[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party raised their voices, saying "President Moon Jae-in must respond" to the letter from the son of the public official who was killed in the Yeonpyeong Island shelling incident.

Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 6th, "It has been almost two weeks since our citizen was brutally killed by North Korean soldiers, but no one in the Moon Jae-in administration wants to mention that senseless death," expressing this view.

Spokesperson Kim pointed out, "On the contrary, they praise Kim Jong-un as an 'enlightened monarch' while pushing forward with North Korea tourism and the declaration of the end of the war," and added, "To our citizen, a father of two children and an ordinary head of a household, they even went so far as to empty his debts at financial institutions and slander him as 'defecting to the North due to heavy debt.'"

He criticized, "His high school son wrote a letter to the president," and said, "We all read it with the feeling of being the parents of those children. Although they are citizens of the Republic of Korea who deserve protection, the government slanders the father of two children as a defector to the North for the sake of a meager handful of power, stabbing the bereaved family's heart."

Spokesperson Kim said, "Would you act like this if it were the president's own child?" and pointed out, "If even a tenth of the effort to save Minister Choo Mi-ae's son had been made, the people would not be this heartbroken."
