[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Regarding Rep. Joo Ho-young of the People Power Party stating that "North Korea ordered the shooting of a public official with a 7.62 rifle (North Korean military rifle)," and the ruling party's criticism of the 'disclosure of intelligence assets,' the People Power Party has expressed opposition, saying, "They remain silent toward North Korea but are fiercely critical of the opposition."

Choi Hyung-doo, the spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 5th, "The Janus-faced behavior of the ruling party and the Ministry of National Defense is truly a spectacle."

Spokesperson Choi pointed out, "They remain silent about North Korea's brutal acts of shooting and burning our citizens at sea, but they are jumping up and down over the opposition's '7.62' criticism, calling it a disclosure of intelligence assets. The People Power Party has rather pointed out that the Blue House and ruling party officials have been exposing and distorting intelligence assets while making excuses for President Moon's 47 hours."

He added, "We do not expect more," and criticized, "The ruling party, which blindly lights a fire in their eyes whenever it is the opposition, should respond as firmly and fiercely to the opposition as they do, and firmly correct North Korea's bad habits."
