[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Byung-wook, a member of the People Power Party and co-representative of the youth faction within the party, Youth People Power, stated, "Due to the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union (Jeon-gyo-jo), the Moon Jae-in administration could not carry out educational reform," adding, "Only by overcoming the activist 86 generation can there be a future for the youth and children."

On the 24th, Kim posted on his Facebook, linking an opinion piece from a morning newspaper, saying, "If the Moon Jae-in administration had devoted even 1/100 of the effort it put into so-called 'prosecutorial reform' to 'educational reform,' there would have been more praise than criticism from the public as there is now."

The opinion piece pointed out that while real-time online classes have been established not only in private schools but also in regular academies, many public elementary schools still only conduct one 40-minute real-time interactive class per week.

Kim criticized, "If the sword of educational reform is drawn, the 'our side' Jeon-gyo-jo would inevitably be hurt as the 'target of reform,' so the Moon Jae-in administration could not possibly carry out 'educational reform.' The future for the youth and children lies beyond the super-power activist 86 generation that controls politics, labor unions, civic groups, and even schools."
