[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Seoyoung] Amid the buzz on various social networking services (SNS) surrounding Shin Yong-jin, Vice Chairman of Shinsegae Group's so-called 'Myeolgong' remarks, former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won also joined the trend.

On the 8th, former lawmaker Na posted several photos on her Facebook that looked like grocery shopping, adding, "Tonight at the mart, anchovies, yak-kong, Jayusigan, and even late-night snack soup tteokbokki." The photos showed Na purchasing anchovies, yak-kong, and the chocolate bar 'Jayusigan,' among other items.

She then wrote, "'I hate communists' would only be controversial in communist countries," adding "Myeolgong" and "Freedom." This is interpreted as a response to the various controversies sparked by Vice Chairman Shin posting a photo of a hangover cure on his SNS with the hashtag #Myeolgong and the phrase "I will survive until the end."

Earlier that day, Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, also posted photos on his SNS showing him shopping at a large mart in Sadang-dong, Dongjak-gu, Seoul, with hashtags like "egg," "green onion," "anchovy," and "bean." When asked by reporters at the Seoul Arts Center whether the post was related to Vice Chairman Shin, he smiled and replied, "It's close to home, and I had no morning schedule for the first time in a while. The dogs' snacks ran out, so I went to buy various things to eat."

Additionally, Kim Jin-tae, former lawmaker and chairman of the People Power Party's Lee Jae-myung Corruption National Verification Special Committee, wrote on Facebook that day, "It seems noisy because Vice Chairman Shin said 'Myeolgong,'" adding, "Candidate Yoon bought eggs, green onions, anchovies, and beans at the mart. Moonpa Myeolgong." Kim Yeon-ju, the People Power Party's full-time deputy spokesperson, posted a video that evening showing her purchasing eggs, green onions, anchovies, and beans at a nearby large mart, writing, "Weekend is Dalpa Myeolgong."
