[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] On the 8th, Kim Nam-guk, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, apologized for posting a large poster criticizing Representative Hong Young-pyo on Hong's office door and asked supporters to respect those with differing opinions.

Kim, classified as pro-Myeong (pro-Lee Jae-myung faction), said through social media (SNS) on the same day, "I felt regretful and sorry when I saw the news that a large poster was posted on Representative Hong's office," adding, "I am endlessly grateful to the many supporters who love and cheer for Representative Lee Jae-myung. However, this is not a proper way to express support."

He continued, "As you well know, Representative Lee is a warm person with a broad heart," and added, "I hope our supporters also embrace others more broadly and warmly."

Kim said, "We are comrades who have all worked hard together," and stressed, "To rise again after this defeat, we must never take the path of distrust and conflict." He added, "We must unite more strongly and move toward integration," and said, "I hope there will be no discrimination or attacks just because of differing opinions."

He said, "United we stand," and added, "If there are disagreements, it would be good to have a respectful heart and freely debate." Kim requested, "It would be good to embrace those with different opinions with even more respect. I hope we treat each other more politely and honorably," and earnestly asked, "I sincerely ask our supporters to do so."
