On the 27th, Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, commented on currently facing five trials, saying, "This shows the reality of the evidence-less, manipulated prosecution by the Yoon Seok-yeol regime," and added, "If there had been evidence, would I have been fine?"
At a debate on the topic of 'political sector' held at the MBC studio in Mapo-gu, Seoul, at 8 p.m. that day, Kim Moon-soo, the candidate from the People Power Party, directed a question at Lee.
Kim asked Lee, "Aren't you currently facing five trials? While you are undergoing so many trials, if you become president, you would create laws to pause the trials, such as a trial suspension law?" He added, "You are proposing a bill to increase the number of Supreme Court Justices, and people are concerned about these things."
In response, Lee said, "The countless prosecutions are evidence-less, manipulated prosecutions by the regime of which you are a part, the Yoon Seok-yeol regime. Isn't there no evidence?" He added, "If there had been evidence so far, would I have been okay like this?"
He continued, "Issues regarding general judicial procedures should be determined according to the law and principles. Such laws are still under discussion in the National Assembly, so do not jump to conclusions."
