On the morning of the 28th, Special Prosecutor Kim Keon-hee is conducting a search and seizure at Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the Reform Party's residence.
The search and seizure that day is aimed at investigating the 'Myung-tae-Kyun nomination intervention suspicion.' According to the special prosecutor, Lee is a suspect in relation to the issue.
Allegations have emerged that former President Yoon Suk-yeol and his wife received polling services for free from 'political broker' Myung-tae-Kyun during the 2022 presidential election in exchange for ensuring that former lawmaker Kim Young-sun was nominated in the by-election held that same year.
During the period in 2022 when Mr. Myung was suspected of intervening in the nominations, Lee served as the leader of the People Power Party.
Regarding the search and seizure that day, a spokesperson for the Reform Party said, "Feel free to investigate as much as you want, but there won't be anything that will come out," while also expressing "deep regret" that the search and seizure was initiated the day after the party convention.
