Choi Min-hee, a senior member of the Democratic Party, publicly apologized for her recent comments suggesting that President Lee Jae-myung opposed the impeachment of former President Yoon Suk Yeol. She emphasized the need to investigate the alleged secret alliance involving anti-Lee factions, divisionism, and Shincheonji.
On Facebook, Choi stated, "I caused trouble for the president due to my memory lapse and confusing remarks. I sincerely apologize for causing distress to party members and supporters."
She added, "I did not expect that a meeting aimed at resolving conflicts among party members would be recorded and leaked. This is also my fault. I never imagined such a thing would happen."
However, Choi insisted that the results of the party's task force (TF) regarding the controversy over the alleged secret alliance should be made public. She stated, "To clarify the facts, the TF's report should be disclosed, and all concerning issues must be publicly confirmed. The Democratic Party has consistently demanded accountability and transparency on all matters, and the same approach should apply to the secret alliance."
Previously, during a closed-door meeting with party members in Namyangju, Gyeonggi Province, Choi's comments about President Lee opposing the impeachment of former President Yoon were made public. The Blue House responded by stating that Choi's claims were unfounded and expressed strong regret. Following this, Choi acknowledged her confusion and offered her apologies.
