Kim Hye-kyung, spouse of Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung, said in a recent media interview about the file 'swearing at her brother-in-law', "I'm sorry.
According to the JoongAng Ilbo today (28th), Kim mentioned the incident in an interview conducted during the election campaign in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do on the 26th and said, "In fact, there are several complexities. It's the accumulation of years of stuff," he said.
Regarding the conflict between this candidate and his older brother, which was linked to the 'sister-in-law' file, he said, "The problem with my brother was that my husband could have given me a word at that time." "It was the first time my husband became mayor. Because of this, I think my 'skill' (response method) was a bit lacking."
Mr. Kim also said that he had heard the transcript of the '7-hour call' by Kim Gun-hee, the spouse of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol of People's Power.
However, to the question of 'how did you feel when you heard the recording,' he replied, "I don't think it's appropriate to tell you my feelings. I think the people will listen and judge. We are in a position to be judged."
When asked if he thought that the spouse of a presidential candidate is also subject to verification, he said, "If anyone can influence the person who will become president, of course it should."
Regarding the role of first lady, he said, "When my husband became the mayor of Seongnam, (I) heard a lot of things during the election campaign, so I passed it on to my husband, and he cut it very sensitively because he said 'it could affect the administration'." One of the things I would like to give you the most is that you put in a really thorough effort (preventing corruption in relatives and relatives).”
