[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and presidential pre-candidate of the People Power Party, criticized Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, regarding his disaster relief fund policy.

On the 30th, Yoo posted on his Facebook titled "Candidate Lee Jae-myung, if you have money saved from the Daejang-dong gate, please use it." Yoo said, "Candidate Lee made money through the restaurant quota system and now proposes giving 1 million won per person as a nationwide disaster relief fund," adding, "Would he spend money so recklessly if it were his own?"

He pointed out, "The idea of giving 1 million won to all citizens regardless of wealth or income disparity is utterly irresponsible," and "If such a candidate becomes president, the nation's treasury will be emptied in an instant." He continued, "He acts like this because it's not his own money," and "As in Gyeonggi Province, he is trying to gain votes with taxpayers' money."

Yoo emphasized, "Electing a president who spends taxpayers' money recklessly will ruin the national economy," and "A candidate who only thinks about spending money without thinking about earning it cannot revive the economy." He appealed for support, saying, "At this very moment when Korea desperately needs an economic president, the choice is Yoo Seung-min."
