Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min criticized the appointment of Lee Rae-kyung, honorary director of Other Hundred Years who advocates the 'Cheonan ship self-destruction theory,' as the Innovation Committee Chair of the Democratic Party, saying, "The Democratic Party is finally heading down the path of self-destruction."


On the 5th, Yoo posted on his social media, "On March 26, 2010, the Cheonan ship was sunk by a torpedo attack from a North Korean submarine, and 46+1 South Korean Navy personnel sacrificed their lives in the waters off Baengnyeongdo. The person who denies this historical fact and advocates the Cheonan ship 'self-destruction theory' is the Innovation Committee Chair of the Democratic Party," he pointed out.

He raised his voice, saying, "Despite the corruption allegations against Lee Jae-myung (leader), Song Young-gil (former leader), and Kim Nam-guk (lawmaker), seeing such a person appointed as Innovation Committee Chair, it seems the Democratic Party has decided to destroy itself. Not an Innovation Chair, but a Self-Destruction Chair."



He added, "Seeing the ruling party in the National Assembly unable to escape the swamp of corruption and anti-history makes me truly worried about the future of our politics. The Democratic Party must clearly disclose to the public what they were thinking in making this appointment and their stance on the Cheonan ship self-destruction theory. Corrupt and anti-historical figures must be permanently expelled from our politics for it to be properly established."
