Kwon Seong-dong, a former representative of the floor, posted an article on social media, saying, "The arrest of former chief Seo is a recognition of the charge of concealing the incident at the government level and 'driving to North Korea'." It will not. We urge an investigation into former President Moon Jae-in, who is ultimately responsible for the fabrication case in North Korea.”
Rep. Kim Ki-hyun, the party leader, also argued, "The court has determined that the person who has crossed the line is former President Moon." .
The Democratic Party strongly protested, calling it a 'political retaliation investigation'.
In a written briefing, Democratic Party spokesman Lim Oh-gyeong said, “There is no information or circumstances that have changed from the judgment at the time (the Blue House of the Moon Jae-in administration), but when the government changed, the judgment was reversed and the truth was concealed.” will eventually be judged in court."
Spokesman Lim also refuted the fact that the court suggested 'destruction of evidence' as a reason for issuing an arrest warrant, saying, "It is absurd to destroy evidence when all the data are in the hands of the Yoon Seok-yeol government."
Rep. Yun Geon-young, who served as the head of the Blue House State Affairs Office in the Moon Jae-in administration, said in an SNS post, "

Rep. Yoon said, “After seeing the arrest of former Chief Seo, which expert will step up for the government from now on?” ", he criticized.
Rep. Kim Byeong-ju also posted a post on social media, saying, "The tyranny of the Yoon Seok-yeol government, which makes security issues the subject of political strife and tramples on the pride of public officials who have devoted themselves to national security for a long time, is going too far." It is unfair. It seems to be embarrassing and stigmatizing sinners."
At the same time, he emphasized, "I went to the United States for training and even returned to cooperate with the investigation, so there is no fear of escape, and I am not already in the current position, and all records at the time remain in the current government department, so the possibility of destroying evidence is absurd."
