[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 23rd, the Justice Party criticized Tae Young-ho, a member of the Future United Party, for asking during the confirmation hearing of Lee In-young, the nominee for Minister of Unification, "Do you still believe in Juche ideology?" The party said, "It is shocking that such a question still arises in the middle of the National Assembly," and added, "The behavior of the United Party, which puts defectors like Tae as the spearhead of colorism attacks, can only be described as low-quality."

Kim Dong-gyun, deputy spokesperson of the Justice Party, said in a statement that day, "The United Party might be the one who trusts Tae the least, as if he were a punishment unit placed on the front lines to prove his bravery," and added, "If they truly recognize Tae as a member of the Republic of Korea, they should no longer assign him such harsh roles."

Deputy spokesperson Kim pointed out, "Tae received numerous suspicious glances until he was elected as a member of the National Assembly, and some still do not drop their suspicions," and questioned, "While he suffers daily under the yoke of ideological verification, should he inflict the same pain on others?"

Kim also stated, "Ideological verification was a wicked blade used by past authoritarian regimes in the Republic of Korea to suppress the people. It is obviously contradictory for someone who fled dictatorship to wield another dictatorship’s blade in the place where they settled," and urged, "(Tae) should adopt an attitude that respects the rights and freedoms of the Korean people as stipulated in the Constitution."
