Han Byeong-do, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, criticized Jang Dong-hyuk, the leader of the People Power Party, for his disrespectful comments directed at President Lee Jae-myung. He urged Jang to maintain the dignity expected of the leader of the main opposition party.
During a Central Election Campaign Committee meeting held in Jeju on May 15, Han stated, "Jang has been using informal language towards President Lee, the head of state, and engaging in slander and defamation."
He added, "I hope you will stop trying to mislead the public with low-level remarks and focus more on developing local election promises."
Han also pointed out that Jang made inappropriate comments during the official launch of the Central Election Campaign Committee, questioning, 'Shouldn't Lee Jae-myung also face trial and go to prison?' and 'Does Lee have the qualification or ability to protect the citizens of South Korea?' He noted that Jang had also posted on Facebook, stating, 'If you don't like Lee Jae-myung, everything is fake news,' and 'If Lee is an innocent victim, then so are Jo Joo-bin from the Nth Room case and drug lord Park Wang-yeol.' Han warned, "Remember that such behavior undermines your own credibility."
