Hwang Hee-du: "Is Lee Jae-myung Yangduguyuk? That's not Gancheol-su's place to say"

"Ahn Cheol-soo's Criticism of Lee Jae-myung Is a 'Self-defeating Move'"
"How Can Pro-Japanese Traitors Be Called Conservatives?"

Hwang Hee-du, a director at the Roh Moo-hyun Foundation, criticized Ahn Cheol-soo of the People Power Party, who had criticized Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, calling it a 'self-defeating move.'

On the 19th, Hwang wrote on Facebook, "The 'interest groups' that have only pursued their own desires under the banner of conservatism must disappear for proper politics to be possible," and pointed out, "How can pro-Japanese traitors be called conservatives?" He then sarcastically added, "In the midst of this, Ahn, who is again talking about the presidential election, criticized Lee, which makes me laugh rather than angry."

This appears to be in response to Ahn's remarks on the morning of the same day on SBS Radio's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show.' When asked, "If Lee continues to propose moderate conservative policies during the early presidential election process, won't the People Power Party lose its standing?" Ahn replied, "No," and countered, "Would anyone believe Lee given how often he changes his words?" He further criticized Lee, saying, "He said he would accept the 52-hour workweek (Semiconductor Special Act) but did not. He said he would not provide money to all citizens but then said he would. His symptom of changing words is worsening," and added, "In short, it's 'Yangduguyuk' (a phrase meaning 'a dog’s head and a butcher’s body,' implying deception). When politicians waver in their words, the public falls into severe confusion. A national leader should have the attitude of speaking clearly once and keeping that promise with weight, without mocking the people anymore." He also emphasized the need for "a morally unblemished figure at times like this," and noted, "The second trial result of Lee will come out next month, which will be a significant variable affecting the public's sentiment."

Regarding this, Hwang commented, "Mr. 'Gancheolsu' (a nickname meaning 'Ahn Cheol-soo who only looks at the tide'), known as the greatest political turncoat (a politician who changes party affiliation only for political gain) in history, is not in a position to say anything."

Meanwhile, Hwang was appointed chairman of the Game Special Committee established by the Democratic Party through the Supreme Council meeting that morning. Kim Sung-hoe, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, explained, "The Game Special Committee will address various issues including ecosystem promotion and e-sports."
