[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 25th, "The Democratic Party will firmly fight against the People Power Party and candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's attempts to distort the essence of the 'report solicitation' by spreading the Daejang-dong scandal."

Leader Song mentioned this during his greeting at the joint speech meeting for the Gwangju and Jeonnam primaries held at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju that afternoon, then urged, "The prosecution must promptly uphold its honor and thoroughly reveal the truth behind the 'report solicitation' allegations." He emphasized, "After MBC reported the suspicion of collusion between the media and prosecution in March last year, a KakaoTalk chatroom involving Han Dong-hoon, a close aide to candidate Yoon, Kwon Soon-jung, spokesperson for the Supreme Prosecutors' Office, and the problematic figure Son Jun-sung, the head of the Investigation Information Policy Office, was set ablaze. Revealing what Han Dong-hoon discussed with the parties involved in the report solicitation case has emerged as a new key to this case. The season 2 of the national scandal report solicitation case has begun."

Meanwhile, Song, who returned from a visit to the United States the day before, held a press conference prior to the joint speech meeting and conveyed, "I emphasized to U.S. officials that there must be corresponding measures for North Korea's four-year hiatus from additional nuclear tests and long-range missile launches for trust to develop between North Korea and the U.S."
