Song Yongji has been identified as a key figure involved in the bribery scandal of the Democratic Party's 2021 National Congress. At around 9:23 am that day, he arrived at the Seoul Central District Prosecutors Office and requested an investigation, but was refused and returned.
Prosecutors suspect that there was bribery in the Democratic Party's National Congress held in May 2021. During the election of the new party leader, several supporters of Song Yongji, led by legislator Yin Guanshi and other relevant members of the campaign camp, bribed some members of the party for a total of 94 million Korean won to help him win the election.

The prosecution has launched an investigation into this matter. On the 2nd of last month, Song Yongji voluntarily appeared in South Korea for the first time after returning from Paris, but the prosecution allowed him to return on the grounds that the investigation schedule was not determined. At that time, Song Yongji issued a statement to the media stating that it had been a week since he returned to China, and the prosecution did not summon him, but was making things difficult for those around him. I hope the prosecution will arrest me instead of making things difficult for those around me. He once again felt deeply sorry for the bribery scandal at the Democratic National Convention two years ago, stating that it was all his responsibility.
The prosecution plans to summon Song Yongji after the investigation of other relevant personnel is completed.
On the 7th, Song Yongji held a press conference in front of the prosecutor's office and held a one-person demonstration to protest against the injustice of the prosecution.
