Jung Jeong-sik, the floor leader of the People Power Party, publicly criticized Kim Min-seok, the leader of the Democratic Party.
During a National Assembly meeting on October 20, Jung stated, "Both the derogatory remarks made by Governor Choo Mi-ae about firefighters and Kim's abuse of power are equally disrespectful."
He referred to Choo and Kim as 'Chuseok siblings,' adding, "It would be insufficient for Kim to apologize unilaterally to Choo, as they should be bowing together in repentance, which makes Kim's demand absurd."
Jung also pointed out that Kim visited the Gangseo Fire Station at 5 a.m. to take a photo, gathering firefighters who should have been resting. He remarked, "It's not an exaggeration to call it a 'rest straw.'"
Additionally, Jung criticized Kim for interrupting a performance by a guest singer at a local festival to deliver a speech, questioning, "Is a local festival a venue for the Democratic Party's convention or an election campaign?"
He further condemned Kim for a situation where the vehicle carrying Kim's chief of staff occupied an emergency parking space at a hospital for 30 minutes, stating, "This inconvenienced patients in critical condition."
Jung also expressed strong disapproval of the government's management, claiming, "In various areas such as real estate, stocks, national defense, and public safety, there has been repeated tyranny and mismanagement, igniting public anger, while the ruling party leader's parade of abuse of power adds fuel to the fire."
