Rhyu Si-min Again Attacks President Lee: “Doing Exactly What Yoon Did ... He Could Even Fail to Serve Out His Term in an Extreme Case”

[Financial News] “Yoon Suk Yeol, the beetle, dismantled his own house completely, and now the current government and President Lee Jae Myung are doing exactly the same.”
Rhyu Si-min, a leading commentator in the progressive camp, said this on the 28th on YouTube’s “Park Si-young TV”: “Today, I’ll speak in an elevated way, like Mr. Fabre. From Fabre’s perspective, many animals sometimes harm themselves.”
Describing the current state of the government and ruling party, he said, “We’re seeing phenomena like pods of dolphins rushing onto a sandbar and dying en masse,” and added, “When I look at those people, they’re heading toward death, and I don’t know why.”
Rhyu then mentioned the president’s approval rating, which had fallen into the 30% range, saying, “It means the president has not won the public’s confidence,” and added, “In an extreme case, as with Park Geun-hye or Yoon Suk Yeol, a president may not serve out his term.”
He expressed concern, saying, “It’s like a ship caught in an opposing current. Once the president loses the public’s confidence, the ship could capsize on the water at any time.”
On the reasons for the drop in approval ratings, he said, “There are problems with all three: people, political direction, and policy. The biggest problem is the disintegration of the camp. The more active the ‘New Lee Jae-myung’ voices become, the more isolated President Lee is bound to be,” he assessed.
He also mentioned Democratic Party of Korea leader Kim Min-seok’s pledge to raise the approval rating by 10% by his 100th day in office. Rhyu scoffed, saying, “He probably didn’t believe what he was saying,” and added, “He should convince people that restoring the camp would improve their chances of becoming lawmakers and show results, but Kim has done the opposite. He’s leading the effort to tear the camp apart by creating things like Minty 07 (the Democratic Party TV channel on YouTube).”
He also addressed criticism from President Lee’s fervent supporters, who said he had “become quite wealthy through stock manipulation involving SillaJen.” He said, “My assets are less than 10 billion won. Not even half that (5 billion won).”
