Hong Joon-pyo: "Kim Nam-guk with a messy backyard blames others' front yards"

Hong Jun-pyo, the mayor of Daegu, criticized lawmaker Kim Nam-guk, who disappeared after leaving the Democratic Party of Korea amid suspicions of multi-billion won cryptocurrency transactions, saying, "The Kim Nam-guk incident is a clear example showing that a person with a messy backyard should not blame someone else's front yard."

On the 25th, Mayor Hong said through his social media (SNS), "People whose conduct is not clean should not take on the role of snipers or attackers."

This appears to refer to Kim, who, despite engaging in cryptocurrency trading, claimed that real estate owners should be "regulated so strongly that it makes you wonder if this place is really North Korea," thus calling himself a 'real estate sniper.' On the same day, Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, also pointed out on SNS, "Those who unconditionally attacked multi-homeowners are not the people but the Democratic Party. Among them, the worst was Kim Nam-guk."

Mayor Hong questioned, "How many people with conduct and mindsets that should never have become public officials or politicians have we seen so far pretending to be public officials or politicians while manipulating state affairs?" He added, "I hope this will be sorted out. The current reality where people involved in corruption and scandals manipulate the country using the parliamentary immunity of lawmakers as a shield is a great misfortune for the Republic of Korea."
