National Power "Not President Lee Jae-myung, but a YouTuber... Trapped in the cyber world"

On the 5th, the People Power Party criticized President Lee Jae-myung's announcement of 'President's Y', a YouTube program that communicates directly with the people, saying, "President Lee, who is trapped in the cyber world, should now come out of the world and take care of the people's livelihood and state affairs."

At the Supreme Committee meeting held at the National Assembly on this day, Representative Jang Dong-hyuk sarcastically said, "Even after seeing the collapse of the Democratic Party TV, the Blue House said that it would create a 'blue tea'. Then, it will become a 'scam' that runs away after only getting the indictment cancelled."

Shin Dong-wook, a member of the Supreme Council, pointed out, “From now on, I think our people will see YouTuber Lee Jae-myung rather than President Lee Jae-myung. As for how effective it is for the president to communicate directly with the people, there are really a lot of side effects.”

He then pointed out, "In the past, when the United States was going through difficult times, President Roosevelt appeared on the radio every evening and comforted the people through 'fireside chats,' which was the model, but since then, it has usually been carried out by dictators or populist politicians privatizing broadcasting."

At the same time, he said, "Every evening, the media will pay attention to what the president says, and this will not only affect domestic politics, economy, and society, but what is more worrying is that it is very likely to cause fatal side effects in diplomatic relations." He added, "Please, why don't you keep your mouth shut now?"

Kim Jae-won, the Supreme Council member, also said, "He is pointing 'Y' at the people who are tired of 'X' (X, old Twitter)," and added, "This is a president who is narcissistic, delusional, and uses state power to vent his sorrow. I think the fact that Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok's broadcast on Democratic Party TV was not cool gave the president a clue that he should take action himself. This is not communication, but directing."

Chief Spokesperson Choi Bo-yoon said in a commentary, "Where has the 'President of all' gone, a president who ignores the people who ask 'Why' and only turns on his own 'Y'?" and criticized, "What the people wanted was 'restraint', but the president's answer was 'expansion.'"

He also pointed out, "It is said that a gentleman should speak carefully and act quickly, but the president is quick in his words and slow in taking responsibility." He also pointed out, "The president called SNS 'like a lifeline,' but the president's lifeline is the trust of the people."

Representative Park Hyeong-soo appeared on SBS Radio and pointed out, "Even now, national power is wasted because of social media, but if you start using YouTube, won't you speak in a way that unilaterally injects your thoughts into the people? If so, (the waste of national power) will intensify even more."

Spokesperson Cho Yong-sul said in a commentary, "The president's politics is not something he does with words, but rather proves it with results in the field with the people," and urged, "Now get out of the cyber world and enter the daily lives of the people."
