Democratic Party Ethics Committee Filing... Taeyoungho "They Couldn't Even Make a Sound in Front"

"Democratic Party Only Focused on Rogue Frame"
"Quiet Lee Jae-myung Snarks When Dragged Out"

The Democratic Party of Korea criticized Tae Young-ho, a member of the People Power Party, who visited the site of Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung's hunger strike to protest, saying, "He cannot utter a word in front of me, yet he pushes for disciplinary action at the Ethics Committee."

On the 12th, Tae posted on his social media, "In recent days, as the Democratic Party has been cornered by the slur calling me 'trash,' they are desperately trying to flip the narrative by framing me as a 'ruffian' who recklessly visited Leader Lee during his hunger strike to cause a disturbance," he said.

On the 7th, Tae Young-ho, a member of the People Power Party, visited the hunger strike tent of Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, set up in front of the National Assembly main building, and was dragged out by Democratic Party lawmakers while protesting to Lee. On that day, Tae pointed out the delay in recommending directors for the North Korean Human Rights Foundation during a question session targeting the Minister of Unification on North Korean human rights issues at the government inspection on diplomacy, unification, and security held the previous day.

He claimed that the reason he visited Leader Lee was because the Democratic Party called him "trash." He said, "Even during the government questioning on the 6th, Democratic Party members hurled unbearable slurs at me, the questioner, such as 'trash from North Korea,' 'red,' and 'collaborator.' When I protested by saying 'watch your words,' they instead pointed fingers at me and shouted loudly."

He added, "I visited Leader Lee because it is his responsibility as party leader to discipline and expel Park Young-sun, who insulted me. I informed them of my visit in advance, and it was Democratic Party members who blocked me from meeting Leader Lee, who said he would only deliver a statement during his hunger strike, and who violently pulled me out by pushing my back and grabbing my arm."

Tae also criticized Leader Lee's attitude. He said, "Leader Lee cowardly said nothing in front of me, only quietly closing his eyes and listening, but as soon as I was dragged out, he sneered, saying 'He must have felt very wronged,' and 'He probably won't survive like that.' Seeing Leader Lee, who said nothing, I felt ashamed of myself for briefly worrying that he might not have the strength to speak due to the hunger strike."

Tae said, "Today's disciplinary action by the Democratic Party Ethics Committee against me means that the Democratic Party has no intention of reflecting on the slur 'trash' they hurled at defectors from North Korea. The Democratic Party and Leader Lee, who use language similar to the North Korean authorities' slurs against defectors and have nullified the North Korean Human Rights Act for seven years, will not be able to escape the judgment of history."
