[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Woo Sang-ho, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, warned the People Power Party, which demands the disclosure of presidential records from the Moon Jae-in administration regarding the West Sea government official killing incident on the 24th, saying, "We will not avoid it," and "They should be prepared to be evaluated by the public."

At a meeting with reporters that day, Chairman Woo said, "What exactly do they hope to gain by constantly clinging to the former president?" and added, "I find it hard to agree that this kind of governance approach is the attitude the ruling party should take."

He said, "If they insist on using data disclosure to stir up political strife, there is no reason not to formally request it from a principled standpoint," but also asked, "Will such behavior receive a good evaluation from the public?"

Chairman Woo said, "The current appearance of the ruling party is deplorable," and added, "The public will judge whether this kind of political strife provocation and the strategic intention to divert public interest away from livelihood issues to other matters is appropriate." He continued, "We will not avoid it. Anyway, if they ask for any data, we will provide it all," and said, "They should be prepared to be evaluated by the public for such an attitude."

Chairman Woo said, "If they are the ruling party, they should act like one and take responsibility seriously for national governance," and added, "The attitude of constantly trying to create excuses to attack the former president in various ways is not desirable."
