[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Hwang Kyo-ahn, former leader of the United Future Party (predecessor of the People Power Party), criticized the government's response to COVID-19, saying, "It would be great if we could catch and kill the coronavirus, but instead, innocent citizens are suffering to the point of death."

On the 22nd, Hwang posted on his Facebook, stating, "The Moon Jae-in administration's K-quarantine is a Kill quarantine," criticizing the response.

He introduced a book titled "There Is No COVID Chronicle K-Quarantine", saying, "'Jingbirok' is a book that was written by Ryu Seong-ryong, who led Joseon during the Imjin War, reflecting on the past and preparing for the future by recording the causes, progress, damages, and mistakes of the war after stepping down from office."

He continued, "This book is named Jingbirok with the purpose of recording both the successes and failures, as well as mistakes of K-quarantine, so that the same errors are not repeated if such a situation arises again."

He explained, "At first, the title was going to be 'The Glory and Shame of K-Quarantine,' covering both the good and bad aspects of K-quarantine, but as the manuscript progressed, it was found that the faults, problems, failures, and humiliations of K-quarantine were too great, leading to the provocative and self-deprecating title 'There Is No K-Quarantine.'"

Hwang argued, "The quarantine pass policy, which treats unvaccinated individuals as if they are coronavirus carriers and even prevents them from entering restaurants, now makes it so that if you do not comply with the government's orders, you cannot eat or buy anything," calling it "a blatant sign that a dictatorship era using COVID fear has arrived."

He said, "The authors of this book are people struggling to restore the deadly Kill-quarantine into a proud Korea quarantine that saves lives," and added, "I want to call the medical staff who are sweating and working hard at this very moment in unseen places to save lives true heroes who love Korea and care for the people."

He concluded, "South Korea's health and medical policies must prioritize the health and freedom of the people. They must not become tools of control. A free and healthy Korea is a top-tier, normal country."
