On the 18th, President Yoon Seok-yeol's legal team filed a lawsuit against Park Ji-hye (former Democratic Party lawmaker) and Kim Jong-dae (former Justice Party lawmaker) for making false statements about President Yoon.
The defense team said in a statement on the same day, "The defense team will indict Rep. Park and former Rep. Kim on charges of defamation through publications and violations of the Law on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.
The defense team said, "Their false statements and their belittling and insulting of the president have gone too far. It is unacceptable that the president has not disputed the details and made his remorseful remarks clear.
"This is an expression of the utmost sensitivity and tolerance that comes with being president. However, those who abuse this to launch political attacks and insult my character will have no choice but to be held legally responsible," he said.
Rep. Park appeared on a CBS radio program the day before and claimed that on November 4, one month before the martial law was imposed, Mrs. Kim ordered the martial law after receiving the Myung Tae-gyun Gate investigation report.
"Mrs. Kim said, 'Brother, if this comes to light, everyone will die, so declare martial law quickly,'" she said, meaning the First Lady, and that is the instruction given to President Yoon, and martial law was declared."
In response, the program host asked, "Do you call the president 'brother'?" Rep. Park replied, "No, I was just trying to make the program more interesting."
The defense team also recently responded to Rep. Park's recent announcement that he would run for president if Lee Jae-myung, head of the Democratic Party of Korea, could not become president.
"I hope that he will think about his own remarks before making any comments. As the oldest politician in the opposition party, he should not appear like a political rookie who tries to gain popularity with provocative and inflammatory words."
I judged.
