Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon strongly criticized Kim Ui-gyeom, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, for 'the suspicion of high-class drinking in Cheongdam-dong,' saying, "Rep. Kim acts as if he has a license that can be harmed with lies."



Minister Han Dong-hoon said this to a reporter's question today (25th), when he visited the National Assembly to attend President Yoon Seok-yeol's address on the budget correction, and said, "If you open your mouth every time, he will let you go, even if you lie, and you don't take responsibility for it, so you think it's okay. They seem to know this, but I think it should be different this time."



Earlier yesterday, during a parliamentary audit by the Legislative and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly, Rep. Kim Eui-gyeom said, "On July 19, there was a report in the public interest that a minister and President Yun had a drinking party with 30 lawyers Kim & Chang and former President Lee Se-chang of the Freedom Federation at a high-end bar in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. ' he claimed.



Minister Han also refuted the Democratic Party's claims of the special prosecutor and criticism of 'political oppression'.



Minister Han said, "If the investigation is not good, a special prosecutor will be introduced." I questioned.



Then, referring to the 'completely deprived of the prosecution's investigation authority (completely deprived of the prosecution's investigation authority, the prosecution investigation-separation of the right to indictment)' proposed by the Democratic Party, he said, "One of the rationales for the complete examination and prosecution is that investigation and prosecution should be separated."
