Lee Jae-myung Warns Internal Party Controversy... "Inappropriate Remarks, Strict Response Without Tolerance"

Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, recently addressed a series of internal party controversies, stating on the 21st, "I would like to say that inappropriate words and actions as a public servant of the people will be dealt with strictly and without tolerance."

On the same day, Lee wrote on his Facebook, "Words and actions must always be from the perspective of the people and meet the people's standards, and they are evaluated as such."

He emphasized, "The owners of the Republic of Korea are the people. The essence of power is the people themselves," adding, "Politicians, as public servants of the people, must always humbly fear and serve the people."

He continued, "How a public servant serves their master can be seen in their words and attitude," and questioned, "How can one respect their master while speaking and acting recklessly?"

Lee also stressed, "Attitude is the essence. If you do not fear the people, the people will not tolerate you," and added, "Every word a politician utters carries the weight of a thousand kilograms. One must always be serious and meticulous in every word and action."

Lee’s message is interpreted as a reference to former lawmaker Choi Kang-wook, who faced fierce criticism inside and outside the party for saying "the one causing trouble is a female dog" while criticizing the Yoon Suk-yeol administration.

It is also interpreted as targeting the hardline lawmakers who have made provocative remarks, such as publicly mentioning the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol.
