Rep. Han Dong-hoon criticizes the appointment of candidate Kim Seung-won... ‘Sale magic’ claim

To Kim Min-seok, “I received 250 million won from a sponsor and appointed that person as a special advisor… sales magic.”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Park Soo-yoon = Independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon said on the 16th in relation to the suspicion of Justice Minister candidate Kim Seung-won soliciting approval for clinical trials of new drugs, "Can the administration that shamelessly appoints my brother's poison lobbyist as the head of the 'Ministry of Justice' last another three years?"

One lawmaker appeared on SBS radio's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show' on this day and claimed, "I assert that I will not be able to finish my term."

When asked if appointing Candidate Kim meant that the situation would get worse, he replied, "I think we need to take to the streets, and I think many people will come out to the streets." When asked whether he would also take to the streets, Rep. Han avoided giving a direct answer, saying, "You will find out later."

He did not immediately answer the question of whether Candidate Kim and broker Mr. Yang had plans to release the photos taken at home, but criticized, "Looking at the attitude of these people, it seems that they are in a position to push ahead even if they release photos taken at night alone at home, or even if they release the video."

Next, regarding the questioning of the source of the materials related to candidate Kim released by a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, he refuted, "Calling on the informant is voyeurism that goes against the public interest."

At the same time, in response to Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Dong-ah raising the possibility that he may have obtained candidate Kim's indictment plan from the prosecution while he was the leader of the People Power Party targeting him, he responded by saying, "The point of (writing the indictment plan) was long after it came from the Minister of Justice. I guess Representative Kim Min-seok is currently receiving data from the Ministry of Justice."

Even when a member of the Democratic Party criticized a member for using hate speech, he said, "When you fight single-handedly with the real enemies of democracy, you cannot fight or win with words. The quality of a true politician is to jump into the mud at times like this and save the people who are in danger of falling into the mud."

Regarding Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party, who said that he was "a scapegoat for the first work of prosecutors belonging to the 'Woo Prosecutor's Association' such as Seok-yeol Yoon, Dong-hoon Han, and In-gyu Lee," regarding his conviction for violating the political fund law, he asked, "Then why didn't you receive 900 million won?"

At the same time, he criticized, "It is 920 million won to be exact. Of that, 250 million won was received from a sponsor named Kang Shin-seong, and he received 4.5 million won every month. However, as soon as he became the party leader, he was recently appointed as a special advisor to the party representative in the field of social organizations. It is a salesmanship."
