[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kim Nayeon] After receiving a six-month suspension of party membership rights from the People Power Party Ethics Committee, Representative Lee Jun-seok, who has been traveling nationwide to meet party members, shared the song "Someday" from the Disney animation "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" on his SNS.

On the 29th, Lee shared the song on Facebook, writing, "Disney songs always have a message," and added, "Dedicated to the people of that soulless island."

The song's lyrics include lines such as "When the years pass and that day comes, you will know," "On the victorious day, everyone will go outside and bask in the sunlight, and if dark clouds cover it, wait for the bright new day when the sun rises."

The "island" Lee referred to is understood to mean Yeouido, and analysts interpret this as a veiled criticism of the People Power Party and political figures using the song's lyrics.

Earlier, on the 27th, Lee also posted a message mentioning "that island" following the release of Telegram messages exchanged between President Yoon Seok-yeol and Kwon Seong-dong, the acting party leader and floor leader.

At that time, while visiting Ulleungdo, Lee wrote, "On that island, when the cameras disappear, people open their eyes wide and shout, but when the cameras come in, they come to shake hands with a half-moon smile. They hang a sheep's head in front but receive and sell dog meat from gangsters behind. This island is honest as it shows everything as it is. Thank you, Ulleungdo."

This post expresses the four-character idiom "Yangdu Guyuk" (羊頭狗肉), meaning "a flashy exterior but poor substance." "That island" refers to Yeouido, and "this island" refers to Ulleungdo.

Meanwhile, on the same day, Supreme Council member Bae Hyun-jin resigned, stating, "The ruling party has failed to meet the public's expectations." Subsequently, 32 first-term lawmakers of the People Power Party delivered a petition to the party leadership demanding the transition of the current leadership system, effectively run under Acting Leader Kwon's "one-top system," to an emergency committee system.
