[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Jeong Cheong-rae, the elected member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Ahn Cheol-soo, the leader of the People’s Party, saying he is "still no answer."

On the 7th, Jeong shared an article on his Facebook in which Ahn evaluated the recent general election as "not a victory for the ruling party but a defeat for the opposition," and made this comment.

He then questioned, "If Korea won 3 to 1 in a Korea-Japan match, would you say 'Korea did not win, but Japan lost'? Would you tell a newly admitted university student, 'You did not pass, but other examinees failed'?"

He added, "No matter how much 'freedom of expression' there is, do you still not realize that the opposition lost and the ruling party won? Do you still not understand that the support for President Moon Jae-in, who handled the COVID-19 quarantine well, was a major factor in the ruling party’s victory? Do you not know about the praise from foreign countries?"

He also said, "Do you still not know why the people only gave three seats to Ahn Cheol-soo’s party? Do you truly not understand the stern judgment of the people against the opposition? The winner should have the virtue of humility, and the loser should accept defeat as a matter of principle," he pointed out.

Finally, he emphasized, "The Democratic Party will not be complacent with victory but will do its best to achieve results more humbly, with heavier responsibility and greater competence."
