[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, criticized the live broadcast of North Korea's military parade, saying, "How can they broadcast a large-scale live coverage of a military parade showcasing the war capabilities of a real enemy country, as if they had been waiting for it, without even protesting to North Korea? Is this sane?"

On the 11th, Kim said on Facebook, "During the Hangeul Day holiday, when we should be reflecting on King Sejong's 'spirit of loving the people,' I never imagined we would see a sudden video of Kim Jong-un's 'Great People's Long Live'."

He added, "At a time when the entire nation is refraining from travel and outings as part of social distancing, what is the meaning of a full live broadcast of North Korea's military parade during the weekend prime time?" He continued, "How can they broadcast a large-scale live coverage of a military parade showcasing the war capabilities of the most threatening real enemy country, as if they had been waiting for it? Is this sane?"

Kim said, "I cannot shake the suspicion that this broadcast was intentionally aimed at subtly supporting the Moon Jae-in administration's declaration of the end of the war," adding, "There is great public concern that our president might be deeply moved, praising Kim Jong-un's hypocritical tears and the illusory love for the people as if it were a great blessing."

He continued, "I heard that a considerable amount of money will be paid to North Korea as copyright fees because of this broadcast, so for North Korea, it is a win-win situation," and pointed out, "It seems that the day is not far off when Kim Jong-un will be praised as a king who rises beyond an enlightened monarch to the rank of a sage king."
