[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 25th, Kim Ki-hyun, a member of the People Power Party, expressed concern over the current situation where the Democratic Party of Korea is boycotting the president's policy speech in protest of the party headquarters' search and seizure, saying, "I worry that they might be thinking abnormally because they have become prisoners of the 'Gaeddal' (devoted female supporters of Lee Jae-myung)."

In a radio interview that day, Rep. Kim said, "Isn't it the duty of a member of the National Assembly to review the budget as mandated by the people? When the budget is presented as 'This is how we drafted the budget,' and they say they won't listen, it means they don't care about people's livelihoods but only care about protecting Lee Jae-myung. I really can't understand that," he stated.

He continued, "(The Democratic Party) has completely become a personal faction of Lee Jae-myung (leader of the Democratic Party of Korea), and the core members of this faction are known as 'Gaeddal,' right?" He explained, "That's why I said they have become prisoners of the Gaeddal."

Regarding the search and seizure of the party headquarters, he said, "It happened at the party headquarters, and our party has also experienced search and seizure before," adding, "This time, the office was located inside the party headquarters, but rather than searching the party headquarters itself, it was the personal office of Vice Chairman Kim Yong that was searched."

He added, "I don't think it is something to be overly defended as a search of the party headquarters," and said, "Seeing Lee Jae-myung's tearful appearance in the news, I thought, 'Ah, truly a master of transformation. A super chameleon.'"

Rep. Kim emphasized that the only way for Lee to escape the current situation is to confess. He said, "If 1) escape, 2) denial, and 3) mobilizing support don't work, the last and only option is 4) confession, asking for forgiveness and leniency."
