[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 16th, the United Future Party stated regarding Kim Won-woong, president of the Liberation Association's Liberation Day commemorative speech, "Controversy surrounding President Kim has not ceased," and demanded, "Resign immediately."


United Future Party spokesperson Bae Jun-young said in a commentary on the same day, "Yesterday, in his Liberation Day commemorative speech, he referred to the first provisional government president only by name, denied the national anthem of the Republic of Korea, the Aegukga, and made an outrageous claim to exhume graves at the National Cemetery."


Spokesperson Bae added, "It is highly doubtful whether the content he mentioned leads national unity or represents the will of the members," and stated, "Kim, who is privatizing the spiritual home of the Korean independence movement, must resign immediately."



Spokesperson Bae also asked ruling party figures who sympathize with yesterday’s divisiveness, "Do you want to return to the severe conflicts of 75 years ago? Liberation Day has been wounded."
