Former Seoul Deputy Mayor Kang Cheol-won to Appear at Prosecutors' Office This Afternoon for 'Myeong Tae-gyun Investigation'

Park Changu Political Advisor to Appear as "Witness and Complainant"

Regarding the investigation of political broker Myung Tae-gyun, Kang Cheol-won, former Deputy Mayor for Political Affairs of Seoul and a close aide to Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, and Park Chan-gu, a political special advisor, will appear at the prosecution.

Lee Jong-hyun, Seoul City’s Special Advisor for Public Communication, announced on the 10th, "Former Deputy Mayor Kang and Special Advisor Park will appear at 1:30 PM today at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office’s Myung Tae-gyun dedicated investigation team as witnesses and complainants."

While Myung and his legal team claim to have met with Mayor Oh multiple times, the mayor’s side counters that former Deputy Mayor Kang, who oversaw the campaign operations at the time, and Myung had a major falling out and ended their relationship.

Advisor Lee explained regarding the prosecution appearance of former Deputy Mayor Kang and Special Advisor Park, "We plan to clearly reveal the truth about Myung Tae-gyun’s false claims and demonstrate that the campaign severed ties after confirming Myung’s fraudulent polling methods."

He added, "Any aides who worked in the Oh Se-hoon campaign will sincerely cooperate with the prosecution investigation if necessary to actively clarify the truth behind the allegations related to Myung Tae-gyun."
