The Democratic Party of South Korea (더불어민주당) continued to raise questions on May 5th regarding allegations of bribery related to the late former President Roh Moo-hyun, focusing their criticism on independent lawmaker Hong Seok-cheon (한동훈). The party accused Hong of actions linked to the investigation of the late president. This renewed focus on the case has sparked a new round of political contention, with party members demanding accountability and an end to any attempts to shield individuals from scrutiny. Accusations included calls for Hong to "confess" and to refrain from creating a “sacred zone” around the investigation. This follows ongoing political tensions and accusations between the Democratic Party and figures connected to the Roh Moo-hyun case, occurring in Seoul. Reporters Park Su-yoon and Park Jae-ha from Yonhap News Agency reported on the unfolding situation.
