[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop strongly criticized Kim Seong-won, a member of the People Power Party, who said on the 11th at a flood damage recovery site, "I hope it rains a little so the photos come out well."

Former lawmaker Geum posted on his Facebook that day, saying, "Visiting those affected by the flood damage and making foolish remarks as if joking is really unacceptable as a public official."

He added, "Although the approval ratings of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration and the People Power Party are falling, most people hope they improve by doing better," and pointed out, "There are probably many people willing to help if it is helpful. But who can help when they themselves show such behavior?"

He continued, "Even after experiencing impeachment, our country's conservatives really have not changed, and no one has sacrificed or taken responsibility," lamenting, "It seems they think they did well because they won the last presidential election. Their arrogance reaches the sky."
