On the 22nd, Rep. Lee Cheol-gyu of the People Power Party, a key member of the pro-Yoon (pro-Yoon Seok-yeol) faction, protested on the 22nd regarding the controversy over President Yoon Seok-yeol’s wife Kim Kun-hee’s receipt of the luxury ‘Dior bag’, calling it a “hidden camera operation.”
After the welcoming ceremony of the Talent Recruitment Committee that day, Rep. Lee responded to reporters who asked regarding Ms. Kim’s risk by saying, “The reality of this incident is nothing more or less than a failed attempt to carry out a secret camera and carry out an operation for an impure purpose.”
Regarding Ms. Kim’s claim that an apology was needed, he said, “Something undesirable happened and you should apologize to the victim,” and “Apologies are made when there is an illegality or mistake.”
He continued, “If a car accident occurs on the road, the person who caused the accident must be held responsible. “If we were to ask (the victim) why he was out on the street and got into a car accident instead of at home, would he agree?”
He said, “If a person with an impure purpose enters the house for illegal purposes with a hidden camera, it becomes a home invasion.”
Rep. Lee said, “The reason people are concerned is because they don’t know what the truth is,” and added, “Once you know the truth, you should look at the matter as it is, and not necessarily see it as right or bad depending on the political camp.”
In addition, he asked, “Was there any confusion or confusion in the current state administration?” and “None of their demands were met.”

Previously, Han Dong-hoon, Chairman of the People Power Party’s Emergency Response Committee, said regarding the controversy over Mrs. Kim’s acceptance of the Dior bag, “I think there were definitely some regrets in the post-war process and things that the public might be worried regarding.” He then mentioned, “It is a matter to be considered from the perspective of the people.” Following Chairman Han, the ‘Ms. Kim apology theory’ continued among lawmakers in the metropolitan area. The day before, Presidential Chief of Staff Lee Kwan-seop met with Chairman Han and conveyed President Yoon’s intention to ‘resign.’ Chairman Han is said to have expressed his intention to refuse. Even on his way to work that day, Chairman Han said, “I will take care of the elected people first,” and “I understand that my term will last until following the general election,” with the intention of rejecting calls for his resignation.
When asked if there was public opinion centering around pro-Yoon-gye for the chairman’s resignation, Rep. Lee replied, “Each member will have his or her own position. You just have to respect that and fulfill your role in your position.”
