[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] Kim Geun-sik, the head of the People Power Party's Songpa-byeong district in Seoul, claimed that "President Moon Jae-in, who should protect and safeguard the people of the Republic of Korea, must respond to the grief of his young son."

On the 6th, Professor Kim wrote on his Facebook, "The young son of the public official who was innocently killed in the West Sea in 2020 is swallowing his tears and expressing a blood-stained cry word by word," stating this.

He also said, "During the Sewol ferry incident, Representative Moon Jae-in participated in a hunger strike with Yumin's father to investigate the truth about the innocent students who died," adding, "The lives of the Sewol students and the public official who was killed are no different. The Moon Jae-in of 2014 and the Moon Jae-in of 2020 should not be different."

He then pointed out, "Why does Moon Jae-in, who empathized with, mourned, and was angry about the sorrow of the Sewol ferry, not mourn or get angry about the unjust death of the public official?" and "Why does he not empathize with the grief and cries of the young son who suddenly lost his father?" He continued, "Why does he keep repeating the unresponsive inter-Korean joint investigation and neglect even the duties the president should perform, passing time without recovering the body, punishing those responsible, or uncovering the truth?"

Earlier, Lee Rae-jin (55), the elder brother of the public official belonging to the West Sea Fisheries Guidance Management Unit under the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries who died from a North Korean military shooting, revealed on SNS a handwritten letter from his nephew to President Moon on the 5th.

The letter contained a request for a truth investigation regarding the father's death, stating, "Even if the protagonist of this pain were your child or grandchild, could you act as you do now?" and "Who created the current situation where the body has not even been found? What was this country doing when dad was brutally killed? I want to ask why dad was not protected."
