[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 17th, the United Future Party criticized Kim Won-woong, president of the Gwangbokhoe, regarding his Liberation Day commemorative speech on 'cleansing pro-Japanese collaborators,' saying, "He closed his eyes to the historical fact that almost all of the Republic of Korea's first president and first cabinet were independence activists, and Kim's historical conclusion, which slandered them as pro-Japanese collaborators, was a great man theory of Kim Jong-un."


Choi Hyung-doo, the United Future Party floor spokesperson, said in a commentary on the same day, "To belittle the late General Paik Sun-yup, he insisted that the victory at the Dabudong Battle was due to the U.S. military's artillery, but how can he refute the evaluation of the U.S. military's top leadership and the White House, who praised General Paik as the greatest war hero?"


Spokesperson Choi added, "Are the members of the Democratic Party of Korea who have come out to defend President Kim also agreeing with Kim Won-woong's view of history? Should the national anthem be changed?" He pointed out, "Poor historical awareness and biased history only regress the Republic of Korea into a feudal monarchy with three generations of hereditary succession like North Korea and make it a country that succumbs to the North Korean nuclear threat."



Spokesperson Choi said, "What kind of country does the Moon Jae-in administration dream of?" and added, "Now it is time for the president to answer."
