Kim Min-jeon with Baekgoldan... Lee Jun-seok "Do you really not understand its meaning in Korea? Can't distinguish excrement"

Kim Min-jeon Joins Anti-Communist Youth Group Press Conference
"People Power Party Should Demand Kim Min-jeon to Leave" Also Claimed

Lee Jun-seok, a member of the Reform New Party, directly criticized Kim Min-jeon of the People Power Party, saying that Kim called the Baekgoldan to the National Assembly to block the enforcement of public authority, and therefore has no qualifications as a lawmaker. On the 9th, Lee posted on his Facebook, "Right now, all citizens are worried that conflicts might arise between the police and the security office due to President Yoon Seok-yeol's obstinacy, or that confrontations between citizens supporting and opposing impeachment might intensify in front of the Hannam-dong residence."

Earlier that day, Representative Kim Min-jeon attended a press conference of the Anti-Communist Youth Group at the Yeouido National Assembly Communication Office. Representative Kim introduced those who recently wore white helmets and held a protest to defend the presidential residence nearby as "Baekgoldan is a subordinate organization of the Anti-Communist Youth Group," adding, "We will do our best to protect President Yoon and uphold the constitutional order of the Republic of Korea."

Lee said, "In this situation, how can Kim Min-jeon bring an organization that intends to obstruct the enforcement of public authority to a press conference at the National Assembly and promote them?" He criticized Kim’s action of arranging the press conference at the National Assembly communication office as extremely inappropriate. Lee asked Kim, "Do you really not know what the term 'Baekgoldan' means in South Korea?" and strongly criticized, "This is politics that cannot even distinguish excrement before the feces truck." He continued, "The People Power Party pushes out lawmakers like Kim Sang-wook who act according to their convictions, but supports Kim Min-jeon who incites social unrest. The person who should be disciplined or asked to leave the party is someone like Kim Min-jeon."

Earlier that day, Kim Min-jeon attended a press conference of the Anti-Communist Youth Group at the National Assembly communication office in Yeouido. Kim introduced those who recently wore white helmets and held protests to defend the presidential residence as "Baekgoldan, a subordinate organization of the Anti-Communist Youth Group," and said, "They will do their best to protect President Yoon and uphold the constitutional order of the Republic of Korea." A representative of the Anti-Communist Youth Group who attended the press conference emphasized, "Deploying police special forces to attempt to arrest the sitting president is a dangerous act that could escalate into a civil war," and added, "We will do everything possible to protect President Yoon Seok-yeol and uphold the constitutional order of the Republic of Korea."

Meanwhile, the Baekgoldan they referred to is the name of a political gangster group organized by the Liberal Party under the Syngman Rhee government. In the 1980s and 1990s, it was also a term used for plainclothes police officers who suppressed the democratization movement. Baekgoldan referred to the 'plainclothes arrest squads' of police officers wearing white helmets at protest sites during the 1980s and 1990s, many of whom were martial arts black belts. Recently, hardline conservative supporters organized a 'private security force for President Yoon Seok-yeol' consisting of about 300 people who intended to block the execution of arrest warrants, and among them, about 30 men in their twenties and thirties formed the Baekgoldan. They were equipped with white helmets, light sticks called anti-communist batons, protective gear, and were reportedly preparing gas masks to block tear gas.
