Jang Ye-chan "Want to see Seoul's Spring? I Recommend 'Asura' by the Same Director"

As the movie 'Seoul's Spring,' which depicts the Chun Doo-hwan regime seizing power through a coup, became a hot topic, Jeong Cheong-rae, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, mentioned that "people related to the Yoon Seok-yeol administration must watch it." In response, Jang Ye-chan, the Youth Supreme Council member of the People Power Party, said, "I would recommend the movie 'Asura' by the same director." The movie 'Asura' is rumored to be linked to Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the Democratic Party.

On the 29th, Jang, the Youth Supreme Council member, said on BBS's 'Jeon Young-shin's Morning Journal,' "Constantly demonizing the opponent by associating them with military regimes from decades ago is bad politics."

Jeong, the Supreme Council member, had said at the Democratic Party's Supreme Council meeting the previous day that he watched 'Seoul's Spring' and compared the current administration to military dictatorship. Kim Yong-min, a Democratic Party lawmaker, and Kim Nam-guk, an independent lawmaker formerly of the Democratic Party, also linked the movie's content to the current administration.

However, Jang, the Youth Supreme Council member, responded, "We are a powerless minority opposition party, helplessly being pushed aside by the Democratic Party, which currently controls the National Assembly while following laws and procedures," adding, "From that perspective, instead of watching movies and withdrawing now, I want to urge the opposition in the National Assembly to act like an opposition and engage in cooperation."

He continued, "Those who keep talking about impeachment seem to be bringing up these movie stories and martial law talk to cover up the impeachment issue," and said, "I would rather recommend that they watch 'Asura,' a movie by the same director, once again. Doesn't it remind you of someone?"

Regarding the Democratic Party's call for a "truth investigation" after the internet media outlet 'Seoul's Voice' raised suspicions that First Lady Kim Keon-hee received a luxury handbag as a gift last September, he said, "This is a politically orchestrated operation," adding, "Not only is it illegal reporting, but it is a political operation where they kept visiting while claiming connections with the late father of the campaign leader, eventually setting a trap. Therefore, illegal acts in such reporting and political operations must be dealt with firmly and strictly."

He also said, "If the Democratic Party is a public party, regardless of the ruling or opposition status, they should draw a line against such political operations and conspiratorial reporting."
