The text discusses the internal strife within the Democratic Party of Korea, focusing on the leadership of Lee Jae-myung. There is controversy over whether Article 80 applies to him, and he was indicted without detention on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act when he was governor of Gyeonggi Province in 2018. Despite this, he emphasized unity within the party and returned to his position as a party member.
However, two years later, in August 2021, he criticized the prosecution's power, arguing that it could be seen as corruption and a way to suppress the opposition party. He resigned from his position as a member of the party committee after being indicted without detention again, but he maintained his position as party leader.
The text also highlights a shift in public opinion, with a KBS survey showing that 53.9% of respondents now believe the investigation into Lee Jae-myung is legitimate, an increase from 47.7% at the start of the investigation. This shift in public opinion is seen as important for the Democratic Party to consider, as it may influence the party's strategic decisions.
Lee Jae-myung is also criticized for not making a clear stance on the investigation, with critics arguing that he should provide a persuasive explanation and action. However, he maintains that the investigation is ongoing and that he will respond accordingly.
The text ends with a reference to a KBS opinion poll, suggesting that public opinion may be shifting in favor of the investigation being legitimate. The text also notes that Lee Jae-myung has been accused of breach of trust or third-party charges, and he expressed his opinion that the proportion of legitimate criminal investigations regarding these charges was high in a KBS presidential election survey.
