[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the United Future Party, criticized on the 30th, saying, "The Democratic Party leadership is making misjudgments out of arrogance in recent state affairs management."

Floor leader Joo made these remarks while attending the party's 'Cider Policy Seminar' held at the National Assembly that morning. At the seminar, Professor Kim Kyung-il of the Psychology Department at Ajou University gave a lecture titled "Misjudgments Caused by Human Arrogance."

In his greeting, floor leader Joo said, "Classics from both the East and West state that arrogance is the reason organizations collapse." He added, "The problem is that one can see others' arrogance but not one's own."

He stated, "Even during the dynastic era, the crown prince had a tutor, and after becoming king, time was set aside to listen to the wisdom of sages to check arrogance. Despite the existence of the Samsa (Three Offices) system, it was not easy to restrain arrogance and misjudgments."

Floor leader Joo sharply criticized, "Looking at recent state affairs management, it seems that the Democratic Party leadership under President Moon Jae-in at the Blue House should attend such special lectures. Arrogance and misjudgments are significant." He emphasized, "Neither organizations nor individuals should fall into arrogance and misjudgments."

Lee Jong-bae, chairman of the Policy Committee who hosted the seminar, also said, "We must be cautious not to fall into misjudgments," and criticized, "Leaders full of conviction, politics, and people who think only they are right, as well as unchecked powers, are prone to arrogance and dogmatism. The current old-fashioned behavior of the Blue House and the Democratic Party is exactly that."
