[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Kim Ki-hyun, the floor leader of the People Power Party, strongly criticized Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung's remark "Shall I pull down my pants?" as "embarrassing and low-class."

At the floor strategy meeting on the 6th, Floor Leader Kim stated, "This was said by a prominent presidential candidate during the ruling party's presidential candidate selection debate," adding, "I am even embarrassed to quote it as it is."

Lee Jae-myung, a presidential candidate from the Democratic Party of Korea, said during the second preliminary primary TV debate held the previous day, when asked to explain the 'actress scandal,' "Shall I pull down my pants once more?"

Regarding this, Floor Leader Kim pointed out, "It was an embarrassingly low-level, disgraceful debate that makes the sarcastic label 'sexual harassment specialist party' seem almost undeserved," and criticized, "It clearly showed the descendants of the Moon Jae-in administration, intoxicated with power and indifferent to the people."

He also criticized the overall content of the Democratic Party's debate. Floor Leader Kim said, "It is absurd to challenge the presidency with cowardly politics that cannot admit mistakes. The Democratic Party has not changed since the recent by-elections," adding, "They say with their mouths that they want to change, but in reality, they are busy watching out for the 'Ddakgae-moon' faction and lining up for power. It is regrettable that the public's sighs grow deeper toward the ruling party, which shamelessly caused a scandal by saying they would take off their pants and refuses to change policies."
