"When Retired, One Should Stay Silent..." Park Geun-hye's Closest Aide Yoo Young-ha Targets Hong Jun-pyo

[Financial News] Yoo Young-ha, a member of the People Power Party, targeted former Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo, urging him to stop criticizing the party.

On the 29th, Yoo, who is a close aide to former President Park Geun-hye, wrote on his social networking service (SNS), "I went to early voting with former President Park," and "I read an article in the car on the way back where former Mayor Hong criticized our party."

Yoo said, "It's customary to stay silent after retirement, but I don't understand what lingering attachment makes him keep criticizing our party," adding, "As former Mayor Hong hopes, our party will not collapse, so stop worrying unnecessarily and don't meddle in other parties' affairs. Just relax elegantly in Hawaii."

Earlier, former Mayor Hong wrote on his SNS, "I barely survived during Park Geun-hye's impeachment, but this time it will be hard to survive," and "Don't blame me or Lee Jun-seok. It's all your own doing," which seems to be a reaction to his criticism of the People Power Party.

Yoo said, "Let me be clear, we will not lose in this presidential election, and even if we do, the party will recover and rise again," adding, "I hope you stop paying attention to our party. What lingering attachment remains to the place you left, or have you suddenly developed affection?"

He continued, "Remember that curses and slanders all come back to you, and stop here," adding, "You've shown enough disgraceful behavior, so stop spreading the fishy smell. It's really annoying at the end of the election when there's no time left."
