[Asia Economy Reporter Jumi Lee] Former Democratic Party lawmaker Geum Tae-seop criticized a netizen who insulted his mother, saying, "Do Moonbbaes call other people's mothers 'that mother'?"

On the 12th, former lawmaker Geum said on his Facebook, "I don't mind, but apologizing to my mother is the least courtesy," expressing his stance.

Earlier, when Geum posted a photo with his mother, who celebrated her 80th birthday, a netizen commented, "That mother probably doesn't even know how shameful she is? What kind of monster seed did she give birth to?"

In response, Geum rebutted, "Don't you have parents? How can you say such things?"

He then attached a screenshot of the comment and posted a message titled "To those so-called Moonbbaes and Daekkaemuns."

He criticized, "When you take an interest in politics, sometimes emotions run high, but you should not post such comments on someone else's parent's 80th birthday," calling it "an act of spitting on one's own face."

He added, "When I was in the Democratic Party, I repeatedly told the leadership and leaders that they should step in to restrain such behavior, but no one did, and they let it go, which led to this situation."

Meanwhile, former lawmaker Geum, who left the Democratic Party, supported Oh Se-hoon, the People Power Party candidate, after losing the unification race for Seoul mayor against Ahn Cheol-soo, the People Party leader, in the April 7 by-election. Recently, he expressed no intention to participate in opposition party unification and hinted at founding a third-party base.
