[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Kim Taeheum, a member of the People Power Party, harshly criticized Lee Junseok, the party leader, saying, "How long must we endure your immature, arrogant, and irresponsible behavior? Please abandon your frivolous words and actions and return to your rightful position to take the lead in the great cause of regime change."


On the 27th, Kim issued a statement saying, "I have held back for a long time, but now I must speak. As a senior in life and politics, though I may be flawed and lacking from living long, I dare to offer sincere advice."


He added, "Stop playing the role of Zhuge Liang while talking about a silk pouch, and quickly break free from the arrogance that you alone are the center of the world and the only one who is right. How should we view your irresponsibility of running away before the launch of the election committee, throwing away the position of election committee chairman because of disagreements with the public relations director, and your frivolity in disparaging the party and dissing the candidate within hours?"


He continued, "The position of party leader is not a place to act like a panelist or commentator; it carries infinite responsibility. It is a grave duty to unite diverse opinions and discord within the party and lead the party well toward the goal of regime change. How should we understand a party leader who constantly causes internal strife but acts like a gentle willow toward the ruling party?"



He concluded, "The current situation is not so leisurely. If you have time to sulk, as a young leader, stop just talking about the 2030 generation and instead present a future vision and solutions that reflect their concerns. If you have time to appear on broadcasts acting like a commentator, try creating at least one policy or slogan that embodies the people's aspirations and the mission of the times."
