Myung's associate claims to have heard another call between President and Myung

[Anchor]A close associate of Myung Tae-kyun claimed that they have heard another phone call related to the nomination, different from the one between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun that had already been disclosed.This associate was investigated by the prosecution today (11.25).Reporter Son Won-hyuk has the story.[Report]At the end of last month, the Democratic Party released a recording of a phone call between President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun during the time of his election.[Call between then-elect President Yoon Suk Yeol and Myung Tae-kyun: "I told them to have Kim Young-sun do it, but there have been many comments from the party..."]Both Myung and President Yoon denied allegations of interference in the nominations.However, a person has emerged claiming to have heard another recording of the president's voice in a similar context.A close associate of Myung, referred to as A, told reporters that the president called Myung Tae-kyun 'Dr. Myung' and said he called Yoon Sang-hyun, the then head of the nomination committee, instructing him to inform former lawmaker Kim Young-sun to prepare, and that they heard the president's voice directly.A also specified the time and place when they heard the recording.It was during lunch with Myung and former lawmaker Kim at a hotel in Changwon on June 1, 2022, the day of the by-election for the National Assembly.Compared to the previously disclosed content of the president's voice, the recording that A claims to have heard essentially informs about the nomination decision.It remains to be confirmed whether this is part of the call released by the Democratic Party or a different call, but it is the first time that a close associate of Myung has claimed to have directly heard the president's voice.A was questioned as a witness by the prosecution today (11.25).Myung has also undergone his fourth prosecution investigation since his arrest, while his lawyer refrained from commenting on the so-called 'golden phone' lobbying allegations.[Nam Sang-gwon/Myung Tae-kyun's lawyer: "(Is there any mention of the evidence referred to as the golden phone...?) I will remain silent on that matter."]The prosecution also summoned Kang Hye-kyung for the tenth time, continuing the investigation into allegations of political opinion polls related to the 2021 Seoul mayoral by-election.This is KBS News, Son Won-hyuk.
