[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's move to propose the '586 (50s, 80s university entrants, born in the 60s) retirement' card, saying, "It is difficult to have any significant meaning unless Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate, steps down."

On the 25th, Heo Eun-ah, the senior spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a commentary, "What meaning does the Democratic Party's 586 retirement have unless candidate Lee steps down?"

Heo pointed out, "Currently, the Democratic Party's 586 politicians are considered representative stagnant figures in Korean politics," adding, "They hold vested interests, possessing both wealth and power, yet they still act like young student activists while vocally calling for reform, showing the peak of this sense of incongruity."

He also criticized, "Candidate Lee embodies the contradictions shown by the Democratic Party's 586 politicians so far," saying, "He committed illegal acts under the guise of public interest activities for the weak, justifying and rationalizing them as if they were honors. He packaged himself as a self-made man, but in reality, he drew public distrust over his character by spewing unreasonable abusive language and insults amid family conflicts." He added, "Crucially, he designed the Daejang-dong gate and was also pointed out as the top of the corruption, repeating the 586's failure formula of 'incompetence or corruption.'"

Heo senior spokesperson emphasized, "Whether a few 586 politicians step down or not, if candidate Lee is elected, the Democratic Party's 586 double standards regime will be born again without change," and stressed, "What the Democratic Party truly needs to embrace generations is not the retirement of the 586, but the retirement of candidate Lee."
