[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] On the 21st, Gwak Sang-do, a member of the Future United Party, criticized President Moon Jae-in for having lunch with director Bong Joon-ho and the cast and crew of the movie Parasite, saying, "This is not the time for the president to be leisurely talking while eating Jjapaguri."

On the same day, Gwak wrote on his Facebook, "Since President Moon's statement on ending COVID-19 on the 13th, the number of confirmed cases, which was only about 30 in the metropolitan area, has spread nationwide to over 160," adding, "I am furious at the government's complacent and delayed response."

He said, "Early this morning, a mother of a child in Daegu asked for help because masks were sold out at nearby pharmacies and she could not find any. She said she could not go around city pharmacies looking for masks because she has a 30-month-old child and is pregnant with her second child," and pointed out, "The president should listen to voices from the field and make an all-out effort to prevent COVID-19."

Previously, on the 20th, President Moon invited the Parasite team, which won four awards including the highest honor, Best Picture, to the Blue House and had lunch featuring 'Green Onion Jjapaguri' made by First Lady Kim Jung-sook.
