News summary on the way home from work, Subsletter Evening.



It seems that there is a recorded file of the conversation between Kim Gun-hee, wife of presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, and a YouTube channel reporter.

The people's power is sensitive to the issue of disclosing this file.

The People's Power applied for an injunction against MBC to ban broadcasting, and as it was reported that MBC would take over the recording and report it, they took legal action to prevent the report from going out.

What do you think of the recording of the report? 


In the public notice of 'Seven Hour Call'...

State power, request for injunction to ban broadcasting

Let's take a look at the origins of the people's power to take legal action.

There was a preview article about the release of the recorded file, and yesterday (12th) <Oh My News> published an article titled "[Exclusive] 'Seven-Hour Kim Gun-hee's Call' Recording File Will Be Released".

The article states, "The details of a reporter's phone conversation with Kim Gun-hee (CEO of Kobana Contents), the wife of the presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol for the past six months, will be revealed soon."

According to the article, a reporter from a certain media had a phone call with Kim Gun-hee 20 times over the past six months and recorded the conversation.

It is said that the length of the recording was about 7 hours.

As it became known that MBC was preparing to take over the files, the People's Power applied for an injunction to ban broadcasting.


What's in 'Seven Hour Call Recording'?  

Seeing that the people's power even mobilizes legal means to prevent the disclosure of the contents of the call, it can be interpreted that the recorded file contains sensitive content or that it is unfavorable to the election even if it does not.

OhmyNews reported on the topic of conversation in anticipation of a significant impact when the recorded file was released. I will introduce some of the articles.


It seems that the '7-hour recording of Kim Geon-hee's phone call' contains politically sensitive content, such as criticism of the Moon Jae-in government, investigation into the prosecution by former Justice Minister Cho Kuk, and absence of witnesses from Chung Dae-taek's state audit.

At the same time, there are also contents about Yang Jae-taek, former deputy prosecutor of the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors' Office, who was rumored to be living together with him, 'Monk Moojeong' introduced by former Sambu Construction Chairman Cho Nam-wook, and Ahn Hae-wook, former president of the Taekwondo Federation of Korea Elementary School, who testified under the real name of 'Julie's suspicion'. is known to do

People's power "low-quality political work"

The power of the people is building a high defense wall to block the recording files.

Let's take a look at what Lee Yang-soo, senior spokesperson for the previous captain, informed reporters today (the 13th). 


■ Notice regarding


application for injunction against broadcasting Today, we applied for an injunction against broadcasting against MBC. (Creditor Kim Geon-hee, Debtor Munhwa Broadcasting Co., Ltd.)


Looking at the process, conversation topics, number of calls, duration, and content that Mr. Lee approached, it is clear that it is a 'private conversation' and cannot be regarded as a 'reporter interview' at all. In addition, it is clear that it is an illegal recording by secretly recording without any prior notice from the first access to the last call. 



(omitted) If MBC, a public broadcaster, obtains an illegally recorded file of 'private conversations' and then edits or distorts the broadcast to fit the time that will affect the election, it is itself 'election intervention'. Also, in the verification of presidential candidates of the ruling and opposition parties, reports should be reported in a balanced way in terms of volume and content. Obtaining and reporting illegal recording files that infringe on the right to privacy under the Constitution promotes illegality and violates reporting ethics. If you paid for the process of obtaining illegal recordings, you are also directly participating in these illegalities.



(omitted) Considering this, we are applying for an injunction to ban broadcasting. Based on the fact that MBC is a public broadcaster, please be cautious about whether or not to report it. 


It's not just about filing an injunction.

I decided to ask the National Election Commission to interpret the votes to see if the report was in violation of the Election Act.

We also decided to take legal action against reporters who recorded calls.

Middle-aged people have also stepped in.

Kwon Young-se, head of the Election Response Headquarters, said, "It seems to be a very mean act of political manipulation," and Kim Jae-won appeared on CBS radio and said, "It was a private conversation."

As the supreme commissioner Kim found out, "It seems that a reporter from a YouTube media approached his middle-aged wife Kim Kun-hee in one way or another and offered to help Mr. He explained, "It must have been maliciously edited by collecting it, and it was actually sold to a third party."

A lot of harsh language is used.


Call recording reporter's media "People's Power Threat"

The reporter who recorded the call belongs to a YouTube-based medium, and today (13th) I went to the site of that medium and found that it was titled <The ‘People’s Power’ Threat to the Release of a Bomb Recording Remarks Recorded by Kim Gun-hee from ‘Voice of Seoul’. There is an article in the form of a statement.

Let me introduce some. 


“The threat of “people’s power” against the release of bombs of Kim Gun-hee’s recorded remarks


- The content of the remarks must be made public on public 

broadcasters


. In addition to taking accusations against the reporter of '

Soori


of Seoul', who recorded the conversation with Kim Geon-hee, Him made threatening remarks that he would take strong legal action if the recording was broadcast. 


It is a fundamental threat to freedom of the press and should be severely condemned as a public party


4. Citizens will actively support the reporters of 'Voice of Seoul' and will strongly protect the broadcast programs scheduled to broadcast this content 


. Broadcasting must be done, and if any pressure or threat causes the broadcast to be stopped or key content removed, follow-up measures will be immediately taken by the citizens. 


This media accepts the offensive of the people's power as a threat and a challenge to the right to know, and is in the position to make sure that the recorded file is reported through the broadcast.


Court to interrogate application for injunction against broadcasting tomorrow

The court did not delay the time of the interrogation application filed by the People's Power, and the interrogation date was set immediately.

The interrogation will open tomorrow (14th) at 11 am.

It is held at the Seoul Western District Court, and it seems that the court will make a decision soon, due to the nature of the injunction case.

Given that the interrogation was caught right away, the general view is that the decision won't take long.   



How far is the report on the presidential candidate's wife's private life? 

Kim Kun-hee is the wife of a powerful candidate, and if her husband, Yoon Seok-yeol, is elected, he will act like a public official, so verification through the media is necessary.

You can already see it as a public figure.

It seems that the issue will be whether it is possible to report the contents of a public figure's calls, and whether there is a need to impose restrictions even if it is possible to do so.

It seems that the people's power side has already prepared legally.

Chief Spokesperson Lee Yang-soo mentioned several logics yesterday (12th) while taking a stand on OhmyNews' preview article.

Let's see some.


■ Position related to OhmyNews reporting


(first part omitted) If you secretly record the conversation between the parties and disclose it against the will of the other party, it is an illegal act by infringing on the right to voice and privacy under the Constitution.


The People's Power Legal Support Group plans to file a complaint against Mr. A today for violating the Public Official Election Act and the Communication Secret Protection Act.


The contents reported after intentionally approaching and secretly recording private conversations are not considered the realm of normal media reporting and are judged to be in violation of reporting ethics.

If we broadcast the recorded file, we will take strong legal action.


So, it is said that reporting through broadcasting is a violation of the right to voice and freedom of privacy under the Constitution. You are arguing that it is a violation of the protection law.

It is also added that it is against the ethics of reporting and is not in the realm of media coverage.


Park Young-sun "Which candidate's wife will talk on the phone for 7 hours?"

The Democrats are not actively attacking.

Park Young-sun, chairman of the Digital Grand Conversion Committee, said yesterday (12th) on CBS Radio, "Which presidential candidate's wife in the world would talk to a reporter for 7 hours? When asked if he thinks it will affect the election, he said, "I don't know because I haven't heard of it, but I think it might be."

Democrats are watching the situation.

MBC's stance is "We will wait for the court's reasonable decision."
