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 added, "Rumors have been circulating that MBK is making every effort to block the appointment of candidate Kim Seung-won (Minister of Justice)."

Kim (Rep.) said, "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 previously served as vice chairman, brought in Shin Dong-won, then deputy chief prosecutor, and Kim Jong-wook, then department head prosecutor, both of whom investigated Kim (Rep.) at Kim & Chang, a law firm that has represented MBK numerous times." She noted, "It may be mere rumor, but if true, it is by no means something to take lightly."

She went on, "I can guess why MBK finds candidate Kim burdensome. 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 responsibility among management could advance further," she said.

She also stated, "MBK's articles of incorporation include a provision that mandates 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 not only lead to management changes and financial burdens from compensation but also disrupt financing arrangements for Funds 5 and 6 as well as business operations."

He remarked, "Ultimately, the nomination of Kim Seung-won (Minister) is a matter that could shake MBK's very foundation. This is why there are reasonable suspicions that MBK is attempting to undermine candidate Kim. What MBK should do is not engage in political maneuvering to evade responsibility clarification, but faithfully fulfill its legal and social responsibilities toward victimized workers, investors, and partner companies," he added.
