[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Boryeong] Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said, "If it is for righteousness, one must act accordingly."

On the night of the 24th, Lee posted on his Facebook, stating, "Ignoring injustice is injustice."

Lee did not specify what exactly he meant by 'injustice.' However, considering that the post was made around the time President Yoon Seok-yeol returned from his visits to the UK, the US, and Canada, it is interpreted as a critique of the 'profanity controversy' that occurred during the trip.

It is also highly likely that this signals an intention to strengthen a hardline stance against the ruling party during the regular National Assembly session.

In response to Lee's post, Park Chan-dae, a Supreme Council member, commented, "Everything would be great if it were Biden." This is interpreted as a sarcastic remark following the presidential office's explanation that the profanity controversy was not about mentioning Biden but rather about the word 'nallimyeon' (날리면).
