Heo Eun-ah: "Tae Young-ho Should Step Down as Supreme Council Member and Resign from Lawmaker Position"

Heo Eun-ah, a member of the People Power Party, raised her voice regarding Tae Young-ho, a Supreme Council member of the People Power Party who has been embroiled in the 'recording scandal,' saying, "He should step down from his position as a Supreme Council member and even consider resigning from his parliamentary seat."

On the 2nd, Heo stated through her social media (SNS), "It should not be overlooked as a mere incident that the ruling party’s Supreme Council member, whose election certificate ink has not even dried, was ordered by the Presidential Office to sing praises rather than focus on people’s livelihood or national interest, and that even the forbidden topic of ‘candidate nomination’ was mentioned," emphasizing this point.

She added, "He turned the ruling party leadership into a group that only thinks about their own nominations rather than the people and the country, and the responsibility for causing the controversy over the Presidential Office’s interference in candidate nominations is by no means light. If he cannot make a decision himself, the party should convene an emergency ethics committee to take strong measures such as permanent expulsion."

Kim Woong, also a member of the People Power Party, wrote on SNS, "If Representative Tae fabricated lies that never happened, he should take responsibility for slandering the Presidential Office and resign from his parliamentary seat," and added, "Please remember how former leader Na Kyung-won was demanded to resign and was verbally attacked with a petition from first-term lawmakers just because she ‘unilaterally announced policies not coordinated at all with the President.’"
