Lee Jun-seok "Tactics of Insane People, Regrettable"

Former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok criticized Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon by comparing them to the online game "League of Legends (LOL)." In response, Jeong Yoo-ra called him a "noob who doesn't know what LOL is."


On the 30th of last month, Lee Jun-seok posted on Facebook, likening the ruling party's difficult situation after Lee Jae-myung's arrest warrant was dismissed to a LOL game, saying, "Lee Jae-myung survives, but the government and ruling party are in a difficult position."

He wrote, "From the start of the game, the top lane and bottom lane were left empty, and Lee Jae-myung went to gank the mid lane, but ended up low on health and tried to give the last hit to one person to make a hero, only to be counter-killed," adding, "Now Lee Jae-myung has survived and gone to the well (base)."

Lee also said, "The top and bottom lanes, which were left empty and behind in level, have long had their towers (defensive structures on the lanes) destroyed," and added, "They should have played the game step by step, but from the beginning, leaving a wide battlefield and only drawing aggro (attention) to one spot, these crazy people have made such a pathetic strategy."


This is widely interpreted as criticism directed at the ruling party and Minister Han, who led the situation to the dismissal of Lee Jae-myung's warrant. It indirectly points out that the prosecution and ruling party focused only on Lee's 'judicial risk.'


In response, Jeong Yoo-ra, daughter of Choi Seo-won (formerly Choi Soon-sil), who is serving time for the state manipulation scandal, criticized Lee on Facebook, saying, "Jun-seok, you seem like a Bronze 2 Yasuo one-trick," implying he only has experience at a low level in LOL but pretends to be an expert. She wrote, "Jun-seok, you haven't played LOL."


This is not the first time Jeong has targeted Lee Jun-seok. During the state manipulation scandal, she sharply criticized Lee for saying "We must cross the river of impeachment," stating, "The enemy of former President Park Geun-hye is my enemy."



Lee Jun-seok was once called a "Park Geun-hye kid" after being appointed as a "Bureaucratic Committee Member" at the age of 26 by Park Geun-hye, then the Saenuri Party emergency committee chairman, in December 2011.
