While the Ethics Committee of the People’s Power Central Party decided to take additional disciplinary action once morest party leader Lee Jun-seok, the fashion politics of Lee Yang-hee, chairman of the ethics committee, is drawing attention. This is because analysis shows that the top and bottom appear in front of the camera in a unified fashion with one color only when deciding and discussing the disciplinary action once morest CEO Lee, delivering an intended message to the public.
According to the Power of the People on the 19th, Chairman Lee, who held the Central Ethics Committee the day before and discussed the disciplinary action once morest CEO Lee, appeared in a white top and bottom suit. Before the committee was held, Chairman Lee met with reporters and demanded, “I do not make decisions under any circumstances and do not start the meeting” and “Please refrain from speculative articles.” This seems to have been conscious of the argument that CEO Lee was summoned by the police the day before, and the ethics committee was convened more ‘rapidly’ than originally expected.
When these remarks came out, it was interpreted that Chairman Lee’s white suit was also a fashion to convey the message that he was ‘honest and innocent without political intentions’. The reason for this interpretation is that, in July, when Lee was suspended from party membership for six months, he wore a red suit up and down to convey an indirect message.
Red is a color that symbolizes the power of the people, and it has been evaluated that it implied that the unprecedented decision to severely punish the party leader was a ‘first party heir’ decision for the party. Chairman Lee’s message through fashion and color only stands out when discussing disciplinary action once morest Lee. On August 22, at the time of discussing whether or not to discipline Rep. Kim Seong-won, who was controversial for saying “I wish it rained more”, he wore a navy blue suit and a white blouse and showed off two-color fashion.
Chairman Lee is the daughter of the late Lee Cheol-seung, former leader of the New Democratic Party, who served for a seventh term. She served as the UN Commissioner, Vice-Chairman and Chairperson for the Rights of the Child, and she served as the first South Korean special rapporteur on human rights in the United Nations in Myanmar.
