Kim Min-seok, a candidate for the leadership of the Democratic Party, stated on July 22 that "predictions of the failure of the Lee Jae-myung government will also fail." This comment was a direct criticism of author Yu Si-min's remarks regarding the failure theory.
In a Facebook post, Kim asserted, "The Lee Jae-myung government will succeed," adding, "Just like the erroneous predictions about former President Kim Dae-jung's failure."
He emphasized, "Words like 'failure' and 'rotten smell' do not exist in the language of comrades or the perspective of affection," and criticized those who distort and manipulate the president's voice and sincerity, stating that such politics has lost restraint and dignity.
Additionally, he promised, "We will overcome factionalism, divisive tendencies, and the challenges posed by Shincheonji, and we will desperately revive the nation from Honam to Yeongnam."
Regarding allegations of Shincheonji involvement, he stated, "The Democratic Party will resolve issues of dual party membership and eliminate suspicions of ghost party members," and encouraged other parties to conduct their own self-regulation.
Kim concluded, "With a sense of responsibility that does not shy away from the mud, we will continue to pave the way for the future of the party, government, and nation," asserting that the Lee Jae-myung government and the Democratic Party will ultimately prevail.
Meanwhile, Yu Si-min appeared on the YouTube channel 'Choi Wook's Maebul Show' on July 15, where he stated, "President Lee is heading down the path of inevitable failure."
