Some compared it with the admission of Chung Yoo-ra, daughter of Choi Soon-sil, into Ewha Womans University using her mother's connection to former President Park Geun-hye. On May 6, the day after the press conference, the People's Party issued 13 statements condemning Moon Joon-yong for special treatment he received. Ahn Cheol-soo, co-founder of the People's Party, was defeated by Moon in the May election. “While the party calls on the prosecution to get to the bottom of this case, we will launch our own probe team to find out what happened and sternly punish those responsible in accordance with party regulations,” said Park Joo-sun, an interim party chief, at the press briefing on Monday. Another point to watch is whether Ahn campaign officials went ahead with the May 5 press briefing to attack the Moon campaign even though they knew the tape was fake. Cho Jae-yeon, a prosecutor involved in the investigation, declined to answer whether Lee Yoo-mi confessed she was instructed to create the tape by senior campaign staff, citing an ongoing probe, according to the JoongAng Ilbo. But he said Lee had acknowledged she was responsible for the fake material on Tuesday. Former People's Party nominee Ahn has yet to issue a statement on the issue as of press time Tuesday.
