At a National Assembly audit countermeasure meeting held on the 1st, Floor Leader Kim criticized Governor Lee, saying, "It is hard to see this behavior as that of someone aspiring to be president; it is petty."
He said, "Verification of Governor Lee's morality, ability, and qualifications is the natural duty of the opposition party," adding, "In this audit, with the authority entrusted by the people, we will expose Governor Lee's hypocrisy and falsehoods."
He continued, mocking Governor Lee as a "lawsuit king" for filing complaints against the reporter who first raised the Daejang-dong scandal and even a professor who commented on articles related to the Daejang-dong scandal.
He also brought up the scandal involving Governor Lee and actress Kim Bu-seon, saying, "Despite filing lawsuits and complaints so frequently, Governor Lee has not filed a lawsuit against this actress's public criticism of him," adding, "She even appeared on a variety show and said she has no moles on her body, yet Governor Lee has not sued her, which is quite an unusual situation."
Recently, Floor Leader Kim and Governor Lee exchanged heated words over the Daejang-dong development preferential treatment allegations. On the 29th of last month, at an urgent discussion on 'Issues and Improvement Measures of the Development Profit Recovery System' held at the Central Veterans Hall in Yeouido, Governor Lee expressed sharp remarks toward People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok and Floor Leader Kim.
Governor Lee said, "Floor Leader Kim, before Chuseok, seemed to think that Representative Kwak Sang-do might have received bribes using his son's name," adding, "In addition to dismissal and dismissal from office for corruption, I will have him confined to an island in Antarctica with a fence around his residence."

In response, Floor Leader Kim retorted at an urgent briefing on current issues held at the National Assembly that day, "He (Governor Lee) does not seem to be a leader with normal thinking," adding, "Before running for president, he should first take care of his character and common sense."

He continued, "Recently, looking at Governor Lee, it seems like he is declaring that he will become a tyrant if he becomes president," adding, "I feel chills from Governor Lee's barrage of reckless remarks." He then directly attacked, "Governor Lee has been causing public concern by hurling unspeakable and indescribable insults at his sister-in-law, and his usual words and attitude seem to be revealed once again in a very blatant manner."
