Park Ji-won: "President Yoon, You Feel Bad, So You Suggest Eating Later"

"Bandengi Politician Made the Country Like This" Criticism
"Even Han Dong-hoon Is Like an Unripe Persimmon" Direct Hit

President Yoon Suk-yeol's decision to postpone the dinner scheduled for the 30th with Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the ruling People Power Party, and other party leaders until after the Chuseok holiday was sharply criticized by Park Ji-won, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, who said, "President Yoon's action is like saying, 'I won't eat with you because I'm upset.'"

On the 29th, Park appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and stated, "Even elementary school students regulate their emotions these days, but President Yoon seems to have anger management issues," adding, "Is the president a kindergartener? This kind of immature politics has brought this country to this state."

Regarding the prolonged medical service gap, Park also said, "There is a great sense of crisis ahead of Chuseok due to emergency room issues, and people are actually dying. Who is killing the people? Who is the murderer?" He criticized, "They say they will increase the number of emergency room workers' pay fivefold, but can money solve this? Is that money their own? It is the people's money and tax." He further warned, "If President Yoon continues with this stubbornness, he will fail and face serious consequences."

On the ongoing conflict between President Yoon and Leader Han over resolving the 'medical-government conflict,' Park said, "Leader Han Dong-hoon opposes the proposal to postpone the admission of new medical students until 2026," criticizing, "How can the president be so petty?" He added, "Neither the public nor doctors oppose increasing medical school admissions. However, this should be done gradually through agreement with the parties involved, but the president's order to increase admissions by 2,000 starting next year caused this chaos." He also argued, "The biggest mistake President Yoon makes is thinking he is doing a great job as president," and insisted, "Leader Han should strongly stand on the side of the people."

Furthermore, regarding the retreat, Park predicted, "President Yoon will 100% attend," and said, "Since only a small number of lawmakers support Leader Han, President Yoon will give courage to the Yoon-loyal lawmakers to take control and unify them." Finally, about Leader Han's recent actions, Park said, "He should have consulted with Floor Leader Choo Kyung-ho and others on issues like the postponement of medical school admissions. Instead, he abruptly communicated only with the presidential office without internal party communication. (However) the party has more seats controlled by President Yoon." He concluded, "Looking at Leader Han, he is still immature. Not ripe yet."
