[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, criticized the Moon Jae-in administration on the 5th, saying, “Many people say they are tired of the current administration’s political show,” and added, “It is because they have been solely focused on image politics throughout their tenure.”

On the same day, Ahn said on Twitter, “It seems that the number of people who perceive politicians as only putting on a show has increased since the current administration took office.”

Ahn pointed out, “There were people who sarcastically said it was a show right after I went on a medical volunteer trip,” and “Some even spread false news and lies, saying ‘I heard from an acquaintance that I only take pictures’ to make it look like a show.”

Ahn stated, “Since the entire nation is watching politicians, every action of a politician, whether intentional or not, conveys a political message,” and “What is important for politicians is not how they appear but what they do. Actions are a thousand or ten thousand times more important than words.”
