[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Seulgi Kim] Lee Seung-kwang (44), a member of the group Goofy, said about the results of the 21st National Assembly election held on the 15th, "The crazy communist regime must be swept away."

On the 16th, Lee Seung-kwang expressed dissatisfaction with the election results in a post on his Instagram, saying, "Is this a country? Families who do not understand the current situation need education," and claimed, "Small business owners and small and medium-sized enterprises are all going bankrupt. And children cannot return to school, causing stress and depression among children and parents."

He then strongly criticized, saying, "Who is responsible for this mental damage? It is the Moon administration XXXs who opened up the Wuhan pneumonia and XXX."

He added, "Constitutional amendment now means going towards communism and that they can arbitrarily change and pass all laws," and said, "The days of drinking on the streets, making loud noises, and enjoying clubs are over."

He continued, "The dream of all citizens to drive a nice car and buy a nice house must now be abandoned," and said, "No, become a red (communist) by uniting with the country. I think many people will leave the country starting today."

Lee Seung-kwang claimed, "Internet comments and all social network services (SNS) are managed, and you have to be cautious about posting even one comment. If you criticize the country, you might be taken away and who knows what will happen," and said, "With the nationwide computer network opened with 5G and Huawei, you should also think about living under surveillance in every corner of your room."

When some netizens pointed out his remarks, saying "Do not spread conspiracy theories and fake news," Lee Seung-kwang retorted, "I have studied more than you and know more about politics than you," and said, "Don't leave comments without content to rebut ignorantly and crudely; study more and then come back to comment."
