● Controversy Over 'Lee Hwa-young's Parole Demand'

Park Yong-jin / Vice Chairperson of the Regulatory Rationalization Committee
"Making Lee Hwa-young's 'parole demand' public was The Attorney's misjudgment"
"A burden on the President, the ruling party, and the Ministry of Justice... Not a good choice"
"Things are heading toward a situation where granting parole is burdensome"

Kim Sung-tae / Former Floor Leader of the People Power Party
"Song Young-gil, Special Advisor to the President for Political Affairs... Seems to have gone to the detention center to placate Lee Hwa-young"
"Lee Hwa-young has issued a threat to President Lee, saying 'I will not stay quiet'"
"The parole demand shakes the principle of the rule of law... Making state affairs difficult to manage"

Yang Man-hee / SBS Senior Commentator
"Whether the parole demand is Lee Hwa-young's own will is a variable"
"As the remarks became public, granting parole seems to have become even more difficult"
