The Sept. 1 edition of Hankyoreh21’s “News Dive” focuses on Kim Yong-beom’s resignation and questions over responsibility for leveraged exchange-traded funds and real estate.
It also examines controversy surrounding ministerial nominee Yong Hye-in, including her simultaneous holding of a parliamentary seat and the fallout from satellite parties.

The program further discusses reports that Lee Jun-seok could join the Democratic Party, his warning of legal action against 80 panelists, political figures’ visits and statements, and a Unification Church case in which Hak Ja Han received a two-year prison sentence and 26 billion won was seized from a bedroom safe.
