[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Kim Tae-nyeon, Acting Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party's Seoul mayoral candidate, on the 24th by referring to his attendance at the Taegeukgi rallies in 2019, calling him an "extreme right-wing politician surpassing an MB avatar."


At the Central Election Countermeasures Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Acting Leader Kim said, "Oh appears to have a moderate image, but seeing his speech at the Taegeukgi Unit rally in October 2019, he is an extreme right-wing politician."


He added, "Oh attended the Taegeukgi Unit rally led by Pastor Jeon Kwang-hoon and made outrageous and hateful remarks against President Moon Jae-in, calling him a dictator, a severe dementia patient, and a crazy president, which are difficult to even utter," and said, "I hope people take the opportunity to watch that YouTube video."


Acting Leader Kim pointed out, "Oh Se-hoon, who kicked away children's lunch bowls with free school meals and resigned midway, claims to have reflected for ten years, but I don't know what he has reflected on," and said, "We can see that he has fallen into an extreme right-wing politician armed with hatred and hostility, embraced by the Taegeukgi."


He continued, "The image of a rational conservative is just a disguise to deceive the public," and raised his voice, saying, "In reality, Oh's identity is an extreme right-wing politician who denies the spirit of the candlelight protests and is desperate to rescue former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye by joining hands with the Taegeukgi Unit."


He said, "Oh's candidacy for mayor itself is an act of insulting Seoul citizens and a direct challenge to the spirit of the candlelight protests," and expressed concern, saying, "With the emergence of extreme right-wing politician Oh Se-hoon, the mad Taegeukgi Unit's street theater in Gwanghwamun is already worrying."



He added, "It is a time when the action of awakened citizens to prevent the resurgence of the forces behind the state affairs manipulation is desperately needed. A person who incites personal insults against the president should not become the mayor of Seoul," and appealed for support for candidate Park Young-sun, saying, "The mayor Seoul needs now is someone who cooperates well with the central government to overcome COVID-19 and focuses on restoring people's livelihoods."
