Turning to independent lawmaker Han Dong-hoon, who raised the allegations, he went on the offensive, urging Han to appear as a witness at the confirmation hearing and substantiate his claims. Right after finishing his prepared statement, Kim was caught on camera hastily asking for water ahead of questions from reporters. Check out the scene in the video. This article was translated by AI.
