There is an analysis that the so-called ‘Myeong Tae-gyun Gate’ was a major influence behind President Yoon Seok-yeol’s declaration of martial law on the 3rd.
According to media reports on the 5th, Myeong Tae-gyun, who is in prison, said through his lawyer immediately after his arrest and indictment by the Changwon District Prosecutors’ Office on the 3rd, “I earnestly request a special prosecution.” Mr. Myeong’s lawyer stated that if Mr. Myeong still had the ‘golden phone’ that he claimed to have thrown away, he would submit it to the public. This is interpreted to mean that the phone call with President Yoon could be additionally disclosed or the conversation with First Lady Kim Kun-hee could be made public.
Previously, on October 8, as the prosecution’s investigation network was narrowing, Mr. Myung claimed through the media, “If I am arrested, the regime will collapse within a month.” He added, “I haven’t even achieved 1/20th of what I did yet,” and added, “When I open my mouth, the world turns upside down.”
This is the process by which Mr. Myeong’s threats are becoming reality.
