According to legal sources, the special counsel team summoned a person surnamed Kim, who was a second phase main weapon, to the office established in the KT Gwanghwamun Building West in Jongno, Seoul, for questioning that day.

The special counsel team summoned and questioned Min, a former executive of the investor consulting firm Black Pearl Invest, who was identified as a stock manipulation player, the day before.

The special counsel is said to have focused on whether Kim Keon-hee was aware of the stock manipulation and the circumstances under which her securities account was managed and used for the stock manipulation.

These individuals are the parties involved in the '7-second trade' conducted in Kim Keon-hee's DAISHIN SECURITIES account. According to a statement submitted to the court by the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office investigation team in 2022, around 11:22 a.m. on Nov. 1, 2010, Kim sent a text message saying, 'Please make it 80,000 shares at 3,300 at 12 o'clock,' and Min replied, 'I'll prepare it.'

About 20 minutes later, at 11:44:32 a.m., Kim sent a text message saying, 'Sell it,' and exactly 80,000 shares were sold for 3,300 won from Kim Keon-hee's account 7 seconds later.

The court that deliberated on the stock manipulation case of former Deutsch Motors Chairman Kwon Oh-soo, among others, recognized the transaction as a collusive trade.
