Cho Dong-yeon, the permanent co-election chairperson of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was engulfed in a privacy controversy, officially expressed his resignation to the party today (3rd).



It has been three days since Lee Jae-myung was appointed as the 'No.



Song Young-gil, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, met with reporters at the National Assembly this morning and said, "Chairman Cho announced his resignation over the phone in the morning and expressed his wish, 'Please, stop attacking my children and my family'." .



Chairman Cho is known to have expressed his intention to "officially resign now," and "if necessary, I will (publicly) announce my intention to resign, even on Monday."



Chairman Cho posted a post on his Facebook page yesterday when the controversy surrounding his private life broke out, saying, "Please stop making it difficult for innocent families."




However, after turning off the cell phone and losing contact, the Democratic Party even reported it to the police, making it difficult to identify Jin.



It appears that Chairman Cho delivered his intentions to the party after finishing his mind over the night.



However, as to whether or not to accept Chairman Cho's resignation, Song postponed the conclusion, saying, "I plan to meet in person around the weekend and have various conversations before making a decision."



He said, "Chairman Cho is not a person running for the National Assembly or appointed as a candidate for minister, but a person who participated in the election campaign to support candidate Lee Jae-myung for 97 days. I hope the people will decide whether it is a matter of attacking the government,” he said.



In a furious voice, he said, "10 years ago, both parties agreed to a separate family, but the despicable act of attacking a child by revealing his or her face and name is beyond the scope of the media. While clearly stating that, the party's legal support team will file charges against Kang Yong-seok, a lawyer at the Garosero Research Institute, and others."



Chairman Cho received attention when he was recruited as a 'two-top' along with Song representative, with a history of being a military and space expert from a female military officer and having the symbolism of a working mom in his 30s.



However, since then, controversies related to privacy, such as the issue of an out-of-married person, arose, and both Chairman Cho and the Democratic Party were in a difficult situation.



The early fall of Chairman Cho is expected to cause chaos and damage to the fleet that has completed verification and renewal work.



It is also expected that the theory of responsibility for CEO Song, who led the recruitment, such as the controversy over insolvency verification, is inevitable.
