The special prosecution team led by Min Joong-ki summoned Kim Jin-woo, the brother of Kim Keon-hee, for questioning in the investigation into allegations involving Kim Keon-hee, but Kim's side indicated that attendance would be difficult. This is because former prosecutor Kim Sang-min claimed to have brokered the painting purchase at Kim Jin-woo's request during the investigation. The special prosecutor seeks to establish connections between Kim Jin-woo and allegations of Kim Keon-hee's intervention in candidate nominations. Former prosecutor Kim Sang-min claimed he did not know the source of funds for the painting purchase and said he would cooperate sincerely with future investigations.
