[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Criticism from the ruling party continues daily over the Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung's description of the prosecution's summons investigation as a 'war.'

On the 3rd, Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, posted on his Facebook, "The true face of Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader who repeatedly deceived and lied to the people, is beginning to be revealed," adding, "Until now, Lee Jae-myung has excused the change of Baekhyeon-dong's natural green area in Seongnam City to a residential area by blaming pressure from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport during the Park Geun-hye administration in national audits and interviews, but the official document released that day stated that 'it is a matter for Seongnam City to decide.'

Kim said, "Not only did the Democratic Party nominate a presidential candidate with four prior convictions, but they also elected 'Kkado-bi,' whose corruption allegations keep emerging no matter how much you peel back, as the leader of the main opposition party. It is only logical to 'Bonggo-pa-jik' Lee Jae-myung before it gets any later," adding, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. No matter how thick and strong the bulletproof vest protecting Lee Jae-myung is, the sword of justice seeking the truth will never be able to block it." He also said, "Lee Jae-myung's enemy is Lee Jae-myung himself."

Assemblyman Cho Hae-jin also posted on Facebook the previous day, warning, "If there are no charges, actively use 100% of the opportunity provided by the prosecution to explain yourself now," and "Do not drag the party into personal issues and hold the government hostage."

Assemblyman Yoon Sang-hyun also mocked, saying, "From the beginning, their behavior of not considering the prosecution's investigation as a procedure to uncover truth and justice but solely using it as political oppression is tantamount to confessing," adding, "It literally means seeing only what you want to see."
