Lee Jun-seok: "Lee Jae-myung's Assault May Cause Slow Recovery Due to Trauma"
An Incident Difficult to Prevent and Likely to Leave Trauma
Former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok commented on the stabbing incident involving Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party, which occurred the previous day, saying, “From the perspective of a public politician, Leader Lee will have to continue attending such schedules even after experiencing this incident (the stabbing), but it is an event that could leave trauma for the individual.”

He continued, “I have also attended many on-site campaigns, but it is almost impossible to distinguish between very enthusiastic supporters and those with somewhat strange thoughts just by appearance,” and expressed, “It doesn’t feel like someone else’s problem.” He also added that if politicians start restricting everyone who shows unusual behavior too preventively, those people may become extreme 'anti' supporters, so politicians inevitably have to accept this risk to some extent.

He then pointed out, “Many people ask why the police present at the scene did not respond properly, but what we call security and protection are different.” Lee explained, “Increasing security personnel means surrounding the area and deploying them in case of an emergency,” and “Close protection does not prevent the occurrence of emergencies themselves.”
