[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] Lee Jun-seok, a candidate for the People Power Party leadership, criticized Na Kyung-won, another candidate, on the 1st, who said that Lee's support increased by causing "gender conflict," telling her, "Don't burn down the whole house by lumping together the support base."


Na appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' on the same day and said, "Lee has been causing gender conflict fueled by the anger of young men in their 20s at Ewha Womans University for a month, which increased his recognition," adding, "What is Trumpism? It is the politics of division and hatred, where the anger of white lower-class workers was redirected into hatred against immigrants to gain power."


Lee responded to Na's remarks, saying, "I think it is wrong to compare the active support of men in their 20s and 30s for the People Power Party to the anger of white lower-class workers," and questioned, "Who did the 20s and 30s support base hate?"



He continued, "If such gaffes continue, the 20s and 30s support base will leave," and added, "I hope she corrects her statement."
