Kim Hyun-chul, the second son of former President Kim Young-sam

[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] Kim Hyun-chul, the second son of the late former President Kim Young-sam and executive director of the Kim Young-sam Democracy Center, launched a barrage of criticism at President Moon Jae-in.

On the 5th, Kim posted on his Facebook, "Moon Jae-in, exactly which country's president are you?" criticizing President Moon's crisis response capabilities regarding the novel coronavirus infection (Wuhan pneumonia) situation.

He said, "You are boasting about having been president for 1,000 days, so you must be quite idle," adding, "Even though dozens of people are dying daily in China, you are not controlling the 20,000 Chinese entering our country every day; instead, you are just watching China’s reactions. Don’t you care about the safety of our citizens?"

He continued, "Regardless of what happens to the people, your own urgent issue is the Ulsan election manipulation case, so you prevented the prosecution from even disclosing the indictment through a puppet Minister of Justice," and criticized, "It is utterly absurd, but no matter what you do, the crimes you committed will not disappear."

Kim also wrote, "With the cold and harsh election approaching, although it may not be true, take a moment to reflect on the things that have caused the people to shed tears of blood," and warned, "The stern judgment of the people awaits you, so prepare your heart firmly."

Meanwhile, Kim Hyun-chul had expressed support for President Moon in the run-up to the 2017 presidential election after receiving an invitation from him, along with members of the Sando-dong faction, and joined the Democratic Party of Korea in May of that year. However, about 1 year and 8 months later, in January last year, he revealed differences and left the party, and since then has voiced criticism toward President Moon.

In January as well, he said, "That person called president is insulting the people by treating them like dogs and pigs in a press conference," and warned, "If we remain silent, they will truly look down on us and treat us as mere playthings, and the world will fall into a totalitarian state similar to North Korea’s system."
