In a social media post, Rep. Han pointed out that he did not understand what the request for the material had to do with the hearing, and also took issue with the background of the National Election Commission providing it. He criticized it on the grounds that the NEC may be taking retaliatory action against him. Similar criticism came from the People Power Party as well. Reps. Yoon Sanghyun and Park Jeongha argued that it was a request for materials unrelated to the subject of the hearing, and that if necessary, the facts should be confirmed by calling witnesses to the hearing.
