[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Seulgi Kim] Lee Jun-seok, Supreme Council Member of the United Future Party, emphasized regarding the official apologies from Tae Young-ho, elected member of the United Future Party, and Ji Seong-ho, elected member of the Future Korea Party, that "Isn't it like receiving a very good immune shot before the term even begins?"

In an interview with CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' on the 6th, Lee said, "Using definitive language frequently or spreading uncertain information can only be dangerous."

He continued, "Actually, there have been several instances where politicians' so-called premature announcements caused problems," adding, "I believe how one responds after the situation is more important. Since (elected members Tae and Ji) admitted the information was incorrect, the controversy will not escalate further."

However, Lee expressed regret, saying, "I am quite disappointed. The number of seats is not many, and placing two defectors from North Korea there means they intend to strengthen policies related to North Korea," and added, "Until now, these individuals had no major flaws as messengers, but this time a significant flaw has emerged."

He then urged, "To make up for this, I think they need to engage in more cautious and stable legislative activities."

Lee told elected member Tae, "You have provided many insights that even our country's intelligence agencies could refer to in analyzing the situation," and said, "Although the information about Kim Jong-un's health was incorrect, there was a lot of very useful information otherwise, so it can be fully utilized in future legislative activities."

Lee explained, "When comprehensive programming channels first appeared in the past, there were so-called first-generation broadcasters like Yoon Chang-jung, anchor Park Jong-jin, and lawyer Kang Yong-seok," adding, "Some of them are no longer able to broadcast, but when using definitive language frequently or spreading uncertain information, it is definitely dangerous."

He added, "So far, I have never been sued for defamation and have been doing well."
