[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Sung-yeol] Lee Jun-seok, Chairman of the Young Party Vision Committee of the New Conservative Party, criticized writer Lee Oi-su's remarks supporting President Moon Jae-in on the 5th, saying, "Twitter bullies who fail to grasp reality and treat the public like Gabunggae (a term derived from former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk's words, meaning crayfish, crucian carp, and frog) should quit writing if they are ashamed."

On the morning of the same day, Chairman Lee posted on Facebook, "In conclusion, you are being treated like Gabunggae not only by the president and the Democratic Party but also by the so-called power Twitterati of this government," and shared a post by the writer Lee Oi-su on Twitter.

Earlier, on the afternoon of the 2nd, the writer posted on his Twitter, "Political bullies who fail to grasp reality and are obsessed with tarnishing the current government foam at the mouth claiming President Moon Jae-in ruined South Korea's economy, but the American economic magazine selected President Moon as the greatest president, ranking him number one," adding, "Isn't it time to stop foaming and just shut up?"

In response, Chairman Lee said, "Mr. Lee Oi-su suddenly and abruptly tells people to shut up on Twitter," and added, "Recently, those speakers over there have been claiming that Fortune magazine ranked President Moon Jae-in as the greatest president number one, but first, let's see how laughably sad that is."

Chairman Lee stated, "The article in Fortune was published in April 2018, at a time when the 'driver theory' with Kim Jong-un was emerging," and continued, "Of course, two years later, all the promissory notes issued then have defaulted, and Kim Jong-un is preparing to test missiles again."

He further criticized, "When a CEO who was having a good time cooking the books starts defaulting on promissory notes two years later, no one acknowledges the praise or awards that CEO received two years ago. Instead, they point fingers."

He also rebutted, "There is no category for 'greatest president number one.' He was just ranked fourth at that time, and among the others, there were no presidents, so they are making a fuss claiming he is number one among presidents as they please."

He explained, "If they are going to joke like this, Lee Jun-seok has been, and perhaps will continue to be, the number one politician born in 1985 for years," adding, "Of course, it is a meaningless first place."

Chairman Lee said, "The perception of those who bring up the April 2018 content in February 2020 to scold others as 'political bullies' with a time lag is simple," and added, "Gabunggae?crayfish, crucian carp, and frog?are confident that if they incite people, no one will check whether the content is from 2018."
