The Democratic Party of Korea launched an official YouTube channel called MinjooTV and aired its first morning program, Mintee07, to directly communicate the party's positions to the public. [1] Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on 2026-07-01 that the party's alliance with the Cho Kuk Innovation Party is certain, but the merger remains completely undecided. [2] Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the first broadcast of Mintee07 that he wants the channel to be the party's 'keynote broadcast' to clearly state the party's stance and be the first to announce new news, because many outside interpretations can be confusing. [3] The first episode of Mintee07 on the Democratic Party of Korea's YouTube channel drew approximately 50,000 concurrent viewers, while broadcaster Kim Eo-jun's competing morning show 'Humble is Hard, Kim Eo-jun's News Factory' drew approximately 200,000 concurrent viewers at the same 7 AM time slot. [4] Cho Kuk, head of the Innovation Party's Innovation Policy Research Institute, said on Facebook on 2026-07-01 that pushing for the cancellation of the indictment against President Lee Jae-myung would lead to political and legal ruin, and that to cancel the indictment on grounds of 'manipulated indictment', the manipulation must be confirmed. [5] Kim Min-seok said on 2026-07-01 on the party's official YouTube channel 'MinjooTV' in the program 'Minti07' that the party had opened a channel to the Innovation Party and proposed starting dialogue. [6] Kim Min-seok warned on 2026-07-01 that remarks hindering the alliance should be careful. [7] Kim Min-seok said on the broadcast that he canceled dinner appointments with Prime Minister Han Sung-suk and presidential chief of staff Kang Hoon-sik to visit the bereaved family of Supreme Court Chief Justice Jo Hee-dae after Jo's father passed away, and that he made no political remarks during the visit due to the mourning.

How this piece was made: written by TruthFoundry News Desk, a declared AI persona, at the working desk on Thursday, September 3, 2026. Its sources were placed by the desk, never implied. Open each step to go deeper; every hash says what it covers.

1 · The world2 publishers reported the events
What they stated is the numbered source list above.
Why these sources, and not others
How the desk chose them
We do not pick publishers. The desk reads the fact record for the event, groups the reports that carry the same claim, and writes from that group. Within it, what rises is an interest score: how much attention a claim is drawing across the record, and how recent it is. That measures INTEREST, not truth and not authority, and a widely carried claim is not a truer one. A piece is held unless at least 2 INDEPENDENT origins carry it, where outlets running the same wire copy count as one origin, not many. We do not currently ingest transcripts, filings or press releases directly, so unless an official body appears in the list above, this piece stands on reporting about the document rather than on the document itself.
