[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 29th, Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, criticized Shin Dong-geun, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, for saying regarding the North Korean shooting incident of the missing public official from Yeonpyeong Island, "Defection to the North is a serious anti-state crime, so it is actively prevented until the border crossing, and if it continues, shooting is also carried out," stating, "It seems he wants to say that we should be thankful that North Korea is shooting them instead of our military."


On the same day, Ha said on Facebook, "He clearly revealed the government's and ruling party's true intention of pushing the narrative of defection to the North."


Ha questioned, "Did President Moon Jae-in not demand the return of remains or punishment of North Korean officials because he was thankful that serious criminals were killed?" He added, "This administration should at least feel sorry for failing to protect its citizens and letting them die, but instead, it is busy turning those citizens into criminals. This is the same method used in making the military officer on duty a criminal in the case of Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's son."



Ha stated, "The pro-Moon power elite protect their own children to the end, while branding the Gabunggae (literally crayfish, crucian carp, frog ? a derogatory term for common people) citizens as criminals; this is the ruling method of this administration."
