● Rhyu Si-min "Snipes" at President ● "A Path to Inevitable Failure" ● Text Bombs and Protest Calls

[Interview] Lim Mi-ae / Democratic Party Lawmaker
"Rhyu Si-min's remark about 'inevitable failure' is absurd; he crossed the line."
"It is a baseless speculation, a so-called 'personal theory'; not many party members will resonate with it."
"Why would the President initiate a political realignment in the first year of his term? There is no reason to."
"The Jung Chung-rae leadership is using the right to request supplementary investigations as a weapon for factional strife; this is problematic."
"The right to request supplementary investigations raises public concerns; we must deliberate to perfect the system."
"The party convention is focused only on the right to request supplementary investigations without any future agenda; this is not desirable."

[Interview] Kim So-hee / People Power Party Lawmaker
"Rhyu Si-min's remarks are becoming more intense; from the perspective of the People Power Party, it is refreshing."
"The reason for Rhyu's remarks? It seems intended to rally the hardline support base of the Jung Chung-rae faction."
"Is the President unable to speak out because he is negotiating with the prosecution regarding the withdrawal of indictments?"
"Because of the party convention, even Kim Min-seok has taken a stance to abolish the right to request supplementary investigations; this is wrong."

[Interview] Choi Seon-ho / SBS Editorial Writer
"The Presidential Office responded that 'the core values of prosecution reform have never wavered once.'"
"There is an agitated reaction within the Democratic Party regarding Rhyu Si-min's remarks."
"Rhyu Si-min seems to have an inflated obsession with prosecution reform; calling it 'sincerity' is a polite interpretation."
"Hardline supporters are posting on bulletin boards, 'targeting' and criticizing the '11 Enemies of Prosecution Reform.'"
