Democratic Party Rep. Jeong Jeong-soon, who even issued a request for arrest by the court on charges of violating the election law.



I visited the National Assembly Hall to meet him who refused to attend the prosecution's request, but



[Aide Jung Jeong-soon (National Assembly Assembly Hall): (Where are you now?)

After receiving the report of preparation for the National Assembly, you will be conducting the National Assembly tomorrow.] I



called the local office, but



[Secretary of Representative Jeong-soon Jeong (Regional Office): (Are you a member of the local office?) No.

Congressman is not here.

I am in Seoul.

Could also be, you may call to meet.



Yesterday, the Democratic Party's in-house representative even called for the prosecution to attend, but there was no response.



When he asked if he would be able to undergo an investigation by the Prosecutors' Office today without the schedule of the National Assembly's National Territorial Commission, he answered, "We have a schedule such as preparing for the National Assembly."



Rep. Chung is accused of violating the election law for committing accounting fraud during the 4·15 general election, and violating the Political Fund Act and the Personal Information Protection Act.



Among them, the statute of limitations for cases of violation of the election law will expire tomorrow.



In order for the National Assembly to process the motion for arrest, it must hold a plenary session, but the scheduled date is 14 days or later on the 28th.



The Democratic Party's leadership is urging Congressman Chung to attend the prosecution, but there is no movement to open the plenary session.



If Chung does not appear at the prosecution by tomorrow, the prosecution may continue the investigation after imprisoning an imprisonment for violating the election law.
