Lee Jun-seok, the representative of People's Power, said, "Of course, there are no transcripts because there are no recording files," about the conversation with former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and the leak of transcripts.
CEO Lee said on SNS today (15th), "The conversation I had with Candidate Yoon on that date received intensive coverage on specific content from more than 60 journalists." It was passed on to journalists, and it seems that the verbally transmitted parts have been organized and documented.”
He said, "It seems to be a form that summarizes the transmitted content," he said about some transcripts circulating in the market.
Previously, Rep. Lee Cheol-gyu, head of the camp organization for former President Yoon, strongly criticized Lee on social media, saying, "I cannot help but be astonished to hear the news that a party leader recorded a phone call with a powerful party candidate and the transcript was leaked."
As the controversy spread, CEO Lee went out to explain, saying that the recorded file did not exist.
CEO Lee also mentioned, "A reporter from a media company who was pointed out by an unidentified information magazine because he heard comments in support of a specific candidate just called and told me that it was groundless and that I did not understand."
Earlier, when an information magazine circulated to the effect that 'CEO Lee told a general daily newspaper reporter that he could drop Candidate Yoon from the horse in two debates', it is interpreted that he completely denied this as well.
