[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 17th, the United Future Party criticized Kim Won-woong, president of the Liberation Association, regarding his Liberation Day commemorative speech on 'cleansing pro-Japanese collaborators,' saying, "We believe Kim's remarks, which turned the nation's Liberation Day into a cauldron of division, have intentional motives," and asked, "What does President Moon Jae-in's silence mean?"

Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the United Future Party, stated in a commentary that day, "Kim, who participated in the Yushin regime, cooperated with the Chun Doo-hwan military regime, and later praised Chairman Kim Jong-un as a great man under the Moon Jae-in administration before becoming president of the Liberation Association," and added, "Immediately after his remarks, the Democratic Party of Korea eagerly echoed him. They are trying to hold a ritual of hatred and offer this country again on the altar of political strife."

Spokesperson Kim said, "When his history of collaboration was exposed, Kim claimed it was unavoidable for livelihood reasons. A 'livelihood excuse' is not appropriate for someone who should lead the proud history of Korea's liberation," and stated, "The prolongation and excuses of a 'political turncoat' must never be repeated, for the sake of the era of Joseon’s suffering and the independence activists who resisted Japanese colonial rule."

Spokesperson Kim added, "Now the president must respond. Will you again overlook the agitator who only stirs up historical wounds to fuel national division with silent complicity?" and said, "With the nation exhausted by COVID-19 and real estate issues, are you going to push the country once more into the smoke of conflict? History is not a sacrifice for politics."
