[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker considered one of the ruling party's anti-Yoon (非尹) faction presidential candidates, directly criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol for not convening the National Security Council (NSC) despite the incursion of a North Korean drone.

On the 27th, Yoo posted on his social media, "On the day North Korea's drone violated South Korea's airspace, the NSC was not convened," adding, "They say it wasn't convened because they were responding in real-time, but even if a war breaks out, will they not convene the NSC because they are responding in real-time?"

He stated, "Yesterday, President Yoon's schedule included bringing his newly adopted dog to the office on his way to work and having a year-end dinner with the chairpersons of the four major local councils. Other than that, nothing has been disclosed to the public about what the president did or said regarding the North Korean drone's airspace violation," and questioned, "Is it acceptable for the commander-in-chief of the armed forces to act like this?"

He continued, "We barely achieved a regime change, yet is the conservative camp this incompetent in security?" and urged, "The president and the military must immediately establish countermeasures to repel any provocations from the North, including drones, at an early stage."

Recently, Yoo Seung-min has continued sharp criticism of President Yoon through social media and broadcast appearances. The day before, on SBS's 'Joo Young-jin's News Briefing,' he raised his voice, saying, "Please stop petty politics and engage in magnanimous politics."
