[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party criticized Kang Hoon-sik, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, who was caught playing games during the National Assembly audit, saying, "He seems to think the audit hall is just a playground for playing games."

Hwang Gyu-hwan, deputy spokesperson of the People Power Party, said in a verbal comment on the 22nd, "This clearly reveals the Democratic Party's attitude toward this audit."

Deputy Spokesperson Hwang pointed out, "They have 176 seats and yet they take the audit lightly, treating the audit hall as if it were a playground for games. There is even a joke going around that Kang, who held a forum last year to promote the game industry, loves games so much that he personally demonstrated it in the audit hall."

He criticized, "If someone who served as the party's chief spokesperson behaves like this, it is unlikely that other lawmakers are any different. Since this was a comprehensive audit of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy dealing with serious issues such as the audit results that undermined the independence of the Board of Audit and Inspection due to pressure from the administration regarding the nuclear phase-out policy, Kang's attitude deserves even more criticism."

Hwang Gyu-hwan said, "In the past, Choi Jae-sung, the Democratic Party's senior secretary for political affairs, was also criticized for playing games during a party meeting while serving as a lawmaker. How much do they really take the National Assembly seriously for such incidents to repeat?" He added, "Kang, who ridiculed the National Assembly, should immediately apologize to the people, and the Democratic Party should take appropriate measures against him."
