Kwak Sang-eon said, "Han Dong-hoon, you dare to say that the 'Roh Moo-hyun bribery allegations' are 'facts'... show me the evidence."
Former President Roh Moo-hyun's uncle, Park Sang-yeon, criticized a fellow lawmaker, Han Dong-hoon, for characterizing investigations and media coverage of Roh's alleged improper financial dealings as "fact." Park stated that he would take responsibility for clarifying and verifying the "fact," saying, "Show me that fact and I'll take responsibility."
Park claimed to have been involved in the investigation process as a "defender," "reviewer," or "complainant" during that time, and that people from both progressive and conservative backgrounds had accused him and his family of accepting bribes. Park expressed that while he may not know the extent to which the investigations and media coverage were accurate, he would take responsibility if given a clear explanation.
The incident occurred following a previous claim by Han Dong-hoon that Roh received a 3 billion won Jaeger-LeCoultre watch and several tens of millions of dollars in illegal funds from a sponsor during a fundraiser. Roh's office denied these allegations, and the Democratic Party's spokesperson condemned the "malicious rumor" as a "death sentence" for Roh.
Another opposition lawmaker called the statement "despicable," pointing out that the lawmaker should be criticized for using Roh's death to attack him.
