[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo stated on the 1st, "It is said that the Moon Jae-in administration is pushing for a third North Korea-US summit before the US presidential election," and asked, "Will the American people be deceived again by another disguised peace talk this time?"


On the same day, Hong said on Facebook, "Just as the inter-Korean and North Korea-US summits deceived the entire nation and the world ahead of South Korea's local elections two years ago, it is said that the same is being pushed ahead of the US presidential election this time."


On the 2nd, Hong criticized former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon’s opposition to a bill mandating the execution of heinous criminals, pointing out, "Are the governors of the 30 US states that carry out executions all totalitarians, and is Japan, which carries out executions annually, a totalitarian state?"



Hong added, "While opposing on the grounds of the possibility of wrongful convictions has some validity, calling it far-right populism is unbecoming of an intellectual," and urged, "Be cautious."
