People Power Party Demands Disclosure of Records Over Allegations President Lee Played Golf on Day of Navy Sailor's Disappearance

The People Power Party has launched an offensive, demanding the full disclosure of records regarding allegations that President Lee Jae-myung played golf on the day a Navy frigate crew member went missing in the East Sea and was later found dead.
Representative Jang Dong-hyuk wrote on Facebook today, "Allegations have been raised that while a Navy soldier was losing his life in the cold waters of the East Sea, the President was leisurely playing golf. How devastating must the families' hearts be?"
Jang claimed, "The allegations are very specific. The soldier's disappearance was confirmed early on the morning of the 12th. The time (the President) reportedly began playing golf was around 11:00 a.m. on the 12th," adding, "It is said that many people, including security personnel, witnessed the President's party."
He further urged, "If that is truly the case, we can no longer recognize Lee Jae-myung as the Commander-in-Chief of the Republic of Korea's Armed Forces. Disclose all related materials, including reports following the soldier's disappearance, Taereung Country Club entry logs, and CCTV footage, with minute-by-minute accuracy."
Supreme Council member Shin Dong-wook stated, "Allegations are spreading online that the President was playing golf at Taereung at the time the missing soldier was found dead," adding, "I hope the Blue House will prevent further confusion by providing a clear explanation that the President did not play golf."
Representative Na Kyung-won emphasized on Facebook, "If the reported allegations are true, this is a grave security lapse that would have led the Democratic Party to push for a parliamentary investigation, special counsel, and impeachment in a heartbeat if it had happened under a conservative administration," adding, "President Lee must personally clarify the truth of the golf allegations before the public."
