[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] Yoon Hee-sook, a member of the People Power Party, criticized Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate and Governor of Gyeonggi Province, for apologizing over the 'Coupang logistics center fire response controversy,' calling it "not an apology but an apology show that conceals the real wrongdoing."

On the 21st, Yoon posted on her Facebook titled "Governor Lee Jae-myung, what you should do now is not apologize but go home," stating this. She criticized, "Governor Lee's apology is an apology show" and "He did not say a single word about the Tteokbokki eating broadcast."

Earlier, when it was revealed that Governor Lee left the scene of the Coupang logistics center fire in Icheon, Gyeonggi Province, last June to film a 'Tteokbokki eating broadcast' with food columnist Hwang Kyo-ik, causing controversy, he apologized saying, "I thought I did my best, but the criticism that I should have canceled all schedules immediately and gone to the site sooner is correct."

In response, Yoon said, "The people are not criticizing that he did not arrive at the scene early," and pointed out, "It is not a matter of schedule but a matter of character, not a misjudgment but a problem of basic moral sense." She emphasized, "It is an abnormal humanity and a pathological obsession with power that can film an eating broadcast while people are dying."

Additionally, Yoon questioned, "Meanwhile, he exploited the Sewol Ferry tragedy for seven years like that, and wrote a farewell speech desperately praying for the safe return of fire victims," asking, "Is there even a single moment in 24 hours that is not a false show?"

She added, "Governor Lee has exposed to the public that he completely lacks the basic qualities and qualifications to become a leader of this country," and "The way to ease the public's anxiety and bring peace is to immediately relinquish the governor's authority and the presidential candidacy and go home."
