Jang Kyung-tae: "I Don't Want to Be Associated with Someone Who Wrote a Night Story"

Jang Kyung-tae, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, recently fainted during a protest visit to the Korea Communications Commission, sparking a verbal spat between the ruling and opposition parties.

Jang Ye-chan, the youngest Supreme Council member of the People Power Party, raised suspicions that Representative Jang staged a "fainting show." In response, Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party, criticized it as a "disgraceful act," escalating the conflict. Supreme Council member Jang fired back, saying, "The encyclopedia of disgraceful acts is Lee," refusing to back down.

On the 15th, Supreme Council member Jang stated at the People Power Party Supreme Council meeting, "Representative Jang Kyung-tae has emerged as the new head of a fake news factory. There are suspicions that he staged a planned fainting show yesterday while wearing a knee brace," adding, "Representative Jang claims that 'wearing a knee brace makes sitting cross-legged impossible' and is threatening legal action."

He continued, "So I came wearing a knee brace. I will now go forward and show you that sitting cross-legged is possible," performing the cross-legged sitting pose himself as a demonstration.

In response, on the 16th, Lee Jae-myung strongly criticized Supreme Council member Jang at the Supreme Council meeting, saying, "Hearing claims like 'Was it a show?' and 'He was wearing a knee brace' made me question whether they have any basic human decency. It is truly a disgraceful act."

Supreme Council member Jang then posted a rebuttal on Facebook. He said, "It seems the Democratic Party is flustered because I wore a knee brace and sat cross-legged," adding, "I only proved that Representative Jang's own statement that 'you cannot sit cross-legged while wearing a knee brace' is false."

He went on to mention controversies involving Lee, such as his sister-in-law insult scandal, his son's illegal gambling, and prostitution allegations, asking, "Does Lee, the encyclopedia of disgraceful acts, even have the right to utter the word 'disgraceful'?"

In response to Supreme Council member Jang's allegations, Representative Jang said in an SBS radio interview that day, "Supreme Council member Jang used to write erotic novels. I don't really want to get involved."
