[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Woo-seok] Kim Hyun-chul, Distinguished Professor at Dongguk University Graduate School of Media and Information and son of the late former President Kim Young-sam, sharply criticized the Democratic Party and the Blue House, saying, "It is naturally the duty and responsibility of the loser to help the new government settle in." He was criticizing the recent confrontation between the ruling party and the Blue House over President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's plan to relocate the presidential office to Yongsan.

On the 22nd, Professor Kim posted on his Facebook, "Seeing the Blue House and the Democratic Party, who, despite losing the election, are not reflecting on the evils they committed over the past five years but are only throwing tantrums and vicious insults like hooligans, it is simply horrifying that such a terrible group was entrusted with this precious country for five years," he said.

He continued, "More than anything else, the President-elect is trying to keep his promise to the people by ending the era of the Blue House, which was a symbol of a closed and uncommunicative imperial presidency, and opening a true era of communication by returning the Blue House to the people. He himself is stepping out into a more open space and is making special efforts to communicate not only with his aides but also with the media and the public," defending President-elect Yoon.

He added, "The President-elect's side should also carefully review whether anything has been neglected due to the tight schedule and show a full commitment to urgent issues including the COVID-19 situation and other livelihood problems so that the public can feel reassured," and said, "This is a country we have regained, a normal and reasonable society we have restored, so now isn't it time for us to truly cherish and nurture it?"
