[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon, Intern Reporter Kim Seul-gi] Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said that the United Future Party blaming the responsibility for the recent Gwanghwamun rally on the Taegeukgi faction and other far-right figures made "only lawmaker Min Kyung-wook look pitiful."

On the 27th, Jeong posted on his Facebook, "I do not agree with former lawmaker Min's usual claims, but from his perspective, it is understandable that he is furious about what he sees as a betrayal by the United Future Party."

He said, "They were once friends and comrades, but now they are being framed as far-right forces and ostracized. When criticism against them intensifies, the party tries to distance itself and push them away, so it is natural to feel betrayed."

He added, "Regardless of political camps, comradeship means sharing the rain when it rains. I believe the United Future Party lacks even this kind of human loyalty. It's mean."

He continued, "From the perspective of former lawmaker Min, who has had all the umbrellas taken away and is getting drenched in the rain, it is understandable that he would curse, and in that sense, the United Future Party deserves criticism."

Earlier, on the 26th, former lawmaker Min posted on his Facebook, "Kim Jong-in and Ha Tae-kyung, who came into the party from wherever they were rolling around, call me far-right. To you leftists, I must look like that," and strongly criticized, "The genuine right-wing United Future Party members must look soft."
