[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Woo-seok] Go Min-jung, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, sharply criticized President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol on the 24th, saying, "Don't do politics by looking at President Moon Jae-in, but do politics by looking at the people."

On the same day, Go posted on her Facebook, "There is a problem with President-elect Yoon's perception that the appointment of the Bank of Korea governor is not urgent in the rapidly changing international economic situation," criticizing him.

She pointed out, "Isn't President-elect Yoon anxious and impatient because public opinion about the relocation of the Yongsan presidential office and the transition team has worsened?"

She continued, "If President-elect Yoon has the intention of a smooth transition of power, he should directly express his will," adding, "(The opposing voices) are not against the relocation of the Blue House itself but are pointing out issues of poor communication and security."

Earlier that day, Go also responded to a remark by Kwon Seong-dong, a member of the People Power Party, who said, "President Moon also pledged to relocate the Blue House, but when he actually went, it was too sweet, so he gave up," by saying, "Did Kwon Seong-dong enjoy a sweet life at the Blue House during Lee Myung-bak's presidency? Or did former President Lee Myung-bak say that life at the Blue House was sweet?" She rebutted, "The life of the president and Blue House secretaries that I remember was filled with continuous hard work from dawn to late at night, whether on holidays or weekdays, with hardly any sweet memories."

She added, "I am not absolutely opposed to the relocation of the Blue House," and criticized President-elect Yoon, saying, "Before calling the expression of concerns about security gaps 'disruption,' please discuss countermeasures. Instead of just hanging banners that say 'We will heed the will of the people,' please listen to the voices of the people."
