Kim Ki-hyun: "Even if the North pours a flood of water bombs, 'North Korea's one-sided love'... Hold them accountable and demand an apology"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Gi-hyeon, a member of the Future United Party, fiercely criticized the government's plan to provide $10 million (12 billion KRW) in aid to North Korea despite North Korea's unilateral dam discharge, calling it "absurd North Korean infatuation."

On the 7th, Kim said on Facebook, "Even though North Korea blew up the inter-Korean joint liaison office and poured a flood of water threatening the lives and safety of our people, this administration's absurd infatuation with North Korea shows no sign of cooling."

He criticized, "North Korea's release of water without any prior notice is a kind of terrorism and atrocity," adding, "Although North Korea agreed to notify us in advance when discharging the Hwanggang Dam, they quietly opened the sluice gates without even a word of apology or explanation."

He continued, "This is a clear violation of inter-Korean agreements and an inhumane act against the same ethnic group," and added, "We must hold North Korea accountable and demand an apology along with a promise to prevent recurrence."

Kim pointed out, "Despite the fact that residents in northern Gyeonggi areas such as Yeoncheon and Paju suffered significant damage due to North Korea's unauthorized discharge from the Hwanggang Dam upstream of the Imjin River, the President and the Minister of Unification are worrying about North Korean residents first," and said, "Absurdly, they approved 12 billion KRW in aid to North Korea during this unprecedented flood crisis."

He questioned, "They are even considering approving inter-Korean barter trade of water on a civilian level, which is truly shocking," and asked, "How many of our citizens must suffer because of North Korea before they come to their senses?"
