Hong Ik-pyo: "Han Dong-hoon is just a sophisticated Yoon Seok-yeol who doesn't drink alcohol"

"Is the Disappearance of the Yoon Couple a Ruling Party Election Strategy?"
Proposal to Abandon Immunity from Arrest in South Korea Called a "Constitutional Amendment Issue"

Hong Ik-pyo, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, targeted Han Dong-hoon, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, saying, "Isn't he just a refined version of Yoon Seok-yeol who doesn't drink alcohol?" and criticized, "If this suspicion is not true, then do your job properly."

At the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 16th, Floor Leader Hong said, "There are constant remarks that he is the president's avatar," and criticized, "If Chairman Han Dong-hoon lacks anything, it is that he cannot speak rightly to the president."

He continued, "He is aggressive toward the people and the opposition party, but still submissive toward the president and his wife who have put the ruling party in crisis," and added, "I hope he stops watching the president's eyes anymore." He also said, "Their relationship is no longer that of the Prosecutor General and a subordinate prosecutor, and he should not be receiving KakaoTalk instructions from First Lady Kim Keon-hee."

Floor Leader Hong also criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol and his wife. He pointed out, "The president has not held a New Year's press conference for two consecutive years, and this year, he only carries out events where he says what he wants according to a well-prepared script and then disappears," and "First Lady Kim Keon-hee, who had plastered the presidential office website with her photos and showed an aggressive approach, has not appeared for over a month."

He added, "The disappearance of both the president and his wife seems to be a strategy of the presidential office and the ruling party for the election," and said, "It seems like a reasonable judgment, but it is absurd that the ruling party effectively confines the president they created themselves and reduces him to a vegetative state." He then scolded, "The trick of disappearing from sight for a while to make mistakes disappear and deceive the people only earns ridicule from the public."

Meanwhile, Floor Leader Hong stated that Han Dong-hoon's proposal to 'waive parliamentary immunity from arrest' and 'return salary' is a "constitutional amendment matter." He said, "We are preparing for constitutional amendments, including limiting the president's veto power, and will consult with the ruling party as preparations progress."
