[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, mocked Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, for his remark about exempting the preliminary feasibility study for the Gadeokdo New Airport.

On the 16th, Leader Song wrote on his Facebook, "Yesterday, Candidate Yoon said in Busan, 'I will boldly exempt the preliminary feasibility study (PFS) for the Gadeokdo New Airport.'" He added, "But what can we do? The special law exempting the PFS for the Gadeokdo New Airport already passed the National Assembly last year," attaching hashtags such as '#YoonSeok-yeol'sDailyBlunder', '#GadeokdoNewAirport', and '#Busan'.

Earlier, Kim Doo-kwan, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, also posted a similar message on his Facebook. Kim said, "The People Power Party, which used to tell the presidential candidates to just act well, now can't even get the script right, which is really a big problem," adding, "My face is burning with embarrassment," and questioned, "Is it the actor's problem or the script's problem?"

Kim wrote, "The fact that the Gadeokdo New Airport law already includes a provision exempting the PFS is something anyone with even a little interest in Gadeokdo would know immediately," and added, "The Moon Jae-in administration already made it possible to exempt the PFS, which is why we said we would create a new era in the Southeast region through the Gadeokdo New Airport." He pointed out, "Candidate Yoon spoke so boldly that I thought I was mistaken and even checked the law."

Referring to Article 7 of the law on the construction and support of the Gadeokdo New Airport, which includes a special provision on conducting the preliminary feasibility study, Kim criticized, "At this point, both the actor and the script are problematic, so I hope you deeply reconsider whether you should even invite scriptwriter Kim Jong-in." He concluded his post by saying, "Leader, please stop playing 'acting games' alone on YouTube and at least review the candidate's script."
