Lee Jun-seok "Hello, I am the collection target"... Nosangwon notebook contains 'Yoon government essence'

Lee Jun-seok, a member of the Reform New Party, expressed that he was "disgusted and bewildered" by reports that he was classified as a 'target for arrest' in the notebook of former National Military Intelligence Command Commander Noh Sang-won, who is accused of premeditating the December 3 emergency martial law.

On the 13th, Lee mentioned the related report on his Facebook, saying, "Hello. I am the collection target Lee Jun-seok."

He criticized, "The essence of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration is that I had to be placed on such a blacklist simply because I always pointed out what needed to be pointed out and spoke the truth to President Yoon Seok-yeol."

MBC reported the day before that former Commander Noh classified arrest targets in his notebook by alphabetical grades from A to D. The A grade included Lee Jun-seok, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, Cho Kuk, former member of the Innovation Party, former President Moon Jae-in, writer Yoo Si-min, and former Presidential Secretary Im Jong-seok. It was also reported that the notebook contained an 'A-grade collection target handling plan' along with the arrest targets.

Additionally, the notebook reportedly mentioned lists of politicians to be arrested during the martial law period, overlapping with many current and former lawmakers, Judge Yoo Chang-hoon who dismissed the arrest warrant for Lee Jae-myung in September 2023, former Marine Investigation Unit Chief Park Jung-hoon who raised suspicions of external pressure in a fallen marine death case investigation, broadcaster Kim Je-dong, and organizations such as the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union, and the Lawyers for a Democratic Society.
