Kim Min-seok targets Joo Jin-woo, "He enjoys extreme wordplay, his political career is short."

On the 13th, Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized People Power Party lawmaker Joo Jin-woo, who left a comment on social media saying, "It's time to end Lee Jae-myeong," saying, "A form of politics that does not reflect on itself and uses extreme wordplay is unlikely to last long."

On this day, Representative Kim appeared on the Democratic Party's YouTube channel 'Minty 07' and said, "This kind of talk is so bad that it can even be called a play on words."

Representative Kim pointed out, “For someone who enjoys such things (puns), I haven’t seen many cases where he has a long political life,” and added, “It should be considered almost nonexistent.”

He continued, "Congressman Joo has a reputation for often doing more of the things he points out to the other party. For example, he points out whether there is a problem with the other party's property formation, but when you look at it, there are many things in his (Congressman Joo's) family that show that the process of a grandfather passing on a large amount of money to his young grandson is not that transparent."

Representative Kim also criticized Rep. Joo as “a bit irrational” in accusing President Lee Jae-myung of leaking secrets after taking a photo of a confidential document on X (old Twitter).

Representative Kim said, "It is such an absurd comedy to report that and talk about it with a straight face." He added, "The confidential information was intended to emphasize security before the meeting, and the reporter was to inform the contents in a certain situation after (the meeting) was over."

In response to Rep. Joo's criticism of President Lee's holiday golf as 'Emperor's golf,' Representative Kim refuted, "The President's golf has a health aspect as well as a realistic diplomatic preparation aspect," and added, "(US) President Trump has said several times that he wishes we could play golf together."

Representative Kim said, “Isn’t the National Assembly an ethically lawless zone?” He pointed out, “Because the Ethics Special Committee is composed of an equal number of (ruling and ruling) parties, the National Assembly is the place where the worst nonsense or unethical behavior is most ethically undisciplined.”

He continued, “If expelling members of the National Assembly is not possible, an idea I had was to suspend their qualifications for a certain period of time, and we discussed this in the National Assembly yesterday as well,” adding, “It would be better to organize it boldly.”

At the same time, he emphasized, "The National Assembly must draw a line between extreme nonsense, especially the May 18 nonsense, that are outside the framework of the Constitution and social ethics," and added, "We will take one step further toward overcoming the situation where the Ethics Committee is unable to actually discipline."

Representative Kim criticized People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won's letter of gratitude to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy regarding the repatriation of prisoners to Korea, saying it "deviates from the standards of morality and reason."
