Criticisms from pro-Moon Jae-in (pro-mun) people are continuing day following day toward Rep. Jae-Myeong Lee, who was elected in the June 1, Incheon by-election in Gyeyang. He is raising his voice over the strategic nomination of Rep. Lee in the local elections in an unrelated area. Rep. Lee has been silent for two days, avoiding clashes, but pro-Lee Jae-myung (pro-name) lawmakers are bubbly preparing for a counterattack.

“Suddenly, Lee Jae-myung was nominated for strategic position”
Kim Jong-min, a close friend of the lawmaker, appeared on MBC radio on the 3rd and said, “It was decisive that Lee Jae-myung and Song Young-gil, two former representatives, ran for office following a month (following losing the presidential election) as the cause of the catastrophic defeat in the local election.” He continued, “It is fundamental to democracy that the party leader who resigned from the presidential election less than a month later went to another election and said, ‘I don’t think I did anything wrong’ and ‘I’m sorry for leading the election’ and went back to the election. It goes once morest common sense.”
The strategic nomination process of Rep. Lee’s Incheon Gyeyang was also taken into consideration. He pointed out that even though Rep. Jo Eung-cheon, who was a member of the emergency response committee, objected to the disclosure right before the nomination was confirmed for Lee, Ho-jung Yun and Ji-hyeon Park, former co-chairs of the committee, confirmed the strategic nomination.
In an interview with CBS Radio, Rep. Hong Young-pyo said, “40 out of 49 members of the Seoul National Assembly opposed (former Song’s candidacy) and passed it on to the party, and the Strategic Nomination Committee also cut-off (exclusion of nomination).” It was something that didn’t happen in the morning,” he said. In fact, it is interpreted as referring to Rep. Lee Jae-myung, who is close to former CEO Song.
Rep. Lee Won-wook, who was the chairman of the Strategic Nomination Committee at the time, added to the argument of pro-municipal lawmakers by stating, “The places where the Strategic Nomination Committee decided and the non-commissioned committee finally decided were Gangwon Governor and Gangneung Gangwon.” It is believed that the influence of Rep. Lee, who was the presidential candidate, was also influential in the process of forming the non-captain.

Jae-myung Lee, silence for the second day… Spread of ‘Your fault workshop’ within the party
Rep. Lee did not reveal any particular position on the second day of entering the House. He usually posted several posts a day on social networking services (SNS), but he is closing his mouth as the theory of responsibility for defeat has surfaced around him. Rep. Lee also did not attend the annual meeting of party members and members of the National Assembly convened to discuss responses to the election results. Assemblyman Lee’s explanation is that “there are many constituency schedules”, but there is an interpretation that it is an extension of ‘Loki’s walk’. When this lawmaker was on the defensive, pro-Myung-gye lawmakers also voiced their voices. Rep. Lee Su-jin (Seoul Dongjak-eul) asked, “How might one or two people have the cause of the defeat?”
After the election defeat, there were also voices criticizing the focus on ‘Your fault workshop’ rather than constructive discussions for the party. Park Soo-hyeon, former chief of public communication at the Blue House, criticized through SNS, saying, “What is the point of ‘friend versus friend’? I can’t raise my face because I’m too shy.”
