Former President Moon Jae-in gave a speech to 150,000 North Korean residents at the Rungrado May 1st Stadium in Pyongyang in September 2018. That day, he called himself the ‘President of the South.’ “As the President of the South, I cannot express my excitement in words as I get to greet you through the introduction of Chairman Kim Jong-un,” he said.
Even if he were the president of South Korea, it would be shocking, but he said he was the president of the South. In the speech that day, he said, ‘Brothers and compatriots from the North,’ so it seems like he was saying that our people are compatriots from the South, and therefore it is okay to use the expressions, ‘Southern President’ and ‘Southern President.’
I don’t think Korea is a country that can be called by its direction instead of its name. If you think that’s okay, you’re very wrong. What made me recall what happened five years ago was that at the Asian Games being held in Hangzhou, China, officials from the North Korean team said, “Don’t say North Korea or North Korea.”
At a press conference held following losing the women’s basketball match between South and North Korea on the 29th of last month, a North Korean team official said to reporters who referred to them as ‘North Korea’, “We are DPRK. Don’t call it North Korea. “You must call the name correctly.” DPRK is the English abbreviation for Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
The next day, at a press conference held following winning the North-South women’s soccer match, coach Ri Yu-il of the North Korean women’s soccer team said, “It’s not the North, it’s the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea,” when the term “North Korea” was mentioned. “Let’s get that straight.”
North Korean soccer coaches are told not to say ‘North Korea.’ He is said to be unpleasant. This means that you should not say that you are in the north of Korea. However, former President Moon Jae-in referred to himself as the ‘Southern President’ five years ago. He said that North Korea is the standard and that he is the president of the country to the south. So this is shocking.
South Korea’s per capita income was at the level of the poorest country in Africa, but it has now risen to 10th place in the world. This is a country that was created by stubbornly collecting the combat pay and life pay that young soldiers received from fighting the Viet Cong in swamps that were submerged up to their waists during the Vietnam War, the money they received from working in the sweltering heat of the Middle East, and the money that young female workers, who were called industrial workers but everyone called Gongsoon, made and sold wigs. .
Many people know that in 1964, President Park Chung-hee went to the Hamborn coal mine in West Germany and met with miners and nurses dispatched to Germany. Miners and nurses cried while singing the national anthem. Miners who traveled all the way to Germany and entered the pits, and nurses who took on difficult tasks that German nurses were reluctant to do. The president and his wife of a poor country who sent their people to do such hard work cried together. From 1963 to 1977, regarding 79,000 miners and 10,000 nurses went to Germany.
POSCO is now considered the best in the world, but when it first built its steel mill, it had nothing. It was made with the blood and sweat of people who said, “If something goes wrong, let’s all turn to the right and drown in the water.” One by one, the companies that were prepared to die like that increased and created the country that is now prosperous.
There are many countries that are better to live in than us. The Republic of Korea is a country worthy of boasting to the world, having come this far with bare fists in a divided country with limited land and few natural resources.
Some people claim that we made more money than North Korea and that it is not something to brag regarding. We started worse than North Korea. Before the first five-year economic development plan began in 1962, North Korea’s per capita income was higher. According to statistics released at the end of last year, our per capita income is 28 times higher than that of North Korea. In North Korea, it is 1,423,000 won, and in Korea, it is 40,482,000 won.
Unification must be done. We shouldn’t be separated like this. However, this is not something that should be done to please North Korea by belittling him as a ‘Southern president.’ We can’t throw away all our blood and sweat over the years on the floor. It is not something to abandon freedom and democracy and pursue unification first.
Former President Moon Jae-in said five years ago on the day he was called ‘Southern President’, “During this visit, I saw the amazing development of Pyongyang. “I saw with great enthusiasm what kind of country Chairman Kim and his compatriots in North Korea are trying to create,” he said. I don’t know what amazing development he saw. It is probably not a nuclear bomb, created while swallowing up the basic livelihood of North Korean residents and receiving criticism from the world, and it is probably not an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM), or super-large multiple rocket launcher, but I do not know what it is.
He also said, “I give generous praise and applause to your leader, Chairman Kim Jong-un, who is trotting toward a new future for the nation.” Is this a new future when we wake up and hear the news of missile launches? Does former President Moon still think that Kim Jong-un is a leader worthy of praise and applause? I hope that there will never once more be a president who goes to Pyongyang and says, “I am the president of the South.”
