Park Ji-won, a member of the Democratic Party, criticized former Cho Kuk Innovation Party leader Cho Kuk on July 13 for his recent comments, calling them "foolish."


During an appearance on SBS Radio's "Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show," Park stated, "In just a week, Cho posted about 30 times. This behavior will only distance him further from the public." He added, "Since Cho has failed, it would be better for him to reflect and remain quiet before making another attempt."


Park also mentioned that members of the Innovation Party advised Cho to take a short trip abroad, but he reportedly ignored their suggestions. "If he continues to be stubborn, there will be no future for him," Park said.


Furthermore, Park noted, "There are times in life and politics when things get tough. We should use these moments as opportunities for growth. Acting out of anger will only hurt oneself."


Meanwhile, on July 5, Cho Kuk posted on Facebook, defending the use of the term "no" by the online community Ilbe in a mocking context regarding the late President Roh Moo-hyun. This led to speculation that his comments were aimed at Won-i, a member of the girl group Lisenne, who used the phrase "scary." In response to the controversy, Cho stated the following day, "I never said Lisenne is associated with Ilbe. I regret that my words have been used to hurt Lisenne and her fans. Lisenne, yay!"
