After the confirmation hearing, President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating has sharply declined, intensifying signs of internal dissent within the administration and conflicts within the opposition party.
Analysts say the severity is greater because this occurred before public sentiment from the confirmation hearing was fully reflected.
Concerns are also being raised that such a shift in public sentiment will further negatively impact discussions around the upcoming Chuseok holiday.
According to reporter Jang Yoon-sun's investigation, personnel currently working in the Blue House are looking for other jobs. This indicates that key figures are seeking to depart even in the early stages of the administration.
Despite the current administration being in office for only one year, there are evaluations that it is already entering a 'dead duck' state, beyond just a lame duck period.
Various reactions emerged online regarding Assemblywoman Seo Young-kyo's tearful scene.
The nominee's side asserted that while the business was operated in a family cooperative form, its actual purpose was purely for the continuous care of his son, not for profit.
My son did this so that he could continue to receive care with those children even when they turn 20 or 30, not for profit or as a money-making venture. That is absolutely not the case.
Nominee Kim Seung-won sparked controversy by responding 'I'm sorry, I'm a liberal arts major' when asked about the results of a new drug verification experiment. This remark led to criticism that there were serious problems with his comprehension and judgment as a Minister of Justice.
In particular, his evasive answer to a key question about whether he recognized the possibility of poison was seen as raising concerns about the nominee's lack of qualifications. Some even questioned whether the nominee had been swindled by a con artist.
Suspicions have been raised that the nominee directly attempted to lobby the Minister of Food and Drug Safety to induce clinical approval, which led to a surge in stock prices.
Commentator Sohn Soo-jo argued that Kim Seung-won's lobbying was a key link connecting clinical approval and stock manipulation. Connections with stock manipulation forces like Ssangbangwool's Kim Seong-tae were also mentioned, suggesting the possibility of hidden powers beyond simple individual misconduct.
Criticism arose that the Democratic Party was attempting to systematically conceal suspicions related to Kim Hyun-ji.
Past cases where broadcast segments or reports related to Kim Hyun-ji were canceled or blocked were mentioned, with critics pointing out that the Democratic Party's reaction further amplifies suspicions.
Rep. Kwon Ye-young of the People Power Party pointed out that the Democratic Party reacts emotionally and overly sensitively to three topics: 'Hyunji,' 'May 18th,' and 'restarting trials.' She assessed that People Power Party lawmakers effectively used these 'trigger buttons' to target the Democratic Party.
This is being defined not as a simple mistake, but as an organized attempt to steal information.
Given that a professional camera was used, critics argue it appears to have been deliberately filmed. This incident raises the need for legal action and points to the nominee's lack of ability in managing aides.
Media Today, OhmyNews, and MBC were all sued at the Press Arbitration Commission over this matter, but all lost.
Commentator Sohn Soo-jo criticized the aide's pretense of innocence after filming and assessed that this incident was used as part of a framing tactic.
This is a sharp drop of 5.3 percentage points compared to the previous survey.
Concurrently, negative evaluations rose by 5.5 percentage points, clearly showing a shift in public sentiment. The possibility that some of the public sentiment from the confirmation hearing day was reflected during the survey period is raised, and it is predicted that entering the 20% approval rating range is only a matter of time.
This indicates a critical view of the current administration by mentioning the similarity to a past situation where he was isolated and abandoned within his own camp.
It is interpreted that 'escape from the Nampo Line' attempts have already begun within the left-wing camp. It was also pointed out that political issues from that time, such as the Hormuz dispatch, overlap with the current situation.
Commentator Seonwoo Yoon-ho emphasized that this matter needs to be watched closely until the end.
It is pointed out that this case could lead to issues of fulfilling political promises and trustworthiness.
Rep. Kim Min-seok began to voice his independent opinions by launching 'MinTV'.
At a time when President Lee Jae-myung should be in the spotlight, other figures rushing to assert their presence suggests that a mass exodus has already begun within the Democratic Party. The psychological competition among potential presidential candidates vying for power after Lee Jae-myung is at play, and even left-wing YouTubers are joining the trend of exposing the current administration's misdeeds.
These movements indicate a weakening of President Lee Jae-myung's leadership and a wavering of the Democratic Party's internal cohesion. Individuals are observed building their own channels and attempting to shape public opinion to solidify their political standing.
These movements are expected to be significant variables that could bring about major changes in the future political landscape of the Democratic Party.
Rep. Kwon Ye-young pointed out that this event was not about regional disparagement, but rather about administrative waste and irresponsible operation by the local government.
Regarding the argument by some that public criticism is being dismissed as 호남 (Honam region) hatred, she countered that it is a legitimate criticism of clear administrative inefficiency.
Commentator Sohn Soo-jo encouraged participation from all citizens who can attend, emphasizing the importance of uniting voices.
Immediately after the broadcast, PenNMike provided a link for the 'PenNMike Five-Line Poem Challenge' in a pinned comment, encouraging readers' interest and participation. This challenge is an event to strengthen communication with viewers and induce their involvement.
Additionally, the subscription and promotion of Rep. Kwon Ye-young's YouTube channel 'Tantan Daero' were also carried out. This is part of an effort to create synergy between channels and reach more viewers.
