Park Ji-hyun: "Yoo Si-min, Slave to the System of Hostile Coexistence"

Yoo Si-min Criticizes Park Ji-hyun and Jo Geum-bakhae in Op-Ed
Park: "My Criticism of the Democratic Party Is 'Affection,' Not 'Love-Hate'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Juhee] Park Jihyun, former Emergency Committee Chairperson of the Democratic Party of Korea, targeted Yoo Si-min, former director of the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, on the 23rd, stating, "It's somewhat regrettable, but it is the biggest disease in our country's politics. I wonder if he has become a slave to a system of hostile coexistence."

In an interview with KBS Radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strongest Current Affairs' on the same day, Park responded to Yoo's recent critical article in the media by saying, "(Yoo's claims) are factually incorrect and logically inconsistent."

Park emphasized that her criticism of the party is not out of 'love-hate' but 'affection,' saying, "The Democratic Party currently lacks the power to change, but there are many good people. I will still remain in the Democratic Party and will be a party member unless expelled."

She then addressed Yoo, saying, "It's better to criticize whether my words are right or wrong, rather than whether pro-Yoon media accepted them or not," and added, "I hope Yoo takes a step back and supports young people so they can engage in new politics."

Earlier, Yoo contributed consecutive articles titled 'Why Are Park Jihyun and Jo-geum-bak-hae (Assemblymen Cho Eung-cheon, Geum Tae-seop, Park Yong-jin, Kim Hae-young) Like That?' and 'Why Are Jo-geum-bak-hae Like That 2' to the online media Mindulle.

These articles contained Yoo's views on Park Jihyun and the Jo-geum-bak-hae assemblymen's criticisms of the party. In the articles, Yoo criticized Park as "merely a noisy politician in the media."
