[Asia Economy Reporters Lee Ji-eun and Lim Chun-han] Kim Jong-in, Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, criticized on the 14th regarding the 'military service preferential treatment allegations' involving the son of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, saying, "Our country is currently fighting two viruses: the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and unfairness," and added, "Under the Moon Jae-in administration, the Minister of Justice has become a super-spreader of the unfairness virus."

At the Emergency Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Chairman Kim said, "The former Minister of Justice touched a nerve of public sentiment with issues related to education, and the current Minister of Justice is doing so with unfair preferential treatment in military service," and added, "The sense of loss of fairness among the youth is spreading widely as a result."

He pointed out, "The ruling party is talking about sole perpetrators and accomplices, even revealing the real name of the young person who reported the emperor-like military leave obtained through 'mom chance' (using one's mother’s influence)," and said, "Instead of resolving the situation, they are pouring fuel on the anger of public sentiment."

He continued, "There is a very strong voice of criticism that the government and ruling party have been collectively infected by the unfairness virus," and added, "The fallacy that 'if others do it, it's cheating and privilege, but if we do it, it's fairness' has become normalized, turning the government into a monster regime that does not fear the people."

Chairman Kim said, "The final destination of the unfair preferential treatment controversy is the President. Trying to just cover up this incident is a mindset that disregards the people and aims to defeat them," and added, "The President must clearly state his position and handle the Justice Minister in accordance with the public’s expectations."
