Han Dong-hoon, former leader of the People Power Party (ruling party), reportedly received a phone call on the day the state of emergency was declared saying, "If you go to the National Assembly, your life will be in danger."
According to Channel A on the 18th, on the night of the 3rd, immediately after the declaration of martial law, on his way to the National Assembly, a military official told him, "You must not go to the National Assembly.
The military official who called Han at the time said, "What I heard was that if you go, you will be arrested and your life may be in danger. Hang up the phone and go somewhere for a day."
"Hide. Don't get caught. Evacuate your family," he said. However, Han reportedly decided that this was unrealistic and headed to the National Assembly.
Prior to this, broadcaster Kim Oh-jun had said that during the state of emergency on the 3rd, an assassination team was in action, planning to "shoot and kill Han Dong-hoon (then the representative of the People's Power Party) who was being arrested and transferred."
Kim Byung-ju, a former member of the reserve army general and lawmaker for the Democratic Party of Korea, also said of the allegations, "A lot of information was coming from the U.S. side.
"We are placing weight on the possibility that it is true," he said. However, the US, which is believed to be the source of the information, drew a line under the guise of "not knowing about the information in question." Matthew Miller, US State Department
In response to a question about whether the United States had provided Kim with information regarding the operation of the assassination squad, the spokesman replied, "I am not aware of any such information coming from the U.S. government."
The Democratic Party of Korea also reportedly concluded provisionally that Kim's claims lack credibility.
"It can be concluded that a person with limited knowledge took advantage of the nature of the institution, which has restrictions on the disclosure of information, and fabricated a significant amount of fabrication based on partially confirmed facts," the statement said.
