[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Former Minsaengdang leader Kim Jeong-hwa targeted Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate, and his wife Kim Hye-kyung, saying, "Stop deceiving the public with immature love play." Some interpret this as criticism of the couple's ongoing public appearances, such as visiting markets together.


On the 12th, Kim posted on her Facebook, calling them "a couple embodying complete falsehood and hypocrisy" and asked, "Have they now decided to engage in 'marital love play'?"


Kim sharply criticized, "The unprecedented 'ugly play' for power is heartbreaking. Has there ever been a politician couple this talkative and problematic? Coarse language, messy scandals, crude agitation. Aren't you ashamed before the people?"


She added, "Every day is the height of shameless cosplay for the candidate," and said, "There is no room to laugh."

Later that afternoon, Kim posted another message criticizing Lee for his remarks against Yoon Seok-youl, the People Power Party presidential candidate, accusing him of 'drunken politics.' She said, "Really, are you asking because you don't know? The difference between the one who held the steering wheel and the one who didn't. The difference between the drunken quarrelers and those who are not. The difference between those who caused accidents after drinking and those who did not."


Previously, on the 11th, Lee criticized Yoon on his Twitter by sharing an article that described Yoon overcoming political crises through drinking gatherings, asking, "What if Lee Jae-myung drank like that?"



The article analyzed, "Since declaring his presidential candidacy, Yoon has shown not only physical closeness with political figures but also used drinking gatherings to overcome political crises. These gatherings allow candid conversations and display a friendly image, serving as a medium to attract and build his own supporters."
