Minister Han said in a comprehensive audit of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly on the 26th that People Power Party lawmaker Cho Soo-jin said, “Rep. Ahn Min-seok appeared on a radio interview today and brought up a conspiracy theory out of nowhere. When asked, “Is there any basis or evidence for the intention to cover up something in the arrest of drug cases that are spreading throughout our society?”, he replied, “Drugs have nothing to do with politics, and drugs don’t know politics.” “It’s the same,” he answered.

Democratic Party lawmaker So Byeong-cheol protested once morest Minister Han’s remarks, saying, “No matter how some of the parts differ from the facts, the answer is a bit excessive.” In response, Judiciary Committee Chairman Kim Do-eup said, “Shouldn’t a minister speak under his own responsibility as a political official?” and “We need to think regarding whether he should be beaten as he was hit or if he should even say ‘it hurts’.”

In an interview with YTN radio on this day, Rep. Ahn said regarding the recent indictment of actor Lee Seon-gyun and singer Kwon Ji-yong on drug charges, saying, “They say politics is the art of timing, but if you’re not a fool, someone might have planned it intentionally,” and added, “It’s not possible to create such a misunderstanding.” “It’s enough timing,” he said. They brought up a conspiracy theory that the celebrity drug scandal broke out according to the plan of the Yoon Seok-yeol government.

Representative Ahn raised suspicions in an interview, saying, “The Yoon Seok-yeol administration has now faced its biggest crisis since taking office as it lost the by-election for Gangseo-gu mayor.” He said, “Aren’t celebrities like Lee Sun-kyun and G-Dragon (Kwon Ji-yong) representative celebrities in Korea in a situation of a regime crisis?” and “Is this a coincidence or a coincidence? In that way, the crisis of this regime and the celebrity drug issue are at this point. “I have a feeling that it may not have been a coincidence that it exploded in ,” he said. However, Rep. Ahn said, “There is no basis (for my claim).”

Prior to Rep. Ahn’s remarks, some in the opposition party raised a conspiracy theory that a celebrity drug case was planned. Lee Kyung, a full-time deputy spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said on Facebook on the 21st, “Are you trying to cover it up with an article regarding celebrity drugs?” and “It’s strange.” Lee, a full-time deputy spokesperson, also said, without providing any additional evidence, “Secretary Seung-hee Kim’s daughter was a perpetrator of school violence and inflicted 9 weeks of injuries. He said, “We are holding President Yoon Seok-yeol responsible for sending Kim Tae-woo to the Gangseo-gu mayor election through a pardon and reinstatement,” adding, “These articles are being covered by ‘alleged drug use by actor Lee Sun-gyun.’”
