Kim Eui-gyeom's 'Plea' Faces Unified Criticism from Opposition Parties: "Only the Gold Badge Shines Amid the Wuhan Pneumonia Chaos"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding former Blue House spokesperson Kim Ui-gyeom's plea to Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, to "just allow me to run as a preliminary candidate," the opposition parties strongly criticized him, calling it a second case of Cho Kuk and Son Hye-won.

Hwang Gyu-hwan, deputy spokesperson of the Liberty Korea Party, criticized on the 1st in a statement, saying, "Former spokesperson Kim's tedious victim cosplay is too harsh on the people."

Deputy spokesperson Hwang said, "Kim, who is under public outrage for real estate speculation allegations and is even under prosecution investigation, is instead protesting that he is the victim," adding, "It seems that the unique lies and hypocrisy of Moon Jae-in administration officials, who outwardly say 'I was wrong, I apologize' but inwardly think 'I did nothing wrong,' have been ingrained in former spokesperson Kim as well."

He criticized, "The shamelessness of forcing to run for the general election despite having resigned taking responsibility for the wrongdoing, the complacent morality of claiming there is no problem because the speculative gains were donated to a foundation, and the blame-shifting attitude that all of this is due to conservative media," adding, "In a situation where he is running because he wants to, the tedious victim cosplay is rather harsh on the people."

Lee Jong-cheol, spokesperson of the New Conservative Party, also condemned, saying, "Following Professor Cho Kuk, after 'Cho Beonbeon' comes 'Kim Beonbeon' (Kim the shameless)," calling him "a 'second Son Hye-won' who insisted it was not speculation but was eventually indicted."

He pointed out, "Former spokesperson Kim said that Lee Hae-chan is watching the eyes of Cho Joong-dong and the comprehensive programming channels. For Leader Lee, this is an insult upon insult," adding, "It shows how crookedly Kim views the world with a divisive perspective and how much he ignores public criticism and general public opinion."

Regarding former spokesperson Kim's refusal to disclose the donation destination, he also criticized, saying, "It is questionable why he insists on not revealing the donation destination," and "It is also incomprehensible that out of nearly 900 million won in price difference, less than 400 million won was donated, yet he claims to have donated the entire difference."

Kim Jeong-hwa, spokesperson of the Bareunmirae Party, also raised her voice on the 2nd, saying, "Former spokesperson Kim's shamelessness is at its peak," and "The problem is not Kim's real estate but the speculation king 'you'." She criticized, "While the world is turned upside down by the Wuhan pneumonia, Kim Ui-gyeom, who still craves the gold badge, is a disgrace to the people," adding, "If you really want to run, form a party and face the judgment of the people. The party name 'Sisechahik Party' (Capital Gains Party) would be fitting."
