[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju and a presidential candidate from the opposition, criticized Democratic Party lawmaker Jin Seong-jun's remark that "house prices will not fall," saying, "This is the nature of this administration. They only pretend to act but do not really intend to do anything."


On the 17th, Governor Won said on Facebook, "President Moon Jae-in should stop having aides and bureaucrats who say they will not sell houses in Gangnam, dismiss ministers who failed in their policies, and first silence ruling party lawmakers who mock the president's words, instead of just saying he will control house prices."


He pointed out, "By looking at actions rather than words, you can accurately see the essence of the Moon administration," adding, "They call themselves a feminist administration, yet even though three metropolitan governors?Ahn Hee-jung, Oh Keo-don, and Park Won-soon?resigned over sexual harassment issues, the president has not apologized. Moreover, despite opposition from women's groups, they boldly promoted Tak Hyun-min, who caused controversy with sexual remarks, to presidential protocol secretary, reinstating him."


Governor Won said, "They have destroyed the national dignity of the Republic of Korea and openly mocked women," adding, "And yet they shamelessly talk about feminism and women's rights."


He stated, "The true nature of this administration comes out in words spoken thinking the microphone is off, and in the bedroom inside the office," adding, "No past administration has been so different inside and out. The Moon administration never admits mistakes, never apologizes, and never takes responsibility."


Regarding the government's prosecutorial reform, judicial reform, and media reform, he said, "Prosecutorial reform aims to create prosecutors who obey the power, judicial reform aims to create a judiciary that delivers not guilty verdicts for their side, and media reform aims to create a regime propaganda agency," adding, "The reforms used by this administration are just another word for control."



He added, "The characteristic of the Moon administration is pretending to be equal, pretending to be fair, pretending to be just, but not truly pursuing fairness and justice," and "The administration pretends to act, but does not, and the people pretend to be deceived, but are not deceived."
