In March 2013, I received 40 million won from Gyeong-gong-mo (an online political forum led by "Druking") over two occasions.
It was given with no strings attached. The money was voluntarily collected by a majority of Gyeong-gong-mo members so it should have been accepted after passing through due process regarding sponsorship. I didn't however. Who else should I blame. It was a foolish choice and shameful decision.
I have to take the responsibility. Above all I have tarnished the name of our party that has come this far against all odds. I cannot face straight party leader Lee Jung-mi and dearest party members out of shame.
Neither statutory punishment nor discipline of the party would suffice. I request to my dearest party members. I stop here but the party should proudly move forward. I am sorry to the public. Please blame me for all of my faults and I sincerely request you to support the Justice Party.
