[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the United Future Party, criticized the ruling party's public discussion on the 'administrative capital relocation' and Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for his remark calling Seoul 'shallow,' saying it is "something to be ashamed of."

On the 26th, Joo raised his voice on his Facebook, saying, "Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun apologized to the public regarding the 'tap water larvae incident.' But is tap water the only thing this administration should apologize to the people for?"

He said, "Isn't it also shameful that real estate prices are soaring, and that the government is blaming all citizens as criminals while issuing haphazard and reckless countermeasures? Citizens who have been hit with a tax bomb are asking, 'Is this country yours?' so this is not the time to be banging on the window with a sudden administrative capital relocation." He added, "If they thought the people would be deceived, that is truly something to be ashamed of."

Joo wrote, "The ruling party leader who does not hesitate to make the crude remark 'shallow Seoul,' and the ruling party lawmakers who fiercely criticize the investigation committee on the 'prosecutor-media collusion' case should all be ashamed of themselves."

He continued, "Policies are directionless, and the administration is shaking the national system. There is no way the country can remain intact," and criticized, "'This country is not yours.' They need to deeply consider why the people are angry."
