Rep. Kim Nam-kook has voluntarily resigned from the Democratic Party, but the Democratic Party is mired in a whirlpool of coin risk. It is said that the "theory of responsibility for Lee Jae-myung" is rearing its head again. Lee's leadership was put to the test. Sectarian conflicts, which have been quiet for some time, are also coming to the surface.



Kim Nam-guk who defected and found 'Kim Eo-jun YouTube'

Rep. Kim Nam-guk appeared on YouTube's "Kim Eo-joon's News Factory Humility Is Tough" and refuted what he would apologize for and refute.

Regarding the suspicion of coin trading during the Standing Committee, Rep. Kim said, "I made a mistake because I was out of time or outside the Standing Committee. I would like to apologize to many people, my fellow MPs and members of the party, and I am undoubtedly remorseful and deeply reflective."

But 'How much is the transaction amount among the executive committees?' The question was slurred. They said, "It's 0.99 or a few", "It's so small that I don't know exactly", "It's about a few thousand won".



Moderator: How much was that?

▶ Rep. Kim Nam-guk: I don't know exactly how many are 0.99 or a few. I don't think it matters the amount or the number.

▷ Moderator: I'm trying to draw an analogy that "I made a deal because I was impatient because the amount was that much."

▶ Rep. Kim: It's so small that I can't remember exactly, and it's about a few thousand won.


When the transaction amount is a few thousand won, the host responds with a puzzled response, "How many thousand won at that time? I'm not convinced, do you remember?", "How many thousand won?" He asked a similar question over and over again. The facilitator said, "Find it all. Let's talk again when it's all confirmed."

Lawmaker Kim said, "I doubt that the investigative agency deliberately leaked it to cover up the actual situation of the Yoon Suk-yeol government," and repeatedly raised the suspicion that it was intentionally leaked by the investigative agency. He also refuted the controversies surrounding him, such as airdrops and the creation of a conflict of interest bill, and said he would "take strong legal action."



Why was the "Special Ethics Commission complaint filed by Kim Nam-guk" omitted?

Criticism is coming again from within the MDP for responding to allegations that he traded coins during a standing committee meeting, saying, "It must be a few thousand won." There are not one or two cases that are suspected of trading during the Standing Committee, but the attitude of the answer is insincere.


The critics cannot shake the suspicion that the waves of the coin trading suspicion have reached this point because the leadership, including Chairman Lee Jae-myung, failed to take a firm stance against Rep. Kim Nam-guk.

In particular, they are expressing their dissatisfaction with the omission of a resolution pledging to renew the party at the level of the re-establishment party at the "Renewal Parliamentary Assembly" held yesterday (14 May), which omitted the requirement that Rep. Kim should be reported to the National Assembly Ethics Committee.


It is said that at the parliamentary meeting, there was an opinion that the defected Rep. Kim should be reported to the National Assembly Ethics Special Committee, or that the principle of non-reinstatement of Rep. Kim should be nailed. In addition, it is said that there were many requests for follow-up measures, such as the establishment of a voluntary reporting center for virtual asset transactions within the party.

There is a lot of talk about the fact that the lawmakers' reform proposal was not reflected in the resolution, and the "Kyunghwa Shimbun" and others are reporting that MDP lawmakers said that Representative Lee Jae-myung opposed it.

Immediately after the legislative assembly, Representative Lee remained at the scene of the drafting of the resolution with House Majority Leader Park Kwang-on and was involved in the revision of the wording, but Representative Lee showed a negative attitude toward the complaint to the Special Ethics Committee.

Chief Spokesman Kwon Chil-seung said today (15th), "There were some people who had some disagreements with that part (the ethics complaint) yesterday," and "It seems that there will be additional discussions on that part in the future," but did not disclose the specific circumstances of the drafting of the resolution.



Demand for "re-confidence of Lee Jae-myung"

Regarding the omission of the National Assembly Ethics Commission complaint against Rep. Kim from the resolution, dissatisfaction erupted in the screaming circles.

Rep. Park Yong-jin complained on CBS Radio's "Kim Hyun-jung's News Show," saying, "The mid-level officials have talked about it, the first line has talked about it, and so many people have said it," adding, "I thought 'I will file a complaint with the Special Ethics Commission' would be the first item of yesterday's resolution, but there is none." He also said, "I don't even have the name of Congressman Kim Nam-guk," and "I don't know why he held a congressional meeting."

Rep. Park said, "I was very displeased when I saw the final resolution, so I asked the whole room of the legislators, 'What happened?' and 'The Majority Leader should also explain this,' but 'There are some shortcomings,' and 'Please forgive me,' and this is the end of now."



I just don't get it. What about all the people who made the statements yesterday that said they should be on the ethics committee, or the members of Congress who didn't speak up but expressed sympathy? I'm not sure why they had a congressional meeting.


In the presence of Representative Lee at the Supreme Council meeting, Supreme Council member Song Keop-seok made a bitter remark, saying, "We must admit that our attitude toward issues such as the allegations of money bags at the convention and the coin controversy was no different from that of 'Inner Nambul,' and we must show ourselves the appearance of innovation."

Beyond the theory of responsibility of this representative, there are even opinions that discuss the issue of drunkenness. It is said that at the parliamentary meeting yesterday (14th), a lawmaker openly mentioned the "resignation of the leadership" and insisted that "Representative Lee Jae-myung should be re-trusted."

Lee Sang-min, a fifth-term lawmaker, argued on social media, "In order for the (renewal) resolution to be genuine and effective, measures must be taken against Chairman Lee and his sect, who are the target of the renewal."

Following the "Allegations of Money Envelopes at the National Convention," the coin controversy erupted, putting Lee Jae-myung's leadership to the test again.



Democratic Party Tensions Likely to Grow

However, the pro-Lee Jae-myung circles still respect Rep. Kim's defection from the party as a "decision" and draw a line at the theory of Lee Jae-myung's responsibility. The sectarian conflict between pro-life and screaming is coming to the surface.

Rep. Yang Yi Won-young shot back at the lawmakers who insisted on "re-electing Chairman Lee" on social media, saying, "You are showing your true colors," adding, "What do you say about what you have done so far?"
