[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Min Kyung-wook, a member of the Future United Party, criticized President Moon Jae-in on the 25th, saying he "put the lives of the people at risk for the sake of winning the general election."

On that day, Min said in a post on his Facebook, "On the 20th, when the Wuhan pneumonia was rampant, President Moon did not take measures to ban Chinese entry, but instead reportedly called Xi Jinping and secured a promise for his visit to Korea."

He added, "It has now become clear why President Moon did not implement a ban on Chinese entry and allowed the people to fall into this situation," and criticized, "He tried to gain partisan benefits by risking the lives of the people for the victory in the general election. He is unfit to be president."

He continued, "The Chinese themselves are reluctant to enter Korea, and soon Koreans may be banned from entering China," calling it "a country we have never experienced before."

In another post on the same day, he also criticized the government's response to COVID-19 (novel coronavirus infection). Min said, "If we had blocked Chinese entry from the beginning, there would have been no need to lock down Daegu and Gyeongbuk," and added, "Now China is trying to block the entry of our citizens. It is an international embarrassment, and that shame belongs to our innocent citizens."
