Lee Jae-myung's Letter to Democratic Party Reps. "Extra Attention to Your Behavior"

Lee Jae-myung, chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, sent a letter to members of the party, asking them to pay special attention to their words and actions.

In his letter, Lee said, "Some lawmakers have recently been referred to the Party Ethics Tribunal, and I hope you understand the inevitable action of the party."

He then pointed out what to do if distrust in the Democratic Party is amplified by wrong words and actions and the driving force to correct the situation of the regime weakens at a time when public anger toward the regime is soaring.

Representative Lee said that to politicians, words are like a soldier's gun, which means that it is powerful, but it also means that it is dangerous, adding that he will try harder as the leader of the party.

Representative Lee's referral to the Ethics Tribunal is interpreted as referring to Representative Kim Young-bae, who criticized him as a "waste of taxpayers' money" ahead of the recent by-election for the head of Busan's Geumjeong-gu District Office, and Min Hyung-bae, who is known to have played golf during the parliamentary audit.
