[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] Kim Geun-sik, the head of the People Power Party's Songpa-byeong district committee, criticized the government's and ruling party's COVID-19 measures and the control of the Gaecheonjeol rallies as "Corona Nam-bul" (hypocrisy regarding COVID-19).

On the 3rd, Kim Geun-sik posted on his Facebook, "Does COVID-19 only affect the opposition party and anti-government protesters, but not the Moon Jae-in administration and the ruling party?" and said, "This is the height of hypocrisy, Corona Nam-bul."

He continued, "They told the public to refrain from visiting ancestral graves, yet Representative Lee Nak-yeon paid respects at Bongha Village," pointing out the contradiction.

Regarding the Gaecheonjeol rallies, he criticized, "It is okay for people to gather at tourist spots during the Chuseok vacation, but the Gwanghwamun rally was blocked by vehicle barricades due to COVID-19," and added, "Taxi lines waiting for passengers at Seoul Station remain, but anti-government vehicle protests are limited to fewer than nine vehicles."

Meanwhile, on the 3rd, the government banned rallies around Gwanghwamun by setting up vehicle barricades in response to Gaecheonjeol rallies held by some conservative groups.

Regarding this, former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon and People Power Party lawmaker Park Dae-chul harshly criticized it, calling Gwanghwamun "the Jaein Fortress."
