[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 30th, the People’s Party criticized, “The subject that President Moon Jae-in should understand and embrace is not the assertive nuclear-armed state North Korea, but our people.”

People’s Party spokesperson Ahn Hye-jin said in a commentary on the same day, “We never believe that the peaceful unification that all citizens aspire to can be forged by crushing our own pride into humiliation.”

Spokesperson Ahn emphasized, “The reason our youth willingly endure military service for a country that is in a standoff with North Korea during their prime years is because they expect a president full of resolute determination who will never forgive anyone who harms even a single hair on a citizen’s body. Protecting this country rightly is the highest cause and justification.”

Ahn added, “A world where the unimaginable privileges enjoyed by the son of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae as an ordinary soldier are taken for granted, where forces that criticize rather than sympathize are branded as deep-rooted evils and democracy is slaughtered politically?this is not the world the president dreamed of. We hope he will restore the foundation of a blessed Republic of Korea where fairness and justice, which have always been proclaimed only in words, live and breathe.”

Spokesperson Ahn said, “We sincerely hope that President Moon, at least during this Chuseok holiday, will not be surrounded by second or third Choi Soon-sils, but will deeply contemplate the path of national salvation rather than begging toward North Korea, the path of an economic powerhouse rather than economic collapse, and the path of national unity rather than division.”
