A column by the editor of the Chosun Ilbo, which pointed out that the start of the tragedy of President Yoon Seok-yeol’s fall in approval ratings as a criticism of President Yun by Party spokesman Park Min-young, who is considered an aide to Lee Jun-seok, is controversial. CEO Lee Jun-seok responded with intense anger.
Spokesperson Park’s criticism was aimed at pointing out President Yoon’s sarcastic remarks to reporters, “Have you ever seen such a wonderful person in the previous administration?” The content of the column is the analysis that President Yoon was enraged following seeing this and became even more divided. However, President Lee Jun-seok countered that even though President Yoon made remarks that he should not have said at the time, spokesman Kang In-seon, who was next to him, did not do his part, and spokesman Park did his part. Spokesperson Park Min-young said that while trying to mediate between President Yoon and CEO Lee, it was like instigating a conflict once more, but he said that he would keep the principle.
On the 4th, Chosun Ilbo editor Yang Sang-hoon wrote, “President Yoon’s text message saying, ‘The party leader who used to shoot internally’, in the ‘President Yang Sang-hoon column, write only three words of patience’ on the 4th. I think it was because the message was exposed.” He commented, “It became a trigger that once once more shocked the approval rating that seemed to be hitting the floor.”
At the same time, Joo-Pil Yang further gave an interpretation of the root cause of the decline in President Yoon’s approval rating. Yang Joo-pil wrote, “I guess that the beginning of this situation is the commentary made by Park Min-young, youth spokesperson for the People’s Power.” On the 5th, when President Yoon answered a brief question and answer (door stepping) on his way to work, when he was asked, ‘Some ministerial candidates have pointed out poor personnel and personnel failures’, he replied, “Then, I saw such a great person among ministers appointed by the previous administration.” done. Yang Joo-pil said, “There was emotion in these words,” but “The very same day, Spokesperson Park Min-young posted on Facebook, ‘The Democratic Party didn’t do that. cannot be an answer to the people’s questions,’ he wrote. It was a criticism of President Yoon,” he wrote.
However, Joo-pil Yang said, “I have been covering politics for a long time, but this is the first time I have seen a spokesman of the ruling party publicly criticize his president. It is the shield and spear of the party. He was the target of unconditional defense when it came to the matter of his party president. Even past spokespersons have publicly criticized the president as a taboo among taboos.” He continued, “President Yoon’s feelings at the unprecedented criticism of his party spokesperson… I thought that the anger would be great, so I asked around and they said it was true.” He explained, “It must feel like someone stabbed you in the back, so anyone must have been angry.” Then, Joo-pil Yang warned, “This is the point where the president becomes in danger.”
Joo-pil Yang said, “Even if that was not the case, as President Yoon who hated President Lee, he might have thought that President Lee was behind Spokesperson Park’s criticism,” he said. Regarding the fact that the People’s Power Central Ethics Committee imposed a six-month suspension of party members for the suspicion of ‘repaying sex and destroying evidence’ by Lee, Joo-Pil Yang said, “Without the results of the police investigation, without any evidence, it was the deprivation of the party’s representative position. “The results of the police investigation have not yet been released,” he said. So, it is speculated that the disciplinary action of this representative of the People’s Power must have had an effect on President Yoon’s anger as well.”
Then, on the 26th of last month, President Yoon sent a text message to floor leader Kwon Seong-dong saying that the party was doing well because the ‘party leader who used to shoot internally’ was gone. Yang Joo-pil said, “President Yoon’s ‘internal firing’ must have meant not only Lee, who continued to criticize him during the presidential election, but also the criticism of Park’s spokesperson. The moment I saw the text message from He said, “If I had been quiet, I would have read the loyalty of Spokesperson Park,” he said. .
President Lee Jun-seok strongly protested once morest the premise that ‘if it really happened’, the premise that President Yoon was angered at the point of Spokesperson Park Min-young, though, in the column that Lee Jun-seok pointed out that President Yoon should be cautious as a whole. In a post on his Facebook page on the morning of the 4th, CEO Lee Jun-seok quoted Yang Joo-pil’s column and said, “It is a testimony that makes you doubt your eyes.” criticized that
In addition, Chairman Lee said, “Since taking office, I have never said anything regarding using this or not to use that in any comments written by the spokesperson. Regarding Spokesperson Park, CEO Lee said, “He was a person who worked hard day and night during the presidential election to make a promise of shorts in 59 seconds, and wanted to win the election of President Yoon. did.
In particular, President Lee criticized President Yoon’s remarks, saying, “Then, among the ministers nominated by the previous administration, I have seen such a wonderful person.” He said, “What was more serious than this remark was that Spokesperson Kang In-sun did nothing to do, and Spokesperson Park Min-young didn’t do anything, and spokesman Min-young Park did not do anything. I did more than I had to do with courage and a sense of responsibility.”
In a Facebook post on the 5th of last month, Spokesperson Park Min-young said, “I wanted to proudly say, ‘I’m glad it’s the Yun Seok-yeol government’ rather than ‘I’m better than the Moon Jae-in government’. It is beyond shame and even tragic.” Spokesperson Park wrote, “It should be different,” and “I am speaking with a bloody heart.”
On the 4th, Spokesperson Park said in a post on her Facebook page following Yang Joo-pil’s column and CEO Lee Jun-seok’s objection came out, “The intention to mediate has become a form of incitement to conflict, and the reality that anyone can interpret that way. I express my regrets,” he wrote, “but even if there is criticism from both sides, I will keep my principles.”
