[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Ju-hee] Kim Geun-sik, the head of the People Power Party's Songpa-byeong district in Seoul, criticized Yoon Gun-young, a member of the Democratic Party, on the 30th for accusing the opposition of "criticizing President Moon Jae-in's silence while telling former President Roh Moo-hyun to remain silent in the past," saying, "This is the level of logic from someone who claims to be the president's close aide."

On the same day, Kim posted on his Facebook, "Yoon Gun-young suddenly says to remain silent about Roh Moo-hyun while criticizing Moon Jae-in's silence.

Thinking this is an attack on the opposition itself is a national treasure-level delusion," he said.

Kim added, "At this point, it's not an attack on the opposition but a self-deprecating joke," and pointed out, "The opposition criticizes the president, who talks too much and suffers from all kinds of controversies, to watch his words, and criticizes the president who consistently remains silent on key political issues to not cowardly hide."

He continued, "The absurd tactic of summoning the talkative Roh Moo-hyun to defend the silent Moon Jae-in only brings a hollow laugh," and sarcastically said, "While the whole country is in chaos and uproar, I somewhat understand the logic of President Moon, who hides tightly behind statements about the moon. 'You told Roh Moo-hyun to be quiet, so why are you only targeting me?'"

Earlier, on the 29th, Yoon posted on his Facebook, "(The opposition) criticizes the president's 'silence,' but in the past said, 'If the president speaks, 40 million people suffer, and if the president is silent, the people are comfortable,'" and pointed out, "They poured all kinds of harsh criticism whenever President Roh Moo-hyun said anything."

He added, "Those who attacked the president's words like that are now pouring harsh criticism on the president's silence. Which beat should we dance to?" and questioned, "Have your thoughts on the president's governance changed over the years?"

Yoon also criticized, "They criticize the president for being silent, but from the start, the People Power Party has no interest in the president's 'intentions,'" and said, "Their real goal is to 'drag the president into politics and write a melodrama.' The language attacking the president has changed, but the method remains the same. The world has changed, but the opposition's vile attacks remain unchanged."
