Sangmin Lee: "Party Meeting Conclusion Empty... Actions Against Jaemyung Lee and Blind Followers Must Precede"

Lee Sang-min, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized the resolution issued at the previous day's 'Reform Members' Meeting' as "hollow" and raised his voice that measures against Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader, and his "blind followers" must be prioritized.

On the 15th, Lee posted on his social media (SNS), "The Democratic Party's resolution to 'undertake reflection and reform with the determination of reestablishing the party' is not only unanticipated but also hollow. If you want to reestablish the party, shouldn't the existing structure be removed?" he criticized the resolution of the members' meeting.

The Democratic Party held a closed-door reform members' meeting for about six hours from 4 p.m. the previous day, engaging in free discussions on the money envelope allegations and Representative Kim Nam-guk's coin issue. Afterward, they announced a resolution stating, "After today's members' meeting, we promise to undertake fundamental reflection and full-scale reform with the determination of reestablishing the party. We will be evaluated by the public based on sincere reflection and reform results."

However, Lee said, "Reestablishing the party while keeping the existing framework intact is a kind of evasion and deception," and pointed out, "If they say they will reform, who exactly is the subject and who is the target?"

Within the Democratic Party, there is growing responsibility discourse regarding the money envelope allegations and Representative Kim's coin issue directed at Leader Lee. Reports also emerged that the previous day's reform members' meeting mentioned Leader Lee's position and even the resignation of the leadership. Lee's remark about the 'subject of reform' is also interpreted as targeting Leader Lee and the leadership.

He said, "If the target of reform steps up as the subject, will it be effective? It's absurd," adding, "For the resolution to be sincere and effective, measures against Leader Lee and his blind followers, who are the existing structure and the target of reform, must be prioritized."
