In a text message sent to reporters today (24th), Rep. Kim said, “The person who said he saw the ‘Cheongdam-dong drinking party’ told the police it was a lie. “As a person, I express my deep regret to the people involved, including President Yoon Seok-yeol.”
Representative Kim said, “It is of course a matter as a member of the National Assembly to receive important information related to state affairs and confirm it during the state audit,” he said.
The drinking party in Cheongdam-dong is a suspicion raised by Representative Kim in the National Assembly Legislation and Judiciary Committee examination on the 24th of last month.
Representative Kim claimed that Minister Han Dong-hoon, who attended the inspection at the time, had a late-night drink at a high-end bar in Cheongdam-dong with President Yoon and 30 lawyers from Kim & Chang on July 19 -20 This year.
At the time, Minister Han denied the allegation, and Rep. Kim said he had confirmed the facts after a detailed report came in.
People’s power demanded the resignation of Congressman Kim when it was known that the cellist, who claimed to have seen President Yoon and Minister Han at a drinking party in Cheongdam-dong, lied in a police investigation.
