[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] On the 7th, the United Future Party harshly criticized the resignation of key Blue House aides, including Presidential Chief of Staff Noh Young-min, calling it a "showy scapegoating to roughly avoid the crisis."

Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the United Future Party, said in a verbal statement that day, "The people who should bear the greatest responsibility for the failure of state affairs are missing."

Earlier, Chief of Staff Noh and five senior secretaries belonging to the Secretariat (Kang Ki-jung, Senior Secretary for Political Affairs; Yoon Do-han, Senior Secretary for Public Communication; Kim Jo-won, Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs; Kim Geo-seong, Senior Secretary for Civil Society; Kim Oe-sook, Senior Secretary for Personnel) expressed their intention to resign, taking comprehensive responsibility for the recent situation.

Spokesperson Kim said, "Of all people, those who became the subject of criticism due to a lack of empathy, such as the notion that 'men don't understand real estate well,' are involved," adding, "'Gangnam two houses' Kim Jo-won ultimately chose 'houses' over 'position,' and Kim Oe-sook, who said she could not become a one-house owner because the house she put up for sale did not sell, will, whether unfortunate or fortunate, remain a multi-home owner."

He continued, "Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Kim Hyun-mi and Policy Chief Kim Sang-jo, who trapped the people with real estate mismanagement, Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, who led the collapse of democracy and the rule of law, and Han Sang-hyuk, Chairman of the Korea Communications Commission, who undermined broadcasting neutrality, should show responsibility themselves," raising his voice.

Spokesperson Kim warned, "Do not try to overcome the unfavorable situation by replacing just a few people," and added, "Personnel changes that dilute responsibility are unacceptable before the suffering people."
