[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min criticized President Yoon Suk-yeol's reprimand of the police regarding the 'Itaewon Halloween disaster,' saying, "Legally, it may be correct, but it is wrong from a human, ethical, and national perspective."

On the 8th, Yoo posted on Facebook, "Yesterday, I watched a 30-minute video of President Yoon criticizing the police during a national safety system inspection meeting," and made this statement.

He said, "(The president) said, 'Responsibility should be clearly asked of the person responsible, not vaguely telling everyone to take responsibility. That is impossible in modern society,'" and criticized, "The president's words are the language and thoughts of a prosecutor."

He added, "The Yongsan Police Chief, Yongsan Fire Chief, and Yongsan District Mayor have all been booked," and said, "If responsibility is only asked of Yongsan, why does the Republic of Korea exist? It makes us question the reason for the nation's existence."
