appointments, causing controversy even within the party.

With the disappearance of the dual structure of initial police investigation and prosecutorial supplementary investigation, the police's authority to conclude investigations has been strengthened, effectively transforming the investigative system into a single-instance police system. Concerns are being raised that this could lead to prosecutors mechanically prosecuting defendants, and a structural risk where it becomes difficult to correct cases where victims and perpetrators are reversed. The expanded role of the police in the investigation stage is criticized for potentially leading to a decline in investigative credibility and gaps in victim protection.

It is being pointed out that the abolition of prosecutorial investigative authority is weakening the momentum of police investigations. Cases of investigations proceeding without a proper understanding of complaint contents are frequent amidst an overload of cases. Furthermore, with prosecutors, who previously served as victims' advocates, no longer performing that role, victims face an increased financial burden of having to hire their own lawyers. This demonstrates how changes in the investigative system directly impact victims, leading to growing concerns that victims may not be fully protected.

This figure is criticized for revealing the limitations of the current investigative system. Drawing on past experience where prosecutors corrected over 40% of investigations during their training, it was pointed out that the secondary damage suffered by victims due to case overload and system breakdown is severe.

Concerns have been raised that the 'phone-free' policy, which restricts smartphone use, could infringe on students' right to learn, and questions have been posed about whether it is forcing them to learn about a socialist system. Criticism regarding the inappropriateness of a policy that sends students to a country with human rights issues is growing.

It is argued that smartphones can be used as educational tools and that students' freedom of thought, acquired through information access, needs protection. The emphasis is on the need for an educational approach to improve problematic usage habits, rather than viewing smartphones themselves as the issue.

Unhygienic Chinese food ingredient practices, such as pickling cabbage with embalming fluid or dyeing lettuce, were mentioned, intensifying distrust in food hygiene. In this situation, concerns are growing about whether Korean students can eat safely in China.
