"'Shut down Ilbe' comment draws Lee Jun-seok's rebuke: 'The complex of Ilbe's top output'

\r\n
[Financial News] After President Lee Jae-myung said that the government should consider shutting down hate sites such as Ilbe Storehouse, Lee Jun-seok, leader of the RP, criticized him, saying, "The person the president should be looking at, reflecting on, and scolding every day is not Starbucks, Netanyahu, or Ilbe. It is President Lee Jae-myung in the mirror, the very best output from Ilbe."
In a post on social networking service (SNS) on the 24th, Lee said, "The scale of a person in power is most clearly revealed when he cannot control petty anger."
He added, "Ruling parties are usually strong in local elections because they can promise long-awaited regional projects with administrative power and budget authority. If record-breaking excess tax revenue is expected to pile up on the back of a semiconductor boom, a normal ruling party should use that money to solve local social overhead capital (SOC), housing, and transportation issues and dominate the election field."
He pointed out, "Yet with local elections just around the corner, President Lee Jae-myung's gaze is fixed on Starbucks stores, Netanyahu's arrest warrant, and shutting down Ilbe Storehouse." He added, "When a ruler obsesses over personal revenge rather than state affairs, he becomes a laughingstock."
Lee wrote, "The language of private punishment that he wielded as mayor of Seongnam, saying 'If you get caught, you're done,' is now back in the hands of the nation's highest power." He continued, "If the president becomes a sage ruler, Ilbe will lose its place. In a society where politics does its job and people's lives improve, Ilbe-style cynicism will be eradicated."
He also explained, "The more he keeps aiming public power at that tiny target, driven by his own complex of admitting that he came from Ilbe, the more that target gains the aura of a martyr."
He added, "What the public wants from the president is not something as trivial as shutting down Ilbe Storehouse. It is justice, where anyone who commits a crime stands trial; a ladder that lets young people take out a loan and buy a small home; and an ordinary daily life in which buying a cup of coffee at a neighborhood cafe is not judged through a political lens. Yet the person who can solve these three things, and the person who is ultimately blocking them, are the same one person."
