In response to Han Dong-hoon's claim to 'release the recording transcript', Cho Kuk said, "How about releasing the phone that 'failed to unlock'?"

Former Democratic United Party member Hong Dong-hyun challenged former Innovation Party Chairman Jung Kwon-rae, who claimed that he would like to have access to all of Hong's mobile phone data during a national assembly session. Jung, a former chairman of the Innovation Party, mentioned that a sealed mobile phone that was previously taken from Hong failed to be unlocked by law enforcement authorities.

Jung questioned whether Hong would be willing to share his mobile phone content with the national assembly if he had it. Jung stated that although it may sound plausible, it is actually illegal to release such recordings. He went on to explain that in 2020, Hong set a 20-digit password on his mobile phone, and in 2022, the prosecutors could not conduct forensic analysis due to a lack of technical capability, leading to Hong being acquitted of any wrongdoing.

Jung also referenced the "Channel A (A) journalist's suspicion" case, in which prosecutors failed to unlock Hong's iPhone password for 22 months, due to a lack of technical ability. According to Jung, if the prosecutors had unlocked the password, Hong would have been charged and found guilty. When asked if he would like to see all of Hong's mobile phone data on the national assembly floor, Jung expressed his desire for it.

Last month, on the 21st, Seoul Central District Court ruled in favor of Hong's acquittal as a second-degree conviction. The court stated that the evidence collected from Hong's phone during the investigation process was obtained illegally, and therefore, the evidence had no credibility. Hong was charged with a crime in March 2023 for allegedly receiving 60 million won from a business partner.
