Lee Jae-myung, CEO of the Democratic Party of Korea, bowed his head on the 14th, saying, “I have nothing to say even with ten mouths about disappointing the people” in relation to the announcement of withdrawal from Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Nam-guk, who was engulfed in suspicion of possessing virtual assets (cryptocurrency). .

Representative Lee said at the general assembly of members held at the National Assembly this afternoon, “It seems that Rep. Kim, who was a member of the National Assembly of the Democratic Party a while ago, resigned in order to take responsibility for the recent situation.” As the representative, I sincerely apologize for the fact that a member of the National Assembly belonging to our party has caused concern to the public over such a problem.”

He said, “The Republic of Korea is in crisis in many aspects and the people’s lives are in a very difficult situation, and the Democratic Party is also in charge of state affairs in the Republic of Korea, so we cannot be free from that responsibility.” As a public official who should have taken care of the people’s lives day and night, I have nothing to say even if I have ten mouths about the fact that I failed to faithfully fulfill my responsibilities and disappointed the people.”

Representative Lee also said, “I hope that various institutional measures or specific detailed policies for midnight within the Democratic Party will be discussed today (at the general assembly) to prevent this from happening again in the future.” I hope that it will become a gun of righteousness that draws out people.”
