[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju Province, criticized Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province, saying he is "truly shameless" and "someone who throws everything away as soon as things seem unfavorable."

On the 4th, Won mentioned this on his Facebook, referring to the first joint debate of the Democratic Party presidential primary held the previous day. He said, "(Governor Lee) was asked to explain about basic income, essential villa items, and discrimination against Yeongnam Station during the debate, and he smiled while saying, 'I haven't made any campaign promises at all, don't nitpick my words, it's a misunderstanding.'"

He continued, "The person who attaches the name 'basic' to everything like basic income and basic housing is denying his own words without batting an eye, claiming he never promised basic income," and pointed out, "This is on a different level from just lying."

Earlier, during the debate, when other candidates criticized basic income, Lee said, "I haven't made a single campaign promise yet," and "Basic income is an issue of great interest, but I can't call it my number one pledge." This led to criticism suggesting that Lee might have changed his stance on basic income, which he had promoted as his policy brand until now.

Won criticized, "It is truly absurd when someone talks as if well-known facts are completely untrue," adding, "It seems to have gone beyond lying, hypocrisy, and duplicity." He also said, "It seems to have reached a level where common sense doesn't apply, and I can understand why actress Kim Bu-seon is so upset."

He added, "Lee is someone who uses everything as soon as it seems advantageous," and "He says anything, proposes any policy, distorts history by selectively quoting it, and throws everything away as soon as things seem unfavorable." Won further criticized Lee, saying, "He is a typical figure who does whatever is advantageous and discards whatever is disadvantageous, swallowing the sweet and spitting out the bitter."

Won concluded his post by saying, "Former President Moon Jae-in, gripped by fear after leaving office, must be losing sleep," and "As Rep. Park Yong-jin said, it is a great regret of all time that the Supreme Court spared Lee Jae-myung, a duplicitous and unstable politician."
