Kang Shin-chul, Nominee for Minister of National Defense, 'Musical' Remark Controversy

He stated, "We learn the best musicals. Hmm. The current military academies are also our Republic of Korea's military academies. The future military academies are also our Republic of Korea's military academies, not anyone else's. Thank you," avoiding specific comments on particular policy issues.

This rhetoric, referring to past, present, and future military academies as 'the Republic of Korea's military academies,' was seen as an attempt to evade controversial policy questions.

Jung Woo-jin mentioned that Kang Shin-chul, the nominee, was recognized for his professionalism as a soldier, having served as the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Operations Headquarters and Deputy Commander of the ROK-US Combined Forces Command in the past. However, he expressed a critical view of the nominee's current actions.

Kang's career, serving as an ambassador for the current government after retirement and being nominated as a minister, raised doubts about his conviction as a soldier.

The issue of nominee Kang Shin-chul's assets, amounting to 700 million won, was raised, and criticism of his attitude continued. Jung Woo-jin mentioned that the nominee served as an ambassador for the Lee Jae-myung government, suggesting he chose political survival over his conviction as a soldier.

His 'musical-like' rhetoric, which seemed to avoid policy discussions and evade situations, was criticized as an attempt to cater to the regime's tastes.

Nominee Kang Shin-chul's communication style was criticized for being similar to the irrelevant answers given by Koizumi Shinjiro, then Japan's Environment Minister. Jung Woo-jin said that just as Minister Koizumi, despite being intelligent, was famous for his memorable quotes, nominee Kang might have expertise in specific fields but lacks empathy and delivery skills with the public.

Attempts to evade critical situations instead resulted in public ridicule.

Jung Woo-jin recalled that nominee Kang Shin-chul had previously spoken logically about national defense, security, and the ROK-US alliance on YouTube channels. At the time, his remarks were praised as 'a true soldier's words,' effectively addressing important points.

However, it is pointed out that his current stance, advocating for the merger of military academies, lacks the logic of his past. This is interpreted as a result of the nominee's greed for the ministerial position rather than his honor.

Jang Dong-ran strongly criticized nominee Kang Shin-chul's actions, stating, 'He's acting pretentious.' She expressed skepticism about why he, having achieved considerable honor in high positions, would choose to take on a ministerial role and 'get his hands dirty.'

The stark contrast between an elite soldier's honorable career and his current actions was seen as a result of human greed.

It is suggested that nominee Kang could exhibit similar political behavior to former Ambassador Wi Sung-rak, who was criticized for his public remarks in the past.

Controversies, such as the past incident involving the arrest of Palestinian activists, were also mentioned, revealing skepticism about the personnel appointer's political choices.

Jang Dong-ran stated that Wi Sung-rak, being rational, showed a willingness to report properly afterward. In contrast, she predicted that nominee Kang Shin-chul would display an irresponsible attitude at the hearing, saying, 'If I were petty, how petty would I be?'

This comparison of how political figures respond and Kang's future attitude emphasized the value of human assets and the importance of conviction.

Jang Dong-ran stated that she respects the choice of individuals like Wi Sung-rak, nominee Kang Shin-chul, and Professor Lee Byung-tae to join high government positions to 'put on the brakes.' Such participation can offer diverse perspectives in national governance.

However, she pointed out the limitation that political rhetoric can lack sincerity and emphasized the importance of clearly presenting one's convictions and vision.

Jung Woo-jin satirized nominee Kang Shin-chul's hearing, introducing an idea from the chat. He used the analogy, "When Kang Shin-chul is having his hearing, the door on the opposite side opens and Jo Sumi enters," humorously combining the hearing situation with a musical. He critically described the hearing atmosphere by mentioning a duet between Kang Shin-chul and Representative Park Chan-dae.

Jang Dong-ran mentioned recent political issues and the 'Olgong Incident,' emphasizing that the ruling party's unity is essential to overcome the current political crisis. She encouraged responsible party membership to secure the momentum needed to fight against the opposition leader to the end.

She stated that if more responsible party members join and firmly hold their ground, the People Power Party could gain strength and fight with that momentum.

He reiterated the importance of responsible party membership for human resource renewal and stated that he would contribute much to that process.

He also promoted his YouTube channel, 'Freedom and Responsibility.'

Even within the Democratic Party, there is no protection or supportive commentary for Representative Yong Hye-in.

Lee Jae-myung's stubbornness seems to stem from an 'absurd personnel system,' and problematic appointments should be withdrawn, he argued. He also cautioned against the sensationalization of Representative Kim Seung-won's case.

Eyewitness K emphasized that the essence of Representative Kim Seung-won's case lies in the tears of countless retail investors. He mentioned that retail investors are submitting petitions for severe punishment and that their losses should not be forgotten.

If someone obtained a large sum of money, it is argued that the possibility of an undue amount flowing to someone who played a role in the process should be suspected and investigated. This case has been assigned to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and the Yeongdeungpo Police Station is known to have started the investigation.

Doubts were raised about the improper flow of criminal proceeds, and it was added that a thorough reinvestigation is needed to resolve the victims' grievances.
