Lawyer Claims Lee Jae-myung's Key Decisions Influenced by 'Supreme Leader' Figure

Lawyer Kang Dae-gyu has raised the possibility that a specific individual was involved in the decision-making process of key issues for Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung. Kang referred to this individual as a 'supreme leader,' refraining from disclosing their real name.

Appearing on the Maeil Shinmun's YouTube channel 'Ilta News,' Kang Dae-gyu asserted in an interview that a shadowy figure wields immense influence over Lee Jae-myung's major decisions. Referring to this person, Kang stated, "From my perspective... well, I shouldn't put it this way, but they are what you might call a supreme leader." He continued, "I can't... can't use the name," indicating a reluctance to reveal the individual's identity.

Kang repeatedly emphasized, "Important decisions, in reality, aren't they being made by Kim HJ?" strongly suggesting that Lee Jae-myung's crucial decisions are being swayed by a figure named 'Kim HJ.' He implied that 'Kim HJ' is to Lee Jae-myung as a 'supreme leader' is, thus making it difficult to publicly mention their real name.

Kang Dae-gyu's use of the term 'supreme leader' is particularly controversial, as it's primarily used in North Korea to refer to Kim Il-sung and the Kim family. While Kang has not provided a specific explanation for using this phrase, various interpretations are being offered within political circles regarding the implications of his statement. Some analysts suggest that Kang deliberately used a term reminiscent of the North Korean regime to criticize Lee Jae-myung.

Following Kang's remarks, a variety of reactions have emerged within the political sphere. The ruling party is maintaining a cautious stance and closely monitoring the situation, while the opposition party is reportedly moving quickly to determine the veracity of Kang's claims. In particular, the Democratic Party is closely watching the potential impact of this issue on Lee Jae-myung's political standing and is exploring countermeasures.

Meanwhile, the Presidential Office stated regarding the President's trial suspension bill recently discussed in political circles, "It has not been discussed to date, and it is difficult to agree on the necessity of the bill." This is the Presidential Office's official position on the President's trial suspension bill and is expected to have a significant impact on the bill's future progress.

Additionally, former President Yoon Seok-youl appeared in court on charges of insurrection, strongly denying the allegations and asserting his innocence. Yoon actively explained his position during the trial and reportedly refuted the prosecution's claims point by point. This trial is directly related to Yoon's political life, and the outcome is expected to have significant repercussions in the political arena.

Democratic Party leader Chung Cheong-rae held a press conference to announce his position on a specific issue, stating, "We are taking this matter very seriously and will investigate it thoroughly at the party level." He added, "We will do everything we can to alleviate public concerns," suggesting that the party will actively address the issue. However, Chung avoided specific mention of Kang Dae-gyu's remarks, maintaining a cautious attitude.

Regarding Kang Dae-gyu's remarks, the Democratic Party has not yet issued an official statement. A party official stated, "We are currently assessing the situation and will issue an official statement later." The Democratic Party appears to be comprehensively reviewing the impact of this issue on the party. In particular, it is reportedly focusing on verifying the truth of the allegations raised by Kang.

Kang Dae-gyu is an active figure in the legal community, and his comments are expected to draw attention from the political sphere. Amid the allegations surrounding Lee Jae-myung, Kang's claims have presented a new perspective.

Maeil Shinmun is working to confirm additional information related to Kang Dae-gyu's remarks and will report on related content in the future. What has been confirmed to date is that Kang appeared on 'Ilta News' and raised suspicions that a specific individual was involved in key decisions related to Lee Jae-myung. This issue is receiving attention from politicians and the public, and many are focusing on the identity of the 'supreme leader' mentioned by Kang Dae-gyu and the impact they had on Lee Jae-myung's decisions.
