Kim Dong-yeon: "If the Dokdo Issue Was Raised at the Korea-Japan Summit, It Would Be a Shocking Matter"

"This Korea-Japan Summit is a Diplomatic Disaster for History"
"President Yoon Was Treated Like Omurice and Became the 'Eul' Himself"
"This Summit Is Like a Succession of the 'Kim Jong-pil-Ohira Secret Agreement'"
"No Apology from the War Criminal State, No Compensation from War Criminal Companies"

Governor Kim Dong-yeon of Gyeonggi Province posted a message and photo on his SNS on the 17th.

Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon harshly criticized the recent Korea-Japan summit as a diplomatic disaster that will be recorded in history.

On the 17th, Governor Kim posted on his social media under the title "A 3-Nothing Summit Without People, National Interest, or National Dignity," stating, "This Korea-Japan summit is a diplomatic disaster that will be recorded in history," and criticized, "We paid an extremely high price just for the meeting between the leaders."

He continued, "Instead of resolving issues such as the people's pride, the non-formalization of the third-party compensation for forced mobilization, and the abandonment of claims for reimbursement, it created 'the beginning of another conflict,'" pointing out, "Because there was neither an apology from the perpetrator war crime state nor compensation from the war crime companies."

In particular, he said, "If it is true, as the Japanese government claims, that even Dokdo was brought up at the summit table, it is truly shocking," adding, "It is a grave issue that warrants walking out at that moment, and clear fact-finding is necessary regarding the differing claims made by both governments about whether this was actually mentioned."

Furthermore, he advised, "(The Korea-Japan leaders) say they want to move toward the future," but "You cannot just cover up the past and move forward; you must not forget the past and must unravel the knots of resolution before moving on."

He also added, "This summit is not a 'Kim Dae-jung?Obuchi Declaration' but rather a succession of the 'Kim Jong-pil?Ohira Secret Agreement,'" and said, "President Yoon Seok-yeol was treated to omurice with great hospitality but threw away the people's pride."

Governor Kim lamented, "Now the Republic of Korea is an advanced country that is not behind Japan," and said, "We are advancing beyond Japan not only in morality and culture but also in economy, industry, and international norms, so it is truly shameful for the President of Korea to voluntarily become the eternal 'Eul' (subordinate) to Japan."
