Kim Min-seok urges Democratic Party supporters to avoid derogatory language
Democratic Party leader Kim Min-seok has called on party supporters to refrain from using derogatory language and extreme expressions following a controversy involving writer Rhyu Si-min. Rhyu’s recent criticisms regarding the administration's prosecution reform efforts have sparked internal debate and calls from some party members for legal action.
During an appearance on the party's official YouTube channel, 'Minty 07', Kim stated that the party is following established legal and internal procedures to address the matter. He emphasized the need for self-restraint, suggesting that the party should focus on rational criticism rather than engaging in reciprocal verbal attacks. This sentiment aligns with recent social media statements from President Lee Jae-myung, who urged supporters to maintain dignity when facing slander.
In addition to the internal controversy, Kim addressed broader national security and diplomatic issues. He noted that the Democratic Party intends to focus more heavily on inter-Korean relations and the establishment of a peace system, following recent remarks made by the President at the UN General Assembly.
