◇Anchor> Rep. Lee Hae-sik of the Democratic Party compared representative Lee Jae-myung to a priest of God. The post on social media has become quite big. I'll explain what it's about while looking at the graphic. Rep. Lee Hae-sik. Representative Lee Jae-myung posted a picture of him speaking at the rally in the rain. Underneath it is the movie Gladiator 2, The gladiator. These people who post two pictures together and try to become better human beings are the priests of God and the servants of God. I posted something like this.
After the controversy over whether he was deified, Lee was found guilty of something he didn't even say, but I guess I'm also criticized for something I didn't even say. I posted something like this. I have never mentioned Lee as a priest of God, a servant of God in the sense mentioned by several reporters. I just quoted the text.
I refuted it like this. Rep. Lee Hae-sik, so the priest of God, is not what I said, but this is a metaphor. I protested like this, but this is not deified. Is this what you're saying? What do you think?
◆Jang Ye-chan> Still, since he is a priest of God, the fact that he used this expression as a metaphor itself seems to be an excessive confession of loyalty to representative Lee Jae-myung. Of course, I don't mean to ask the Democratic Party of Korea politicians to comfort and encourage Chairman Lee Jae-myung. That's possible. However, if the metaphor is far from the universal sentiment of the people, it makes viewers frown.
One of the most famous proverbs in society makes so-called pa-ga-ga-ga. To put it simply, what's wrong with people watching because of the excessive fan club's fan sentiment? Making it anti-aircraft while doing it has become an adage that began in the entertainment industry and now applies to the political world.
The leadership of both parties has fandom. Representative Lee Jae-myung or representative Han Dong-hoon. However, it seems necessary to keep in mind that when the fandom or politicians pay too much praise to their representatives and leaders or support them with colorful rhetoric, the universal public is more likely to develop negative perceptions even if they have little feelings.
◇Anchor> I didn't say that I was a priest of God, but if you look at the picture and post of that gladiator, does it mean that the gladiator and CEO Lee Jae-myung look alike?
◆Kim Sang-il> It's related to the picture, and then you said you cited it. Then, you should also tell me the purpose and reason for the citation. Why did you quote me? You have to tell them that so that the people and reporters might have misunderstood. You admit that it was like that, but when you criticize others without anything like that, do you say that I had this intention when I only quoted? You can't say it like this. Why?
That's because the people who saw it and recognized it recognized it that way. Then you have to tell me if that perception is wrong, and the second is what this is for, or for whom, did you post this? Did you post this for the people? I don't think so.
Did you post it for CEO Lee Jae-myung? I don't think that's the case either. Why? Is this helpful to CEO Lee Jae-myung? Is it helpful for the trial? What can I do for you? Or will it help the supporters? I think this was posted for myself. He posted it to be applauded and cheered by the strong support group.
◇Anchor> Isn't it trying to symbolize CEO Lee Jae-myung's image as an image like a gladiator?
◆Kim Sang-il> So if you say so, supporters already have that image. If the middle class tries to give such an image, they are very likely to hate it and be annoyed. And the other side is likely to criticize, saying, "Look at this." Then I don't know what this purpose is, but you'll be misunderstood. How? Oh, you can be misunderstood as saying that you expect CEO Lee Jae-myung to be eliminated in advance, and that you are trying to use the supporters when you are going to do one thing or one place. That's what I think.
◇ Anchor> In the case of former lawmaker Kim Byung-wook, Rep. Lee Hae-sik is not just a single lawmaker but a chief of staff, so he recognized the true nature of representative Lee Jae-myung after every move he made.
◆Jang Ye-chan> That's too much. Former lawmaker Kim Byung-wook is also known as a close aide to Lee Jae-myung because he was a politician in Seongnam. Even if we talk about that, we should purify it with words that fit the people's sentiment. In addition, politicians who are far from Lee Jae-myung, who are not pro-Myeonggye, found out that it was very good, and he was a good person. The effect is doubled when people say that Lee Jae-myung's aides recognized Lee Jae-myung as a priest of God, a servant of God, and a true face, and not many people will hear it right away.
It's the same if you change it to remuneration. It's easy to see the things that his aides, their relatives, and these people are complimenting their leaders. However, politicians who fawn are also criticized by the people, but politicians who are subject to fawning also lose their points from the people even if they stay still.
Conservative and progressive politicians should think of that in a balanced way, but after Lee Jae-myung's imprisonment in the first trial, many Democratic Party members and Lee Jae-myung's supporters are angry. That's why I won't leave a pro-Moon or a non-lawmaker alone, and I'll find out. As such excessive remarks are made, I think it is a happening created by this impatience that I can continue to be supported by party members only when I compete for loyalty within the pro-Myeong community as a reaction to it.
◇ Anchor> If you stand out like that in this case, don't you definitely get points from your supporters?
◆Jang Ye-chan> Even if it makes the general middle class or the people a little frowned upon, it can score points for the strong supporters. That's why I think our politics should think about institutional improvement to prevent a small number of strong supporters or fandom from influencing internal elections and various politics.
◇ Anchor> Rep. Choi Min-hee said, "If the screaming world moves, I will come forward and kill you. He used such violent expressions, but he admitted that he received a lot of calls from reporters today.
◆Kim Sang-il> I think it's right to say that I did a good job of acknowledging. But anyway, this atmosphere itself is something that I've been thinking a lot about these days. Each job exists. But when it comes to doing that job, work ethics is like life. So what is the ethics of politics now? Is it a work ethic to take my interests and power by fawning over a high man? I don't think so.
So these days, all jobs have lost their work ethic and are becoming business. It's a pity that I think it's becoming my business. If Rep. Lee Hae-sik saw this article by former Rep. Kim Byung-wook, he saw the true face of Representative Lee Jae-myung. Then you should be angry about this, too. That's not what I meant. What's wrong with you? You have to say it like this. Isn't it so? You said it didn't mean that.
But we can't talk about this. That's what it means. So I was grateful that former Supreme Court Jang Ye-chan said earlier that conservatives and progressives are doing it, but I'm criticizing our party now, but the conservatives are not easy. There is no work ethic on either side.
The conservatives now go to the president and the first lady, then the progressives go to the party leader. Instead of doing this, I want to restore work ethics for the people.
