President Lee's only interests seem to be golf and social media... Communicate with people who criticize you
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yeon-jeong and Cho Daun = People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyuk said to President Lee Jae-myung on the 12th, "Please do not communicate with JANDI during the day and smartphones at night, but instead communicate with people who will criticize you."
Representative Jang mentioned this at the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, saying, "These days, the president's only interests seem to be golf and social media. During the day, he goes golfing with his family, and at night he is busy using social media."
Regarding President Lee's SNS, he said, "Last month alone, there were 116 posts, and this month, the number exceeded 60 in just 10 days. However, there is nothing that the public wants to hear." He pointed out, "The real estate hell is the fault of the former administration, the complete survey of farmland is the fault of speculators, and the 'Samchunix ETF' is not even mentioned."
He continued, "They can't say a word to North Korea, which attacked landmines, or Iran, which attacked missiles, but they are only making all kinds of attacks on Ukraine, which sent them to North Korea as prisoners of war. When they were criticized for using 'left-leaning' words, they admonished the public for 'excessive seriousness,' but last night, they used them again, saying it was a popular phrase these days." He criticized, โThey are dragging everyone in, including former Mayor Park Won-soon.โ
He said, "President Lee claims it is communication, but no one in the public thinks this is communication. What kind of communication is this when he only says what he has to say and only scratches his own side while not listening to any of the people's voices calling for a change in government affairs?" He added, "There are no golf courses or smartphones in prison. I hope President Lee prepares in advance."
In addition, Representative Jang said, "President Lee has set a record high of 52 billion won in budget for next year's trip. That's enough money to go out more than 20 times," and added, "If you're going to destroy the right wing and gain 'leftist solidarity,' you can't just not go."
