On Nov. 16, she raised a hue and cry over "probe into truth" behind LCT scandal in Pusan, "mobilization of all investigation forces", "quick and thorough investigation" and "severe punishment of those involved in it."

Kyunghyang Daily News said that Park who refused to face the prosecution's investigation attempted to misuse LCT.

Media Today and Hangyore also lambasted Park's cynical ploy.

CBS accused Park of ordering a thorough investigation into LCT scandal.

Kukmin Ilbo, Korea Economic Daily and other papers noted that the "Park's order to investigate the LCT scandal means that she does not abandon the right to monopolize the administration".

Lawmakers from the Minju Party held that Park should bear the responsibility for the monopolization of administration of her own accord and immediately face the prosecution's investigation from the stand of being involved in bribery cases.
