Han Byeong-do, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, urged Kim Tae-kyu, a member of the National Assembly from the People Power Party, to resign from his position on the Operating Committee ahead of the National Assembly's audit on the 29th. He also called for internal disciplinary action against Kim.
During a policy coordination meeting held in the National Assembly, Han stated, "Kim, a member of the Operating Committee, has made outrageous comments claiming that neither Chun Doo-hwan nor Yoon Suk Yeol are guilty of insurrection, yet he intends to sit in the audit session as if nothing has happened." He announced that a resolution calling for Kim's expulsion had been passed, indicating that strict measures would follow.
Han emphasized the need for Kim to resign, saying, "We cannot allow someone who distorts history and advocates for insurrection to roam freely in the Operating Committee, which should set the standard and serve as a model for the National Assembly. Kim must bow his head and apologize to the public immediately."
Han also continued his offensive against Joo Jin-woo, a member of the People Power Party, who raised the issue of First Lady Kim Hye-kyung's 'royal golf' controversy.
He noted, "The day before, the Democratic Party reported Joo to the police for defaming Mrs. Kim with malicious fake news. Yet, instead of reflecting on his actions, he has threatened to file a counter-report against the President and First Lady. This is the height of hypocrisy," he pointed out.
Han concluded by stating, "The police must conduct a swift and thorough investigation into this incident to demonstrate the severity of the law. The Democratic Party will hold Joo accountable for his malicious behavior, which he continues to repeat while hiding behind his status as a member of the National Assembly."
