[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Seoyul] Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, responded to a question about the possibility of additional prosecution by the prosecution, saying, "Is there something else I did wrong?"

On the 12th, after concluding a closed meeting with party officials at the National Assembly in the afternoon, Lee Jae-myung responded to reporters' questions about the possibility of additional prosecution with this counter-question.

This is analyzed as an attempt by Lee to emphasize his innocence and highlight the investigation as 'political oppression,' amid the need to resolve various suspicions including preferential treatment in the Daejang-dong and Baekhyeon-dong development projects and sponsorship funds for Seongnam FC, beyond the public official election law violation charges already prosecuted by the prosecution.

However, Lee did not answer questions related to 'prosecution response measures' or 'issues regarding the appointment of lawyers.'
