On the 20th, Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung commented on the Democratic Party's crushing defeat in the April 7 by-elections, saying, "Isn't it like a parent harshly scolding and disciplining a child out of love and hope for their success?"
Governor Lee made these remarks during a meeting with reporters after visiting Yoon Ho-jung, the Democratic Party floor leader, at the National Assembly that afternoon.
Lee said, "Floor Leader Yoon also said that the people have raised the cane against our party," adding, "We must implement even small but practical reforms that help improve the lives of the people and truly change their daily lives."
