"A Frog Forgets Its Tadpole Days"
Former People Power Party lawmaker Kim Woong raised his voice at Park Ji-won, a Democratic Party lawmaker who served as the head of the National Intelligence Service during the Moon Jae-in administration, saying, "If you want to adopt a dog, adopt the dog abandoned by the person who made you the head of the National Intelligence Service."
On the 19th, Kim said this on his Facebook, stating, "They say a frog forgets when it was a tadpole." He added, "The Democratic Party is frivolous and petty," and criticized, "Imagine how cruel the Democratic Party would be if they came to power."
Earlier, Park had mentioned that he would adopt and raise President Yoon Seok-yeol's pet dog, Tory. On the 17th, on KBC Gwangju Broadcasting's 'Yeouido Invitation,' Park said, "I will take charge of Tory and bring her to Jindo," adding, "Since she learned and was loyal to the bad owners, President Yoon and his wife, I will take her to Jindo to train her to be a Jindo dog loyal to a good owner."
In response, former lawmaker Kim sharpened his remarks by recalling former President Moon's 'Pungsan dog return controversy.' After the inter-Korean summit in September 2018, former President Moon received Pungsan dogs, Gomi and Songgang, as gifts from North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. However, after Moon's resignation, the Pungsan dogs were returned to the current government, which sparked a controversy over their rehoming. At the time, Moon's side explained that Gomi and Songgang were classified as national records and were transferred to the Presidential Archives in accordance with the Presidential Records Management Act.
