On the 21st, attorney Noh Young-hee, the lawyer representing Kang Hye-kyung, revealed a list of 27 politicians who had previously worked with Myung Tae-gyun for political purposes such as opinion polls during the National Assembly Judiciary Committee meeting, stating that Hong Nam-pyo, the mayor of Changwon, was included.
In response, Hong Nam-pyo, the mayor of Changwon Special City, expressed regret and asked Kang's lawyer to refrain from publicizing unverified facts.
Mayor Hong stated that during the 8th nationwide simultaneous local elections held in 2022, candidate Hong Nam-pyo did not know Myung Tae-gyun, and he reiterated that he had never commissioned any opinion poll agency for surveys during that period.
