<Reporter> After the
controversy over the donation, the faces of the participants in the demand meeting were rather heavy.
The Justice and Memory Regiment stated that there was a mistake in the input process of the National Tax Service disclosure, but there was no embezzlement or illegal use.
[Lee Young-young / Chairman of Jeongui Memory Association: Jeong-yeon Jung clearly once again has no illegal use or embezzlement in the use of donations. We will verify the use of donations by a number of accredited accountants.]
Around the meeting hall, a meeting of conservative organizations called for the resignation of former National Assembly Chairman Yoon Mi-hyang and the resignation of donations and the investigation of the use of donations.
[Youn Mihyang, the elected member of the National Assembly, immediately resign. (Resign! Resign!)]
Some of the participants even entered the demand demonstration site, but there were no major conflicts due to police arrest.
Grandmother Lee Yong-soo, who first raised suspicions regarding donations, issued a statement saying that she should avoid controversy and exhaustion of activities related to victims of comfort women.
In the case of opaque donation usage and accounting errors, I ordered, "We need a business method, a responsible execution process, and transparent disclosure in line with the current era."
