[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] A portion of the '7-hour phone call transcript' of Kim Gun-hee, spouse of Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, has been additionally released. This follows a court ruling allowing the broadcast of most content except for statements related solely to private matters or private conversations between others.

According to the transcript released on the 23rd by YouTube channels 'Open Sympathy TV' and 'Voice of Seoul', Kim responded "Yes, we will move it" when Seoul's Voice reporter Lee Myung-soo said, "Among the mystics I know, one said the president will become the chief. But as soon as that person enters the Blue House, they said the residence should be moved to the Yeongbingwan."

When the reporter asked again, "Will you move it?" she replied, "Yes."

The channel analyzed this by saying, "It seems to imply that the Yeongbingwan has bad energy, and that past presidents have experienced hardships after leaving office. Moving the Yeongbingwan is necessary to remove that energy."

They also expressed concern, stating, "Kim's remarks show that even national policies or Blue House arrangements could be decided by the power of shamanism or by believing in it."

In another call, Kim mentioned Sambu Construction, which has been suspected of collusion. Regarding former chairman Cho Nam-wook of Sambu Construction, she said, "I have been very close with Chairman Sambu and our family for a long time; we are like family."

Kim also declined an interview request from the reporter, saying, "I told you I can't do an interview. I can't do it now anyway. Instead, Myung-soo, you should meet my brother and ask him."

The channel explained, "(Kim) has never called candidate Yoon 'oppa' (older brother), so the 'oppa' here is not candidate Yoon. She is referring to her own older brother in the campaign. Her brother is not even a spokesperson."

These channels also claimed that Kim said, "We arrested Park Geun-hye (former president), and Lee Myung-bak too," and "Ordinary people are fools," among other statements.
