[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Cho Su-jin, the spokesperson for the People Power Party's election campaign committee, criticized Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party candidate, who dyed his hair black, saying, "No matter how much a person's transformation is innocent, is it also innocent for a porn actor to disguise himself as a pure actor?"


On the 25th, Cho posted on her Facebook under the title "Regarding Lee Jae-myung candidate's flashy transformation," saying, "Lee Jae-myung candidate has been bowing deeply every day, crying tears from both eyes, admitting his mistakes," and made these remarks.


She continued, "Are Lee Jae-myung candidate's tears a liquid of genuine emotion, or remnants of polluted hypocrisy?" and criticized, "The common-sense citizens are only bewildered."


Cho also pointed out, "It is said that Lee Jae-myung candidate spent 89 million won solely on image consulting, including creating gray hair," and added, "I don't think the 'common people' he emphasizes can understand this."


Furthermore, Cho stated, "If he truly repents for his 'past,' he should first confess and apologize for the Daejang-dong and Baekhyeon-dong corruption gates involving the plundering of trillions of won from the people, the suspicion of tens of billions of won in lawyer fee payments, and the attempt to forcibly hospitalize his older brother in a psychiatric hospital, and then resign from the candidacy."



Meanwhile, Lee appeared in public for the first time in 1 year and 8 months with black-dyed hair. Since March last year, he had maintained white hair. However, recently, emphasizing himself as a "50s presidential candidate," he decided to change his hair color, judging that image renewal was necessary.
