[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Kim Ki-hyun, former floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized Park Hong-geun, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, for calling the bipartisan agreement that the People Power Party would take the chairmanship of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee in the second half of the term an "overreach," calling his remarks unreasonable on the 9th.

Former floor leader Kim stated through social media (SNS) on the same day, "The Democratic Party's sophistry and tyranny have gone far beyond limits," and pointed out, "At the Democratic Party's emergency countermeasure meeting, Floor Leader Park reiterated the agreement between the former floor leaders of both parties that the People Power Party would take the chairmanship of the Legislation and Judiciary Committee in the second half of the 21st National Assembly, claiming it was a 'political agreement beyond authority' at the time, making yet another unreasonable assertion."

He added, "It is one thing to indulge such stubbornness once or twice, but at this point, it seems like treatment is needed," and criticized, "If we follow Floor Leader Park's words, then Yoon Ho-jung, the current emergency committee member of the Democratic Party who made the agreement at the time, made an unauthorized agreement and fabricated false documents."

Former floor leader Kim said, "Shouldn't Emergency Committee Member Yoon be held responsible immediately for fabricating false documents and resign?" and questioned, "What about the Democratic Party's party meeting that ratified the agreement at the time?" He also noted, "The agreement was drafted through mediation by National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seok, and the Speaker attended as a joint guarantor of the agreement and even took photos together," adding, "The succeeding floor leader is embarrassing the Speaker and former floor leader Yoon Ho-jung by making all sorts of sophistries about their political decisions, but shouldn't the Speaker and Yoon, then floor leader of the Democratic Party, say that this should not be done?"

Former floor leader Kim proposed, "I suggest a final debate to determine whose words are correct," and said, "Since the Democratic Party's party meeting ratified it, all Democratic Party lawmakers are welcome to come out. I will go alone."
