[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Future United Party (now People Power Party) lawmaker Ianju Lee criticized Kim Doo-kwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 30th, saying he is "suffering from presidential syndrome and distorting the will of the people."

On the same day, Lee wrote on his Facebook, "The people are supporting Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, but I don't know which 'people' this refers to," expressing his opinion.

He claimed, "Are only the blindly pro-Moon Jae-in (친문, Chinmun) people considered the public? The majority of the people are now worried after witnessing the Yoon Seok-youl and Choo Mi-ae incident. Everyone I meet raises their voice saying they find Choo Mi-ae disgusting."

He continued, "The Democratic Party has always strategically chosen presidential candidates from PK (Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam)," adding, "But currently, there is no suitable PK candidate in the Democratic Party. Jo Guk is in a state where recovery is practically impossible due to the uproar over the Jo Guk incident last year, and Kim Kyung-soo is in a similar state because of the Druking case."

Lee said, "Perhaps because of this, Kim sometimes makes absurd remarks these days, seemingly trying hard to please the pro-Moon faction," sarcastically adding, "Well, in the Democratic Party, passing the primary is easier if you just please the pro-Moon forces."

Kim Doo-kwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, is questioning at the National Assembly's Planning and Finance Committee's audit of the Daegu Regional Tax Office and the Bank of Korea Daegu-Gyeongbuk and Pohang Headquarters held on the 20th of last month at the Bank of Korea Daegu-Gyeongbuk Headquarters in Dongin-dong, Jung-gu, Daegu.

He then said, "Still, Kim was once called the 'Little Roh Moo-hyun' and received attention. But seeing him bowing his head to power like this is pathetic," and criticized, "Does he want to rise as a presidential candidate that badly? Does he think he will be called by the times by unconditionally supporting Choo Mi-ae, who is leading the destruction of the spirit of democracy without reading the true will of the people?"

Former lawmaker Lee also urged, "I call on the self-proclaimed democratization forces within the Democratic Party and those who talk about the so-called Roh Moo-hyun spirit," raising his voice, "Please stop the election engineering calculations right in front of you. Wake up and either break up the party or leave it."

Earlier, Kim said on his Facebook the day before, "Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl must step down immediately," criticizing, "Yoon failed to be loyal to the state and the public. He was loyal to himself and the prosecution organization. Yoon spied on the judiciary and investigated the president's nuclear power policy. He gave up being the prosecution of the state and democracy."

He added, "The prosecution republic must end with Yoon's departure. Since his inauguration, Yoon has only been obsessed with 'prosecution politics' attacking the president," and said, "The Ministry of Justice's inspection and suspension of duties are only natural. A disciplinary committee should be held according to law and principles to dismiss him. Naturally, I support Minister Choo together with the people."
