Kim Byung-min "Lee Jun-seok's YouTube 'Yeouido Reconstruction Association?' Please focus on Sanggye-dong Reconstruction"

Former leader Lee Jun-seok created a personal YouTube channel named 'Yeouido Reconstruction Association,' prompting Kim Byung-min, a Supreme Council member of the People Power Party, to criticize him by saying, "I wish he would take more interest in the reconstruction of Sanggye-dong, his own constituency."

On the 31st, during SBS's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show,' Supreme Council member Kim said, "We need to see whether the focus is on policy alternatives or if this is just a continuation of the ongoing veto against the so-called Yoon Seok-yeol administration that he has been conducting," expressing his opinion.

Former leader Lee created the YouTube channel 'Yeouido Reconstruction Association' on the 28th and uploaded a video on the 30th with the message that "the infringement of teachers' rights is not caused by the Student Human Rights Ordinance." This stance opposes the ruling party and government, which are pushing for amendments to the Student Human Rights Ordinance.

Supreme Council member Kim said, "Anyone can make reasonable criticism, but if it goes beyond reasonable criticism and becomes criticism for the sake of criticism, it might be uncomfortable for those who support the People Power Party or those who want the Yoon Seok-yeol administration to succeed," adding, "I think people will make a complex judgment about these matters."

He then urged Lee to take an interest in the reconstruction of Sanggye-dong, his constituency. Kim said, "Since it is his own constituency, and a large-scale reconstruction is actually underway in the eastern part of Seoul, if a politician claims to represent the constituency, it is especially important to pay attention to areas like Sanggye-dong or Nowon, where reconstruction is a very hot issue," and added, "I want to say that taking more interest in this approach is a crucial point for former leader Lee, who said he is sincere about Sanggye-dong in next year's general election."

On the other hand, Seol Joo-wan, Legal Affairs Committee member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "Most conservative YouTube channels so far have been mindlessly criticizing the Democratic Party or simply criticizing unconditionally, and most of their thumbnails and content reflected that," adding, "In that sense, I view it quite positively that former leader Lee’s conservative YouTube channel mainly discusses policy issues."

He continued, "It seems that Lee Jun-seok is different, clearly engaging in a different level of politics compared to others," and said, "Until now, personal attacks on former leader Lee, such as calling him rude, have existed, but his intelligence has been highlighted quite positively. Now, these aspects can serve as a starting point to show the public that he is a force proposing policy alternatives, essentially positioning himself as an alternative power," giving a positive evaluation.
