"Those Are Not Words for a President to Say" — He Hoped the Lee Jae-myung Administration Would Succeed, So Why Did Kim Chong-in Turn Away?

On June 4, the day after the local elections and the first anniversary of President Lee Jae-myung's inauguration, former Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Chong-in appeared on the SBS YouTube channel Discovery of Knowledge. When asked to evaluate the past year of the Lee Jae-myung administration, Kim's response at the time was that it was neither particularly good nor bad, but rather uneventful. When he appeared again a little over two months later, we asked him if that assessment was still valid. Kim unleashed sharp criticism, stating that the president's words are instead producing a counterproductive effect. You can find out in the video why Kim, who once said he hoped the Lee Jae-myung administration would succeed for the nation's future, turned away so sharply.
