● Criticism Also Rising Within the Ruling Camp

Sung Han-yong / Senior Editorial Writer, The Hankyoreh
"The nomination of Yong Hye-in touched upon preferential treatment and fairness, which angers the youth."
"A distorted history continues... satellite parties must stop."
"Na Kyung-won's use of the term 'bait' regarding Yong is wrong... it is the exact same ministerial nomination."

Huh Min / Senior Reporter, Munhwa Ilbo
"Yong Hye-in should have prepared an answer regarding 'resigning as a lawmaker'... it is irresponsible."
"The Cheong Wa Dae must have anticipated the public criticism against Yong in advance."
"Criticizing Yong is a cost that must be paid to protect Kim Seung-won."
