[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Broadcaster Kim Eo-jun was criticized by Bae Jin-kyo, floor leader of the Justice Party, who called Kim's so-called 'psychological analysis' of Justice Party presidential candidate Sim Sang-jung on his YouTube broadcast "nothing short of a blatant eulogy."


On the afternoon of the 22nd, Floor Leader Bae posted on his Facebook a message titled, "If Kim Eo-jun does not clearly apologize for his biased broadcast, I will no longer appear on any broadcasts hosted by Kim Eo-jun," expressing his criticism.


Floor Leader Bae continued, "Last Friday, Kim Eo-jun conducted a biased broadcast full of insults and defamation against our party’s candidate Sim Sang-jung through his YouTube show 'Das Bweida.' Not only did he crudely weave past events into baseless speculation, but he also claimed that the reason for not unifying the candidates was due to psychological issues, among other disparaging remarks aimed at the presidential election."


He further pointed out, "Moreover, looking at the broadcasts over the past four weeks, it is clear that all presidential candidates except Lee Jae-myung were portrayed as having psychological problems. It is nothing short of a blatant eulogy."


Regarding the Democratic Party of Korea, Floor Leader Bae said, "They should be ashamed," adding, "Is outsourcing personal attacks a campaign strategy? They should deeply consider what makes them better than the People Power Party, which coexists with conservative YouTubers."


He then stated, "I am boycotting Kim Eo-jun’s broadcasts and demanding a clear apology."


Meanwhile, on the 19th, Kim uploaded a video on his YouTube channel 'Kim Eo-jun’s Das Bweida' featuring social psychologist Kim Tae-hyung, co-author of '2021·2022 Lee Jae-myung Theory' and director of the social psychology institute 'Hamkke.' In the video, Kim Tae-hyung commented on candidate Sim’s psychology, saying, "Looking into her childhood, Sim is the youngest daughter among two sons and two daughters. She was in a position at home where she might be treated as 'Who are you?'" He added, "Also, Sim’s family had severe gender discrimination. Her brothers received special treatment such as studying in Seoul and private tutoring, while Sim was almost neglected at home."
