Pro-Lee Jae-myung Park Sun-won Slams Cho Kuk as 'Ungrateful' Over Remarks on Dismissal of President's Indictment

Park Sun-won, a Supreme Council Member of the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) belonging to the pro-Lee Jae-myung faction, criticized Cho Kuk, Director of the Innovation Policy Institute of the Rebuilding Korea Party, today (September 2), saying, "I can only call this ungrateful."

Speaking at a Supreme Council meeting held at Sejong City Hall earlier today, Supreme Council Member Park stated, "Former Representative Cho's remarks are deeply regrettable," delivering his criticism.

He also remarked, "This cannot be the language of a comrade," and asked, "What is it that you harbor such a grudge over?"

Although Park did not explicitly specify which remarks by Director Cho he was referring to, his comments appeared to target a post Cho uploaded on Facebook the previous day regarding the "special counsel bill on fabricated indictments" and the dismissal of indictments.

In his Facebook post regarding the DP's special counsel bill on fabricated indictments, Cho wrote, "To dismiss an indictment on the grounds of a 'fabricated indictment,' the 'fabrication' must first be confirmed." He added, "If the dismissal of the indictment against President Lee Jae-myung is pushed through while ignoring this, it will inevitably lead to political and legal disgrace."

Cho also claimed, "The DP welcomed the guilty verdict against Yoon Suk Yeol for violating the Public Official Election Act regarding the publication of false information." He further argued, "Unless the Supreme Court's legal principles are overturned once again, there is a very high likelihood that a guilty verdict will be handed down in the appellate trial, which is set to resume after President Lee's term ends."
