[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 6th, the People’s Party criticized the Moon Jae-in administration, saying, “The additional mask measures announced yesterday are a quasi-rationing policy that belatedly acknowledges supply shortages and shifts to demand suppression,” and added, “If people are to buy only two masks per week, there should be considerations for vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, as well as measures for those who meet customers daily for their livelihood, but this was not the case.”

Joo Isaak, deputy spokesperson of the People’s Party, said in a statement that day, “They even told people to wear health masks like KF80 and KF94, but then advised reusing disposable masks or recommended cloth masks, a zigzag approach that is undermining public trust in health authorities.”

Deputy spokesperson Joo pointed out, “The Moon Jae-in administration’s image overlaps with a lyric from a certain song that goes, ‘One moment this way, then that way, are you playing around day and night?’”

He added, “The voices of the people calling this government incompetent due to its desk-bound administration are growing louder,” and said, “The People’s Party once again emphasizes that the life and safety of the people are paramount and urges the health authorities to respond swiftly to the issues previously pointed out.”
