[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lim Chun-han] As Lee Hae-chan, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, sparked controversy with his remark about the "vulgarity of Seoul," the United Future Party put up a backdrop targeting this on the 27th.

At the emergency committee meeting held that afternoon, the United Future Party displayed a backdrop with the phrase "Beautiful Capital, Seoul's Mysterious First Defeat."

This was a direct response to Lee's comment that "Seoul is a vulgar city." On the 24th, during a talk concert at Sejong City Hall, Lee said, "If you pass by the Han River in Seoul by boat, you have to explain 'how much per pyeong of an apartment' continuously. We should not create such a vulgar city," which caused controversy.

Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the United Future Party, pointed out on Facebook on the 26th that "he is uttering profanity towards the people," and Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the United Future Party, criticized Lee by mentioning his past rude remarks related to Busan, saying, "Suddenly, the capital of the Republic of Korea and the second-largest city have become vulgar and shabby cities."

On the 20th, they displayed a backdrop quoting Democratic Party lawmaker Jin Sung-jun's words from MBC's 100-minute debate: "Even so, housing prices do not fall. - Democratic Party of Korea," and on the 23rd, they prepared a backdrop with the phrase "In this country, is tap water the only thing we cannot trust?"
