The People Power Party criticized the sympathy expressed within the Democratic Party of Korea regarding former leader Song Young-gil in connection with the 'party convention money envelope scandal,' asking, "Are you in your right mind?"


On the 23rd, Lee Min-chan, the full-time deputy spokesperson of the People Power Party, pointed out, "Members of the Democratic Party are pouring out words toward former leader Song," adding, "Phrases like 'Go alone like a rhinoceros horn,' 'Truly a great vessel, Song Young-gil,' and 'A person with little greed' are embarrassing just to hear."


Earlier, Kim Min-seok, the policy chief of the Democratic Party, stated on social media (SNS) that he "guarantees that former leader Song is a person with little greed, though calling him ascetic might be an exaggeration." Nam Young-hee, the regional chairperson of Incheon Michuhol-eul, mentioned, "Watching Song's press conference, the phrase 'Go alone like a rhinoceros horn' came to mind."

The spokesperson criticized, "Does the Democratic Party mistakenly think former leader Song Young-gil is some kind of independence activist?" He added, "It is ridiculous to see them defending Song Young-gil, who leisurely strolled through Paris, France, even after turning South Korea into chaos with the party convention money envelope distribution scandal."



He further stated, "Is this why the ‘Gaeddal’ supporters backing leader Lee Jae-myung are running rampant?" He pointed out, "Gaeddal are reportedly sharing Song’s return flight details within their community, saying they will accompany him so that his return journey is not lonely." The spokesperson advised, "This is why the phrase ‘Lee-sim Song-sim’ (Lee’s mind, Song’s mind) is being used. If the apology to the public regarding the party convention money envelope scandal is sincere, leader Lee should restrain Democratic Party lawmakers and Gaeddal supporters immediately."
