[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Jeong Cheong-rae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, rebutted Kim Jong-in, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, who criticized the government's COVID-19 quarantine measures, saying, "How can one keep up with your fickle rhythm as if porridge is boiling?"

On the 14th, Jeong posted on his Facebook under the title "Kim Jong-in's Lack of Conscience," pointing out, "What exactly do you want us to do?"

Jeong said, "(The opposition) praises K-quarantine when it works well, saying, 'What did the Moon Jae-in government do? It's because the people did well.' But when the COVID-19 situation worsens, they demand 'President Moon apologize.' Despite WHO recommendations, they kept insisting it was the Wuhan pneumonia day and night, like frogs in a well," sharply criticizing.

Earlier, Kim Jong-in criticized at the emergency committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, saying, "The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases exceeded 1,000 last Sunday," and "I think the government's proud K-quarantine has now almost reached its limit."

Kim continued, "President Moon and the government should sincerely apologize for the failure of K-quarantine and focus national power on securing vaccines, whether through diplomatic cooperation with allied countries or early negotiations with third-party vaccine development pharmaceutical companies." He added, "The People Power Party will focus on uncovering various issues and the truth surrounding vaccine procurement."

Meanwhile, on the same day, the People Power Party displayed the phrase "Vaccine Comes First" on the backdrop at the National Assembly meeting hall where the emergency committee meeting was held. This is interpreted as a parody of President Moon's slogan "People Come First," criticizing the government's COVID-19 vaccine procurement measures.
