[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party floor leader Na Kyung-won on the 30th directed a remark at Yoon Gun-young, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "Go to the Blue House and frankly tell President Moon Jae-in to at least do half as much as former President Roh Moo-hyun did."

Former floor leader Na said on Facebook that day, "Those whose level of consciousness stopped in the 1980s and whose political level stopped 15 years ago are making the country sick."

Yoon, on the previous day on Facebook, pointed out, "From first-term to multiple-term members of the opposition party, they unite as one body to focus their attack on President Moon's silence," adding, "Suddenly seeing this, I recall their behavior from over ten years ago. They used to say, 'If the president opens his mouth, 40 million people suffer; if the president remains silent, the people are at ease.'

Yoon mentioned, "They poured all kinds of harsh criticism whenever former President Roh said anything," citing remarks from opposition party members during the Roh Moo-hyun administration such as 'The recent economic recovery is because the president keeps his mouth shut' (Lee Han-gu) and 'If one president opens his mouth, 40 million people suffer' (Na Kyung-won).
