Kim Hyun-jeong of the Democratic Party of Korea posted on Facebook on the 6th with the title "Suspicious MBK, shaking candidate Kim Seung-won? Stop immediately," stating, "I warn MBK. If it is true that you are shaking candidate Kim Seung-won, stop immediately." This drew attention. She also said, "Recently, there have been reports that MBK is making every effort to block the appointment of candidate Kim Seung-won (Minister of Justice)."

Kim (Rep.) stated, "Kim Seung-won (Rep.) was one of the most active members in resolving the MBK issue while serving with me on the Political Affairs Committee," and added, "Even after taking on the role of rapporteur for the Legislation and Judiciary Committee this year, Kim Seung-won (Rep.) has consistently emphasized clarifying responsibility for the MBK incident."

She continued, "It is an open fact that Kim Kwang-il, who served as vice chairman, brought in Shin Dong-won, then deputy chief prosecutor, and Kim Jong-wook, then department head, both of whom investigated Kim (Rep.) at Kim & Chang, a law firm that represented MBK multiple times during his tenure." She added, "It may be mere rumor, but if true, it is by no means something to take lightly."

She went on to say, "I can guess why MBK finds candidate Kim burdensome," explaining, "If the candidate assumes office as Minister of Justice, the pace of investigations and decisions on whether to prosecute regarding MBK will accelerate, and clarification of management responsibility could advance further."

She also noted, "MBK's articles of incorporation include a provision that requires dismissal and claims for damages if key personnel receive guilty verdicts in the first instance for serious violations of laws or regulations." She added, "If this provision applies to Kim Byeong-ju (Chairman) and other core management members, it could lead not only to management changes and compensation burdens but also to disruptions in financing acquisition for Funds 5 and 6 and in business operations."

He stated, "Ultimately, the nomination of Kim Seung-won (Minister) is an issue that could shake even MBK's foundation," adding, "This is why there are reasonable suspicions that MBK is trying to undermine the candidate. What MBK should do is not a political maneuver to evade responsibility clarification, but to faithfully fulfill its legal and social responsibilities toward victimized workers, investors, and partner companies."

Meanwhile, an MBK official said, "The claim that we are moving to block the appointment of candidate Kim Seung-won as Minister of Justice is entirely baseless," adding, "MBK has not engaged in or participated in any activities related to the nomination and appointment procedures for the candidate."
