[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 18th, Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, criticized Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung's statement that "If I am an unprecedented populist, then the People Power Party is an unprecedented fraud group," saying, "How can the governor of Gyeonggi, who is supposedly leading the race for the next presidential candidate, be so unable to hide his anger at the attacks from a few first-term members of the People Power Party?" and added, "He should maintain some dignity."

On the same day, Jang said on Facebook, "How can he lead South Korea by embracing the diverse demands of the people when he cannot even control his anger toward criticism directed at himself?"

Jang stated, "He used the harshest insults expressible in Korean, such as 'fake,' 'unprecedented fraud group,' and 'corrupt reactionary DNA.' If he attacks the People Power Party as an unprecedented fraud group, wouldn't the expression 'unprecedented anger management disorder governor' naturally be used in return?"

Jang added, "When such harsh words are exchanged, the public will likely remember only Governor Lee's unstable temperament, who has overwhelmingly high public recognition, rather than judging right or wrong. For the sake of governing the country, perhaps he should first learn to control his anger."
