'Kim Eo-jun Humility is Difficult News Factory' Appearance
"Can't Change Heavy Rain Situation? Serious Statement"

Woo Sang-ho, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, described a remark by a presidential office official that "even if the president rushes to Seoul, it would not significantly change the situation of the heavy rain" as "a very serious statement."

On the 17th, Woo said on the YouTube channel 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility is Difficult News Factory,' "When a national disaster occurs, it is appropriate to cancel existing schedules and return home, but instead, a new schedule was created and the president suddenly visited Ukraine," adding, "Looking at cases of other heads of state, they usually seek understanding to cancel most of their existing schedules and return home in such situations."

Woo also criticized First Lady Kim Keon-hee, who accompanied President Yoon on his overseas trip, for visiting a luxury store in Lithuania.

He said, "There is a vicious cycle where explanations cause more controversy after causing trouble abroad," and added, "This is an issue that should be cleanly apologized for to the public and ended, but they are trying to cover it up again with lies."

Regarding this, Maeil Business Newspaper reported on the 14th that a key presidential office official explained that "First Lady Kim did not intend to enter the store, but was solicited by someone at the store." An official statement from the presidential office has not yet been released.

Woo expressed skepticism about the explanation from the presidential office official, saying, "Which luxury store in the world engages in solicitation?" and called it "an explanation that is not even an explanation."

He added, "The First Lady's schedule is also organized as a major state protocol schedule, so the very fact that she went to that street is problematic."
