[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Former lawmaker Na Kyung-won, who is running for the leadership of the People Power Party, warned another candidate, former Supreme Council member Lee Jun-seok, to "stop the politics of hatred," accusing him of politically exploiting "Idaenam (men in their 20s)."


On the 1st, Na posted on her Facebook, "The reason President Trump faced fierce criticism was because he politically exploited the anger of a specific group by turning it into hatred," adding, "The target that candidate Lee Jun-seok politically exploited was none other than Idaenam."


She continued, "Although the targets are different, the pattern is very similar," and pointed out, "Concerns about Lee Jun-seok's politics of hatred are therefore growing."



Na also said, "The people are already tired of the division and polarization under the Moon Jae-in administration," and added, "Politics that only gains politically by exploiting another anger but does little to actually solve the problem goes against the party's renewal, change, and innovation."
