Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon issued a stern warning that only the punishment of the ringleaders of the insurrection and the normalization of the Constitutional Court can rescue the South Korean economy from the exchange rate shock.
On the 27th, Governor Kim posted on his social media (SNS), stating, "There is no more time to hesitate regarding the exchange rate shock," and pointed out, "The won-dollar exchange rate once rose to 1,480 won."
He continued, "This is the highest level in 15 years and 9 months since March 16, 2009, when it was 1,488.0 won," and claimed, "It surged by about 70 won since the December 3 insurrection (1,402.9 won). This is due to the ongoing insurrection, the so-called 'insurrection risk.'"
In particular, he emphasized, "I sternly warn the People Power Party and the Cabinet members," and stated, "Turning the punishment of the insurrection ringleaders, the normalization of the Constitutional Court, and the impeachment of the acting president into political strife will become an economic insurrection crime that ruins the Korean economy."
Furthermore, he advised, "There really is no more time now," and said, "Only the immediate arrest of the insurrection ringleaders and the swift impeachment trial following the normalization of the Constitutional Court can resolve uncertainty and revive the economy."
