Kim Geon-hee Special Investigation, 'Nomination Involvement Suspicion' Yoon Sang-hyun Summoned for Investigation on 27th

[Financial News] The special investigation team led by Kim Geon-hee (Min Jung-gi Special Prosecutor) will summon Yoon Sang-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, for investigation.
The special investigation team announced on the 23rd that they will conduct a summons investigation on Yoon on the 27th at 9:30 AM.
Yoon was the chairman of the nomination management committee of the People Power Party during the 2022 by-election nomination involvement suspicion. Former President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife are suspected of having arranged for former lawmaker Kim Young-sun to be nominated in the same year's by-election in return for receiving a free public opinion survey from political broker Myung Tae-kyun during the 21st presidential election process.
The disclosed transcript contains the content where former President Yoon tells Mr. Myung the day before the People Power Party's by-election nomination announcement, "I worked hard for Kim Young-sun since the primary, so please help Kim Young-sun. There are many talks in the party," and "I will talk to Sang-hyun (Yoon) once more. He is the nomination committee chairman," he said. 
The special investigation team searched Yoon's National Assembly office and home, as well as former lawmaker Kim's home, on the 8th. Yoon submitted his mobile phone at that time but did not provide the password, but recently cooperated by providing the password to the special investigation team. The special investigation team also requested the attendance of former lawmaker Kim and Mr. Myung.
