Attempt to expel Rep. Lee Jin-sook sparks fierce backlash

This is interpreted as a criticism of attempts to dilute the essential meaning of May 18 and exploit it politically.

This can be seen as an assertion that achieving national consensus through healthy discussion about May 18 is important.

This debate was pursued with the goal of deeply understanding and reinterpreting the essence of the May 18 Gwangju Democratization Movement.

It was emphasized that the presentation content of the debate hosted by Rep. Lee Jin-sook attempted historical and ideological reinterpretation rather than making extreme claims. Cast member Jung Woo-jin stated, "They raised the issue that there is no historical view based on healthy self-esteem about how Korea was created and how we protected this country." He reported that the absence of a Korean historical perspective was questioned.

The presentation involved a reinterpretation based on the facts of excessive suppression during the Gwangju crackdown, and emphasized the theory of Honam and Juche-ideology faction combined, and the need for regional growth.

This is explained as not merely an attempt to deny May 18, but an intention to restore a healthy sense of self-esteem regarding Korean history and re-examine May 18 from various perspectives.

Cast member Jung Woo-jin pointed out, "Ultimately, this is nothing more than a political offensive by someone who feels burdened by such discussions and tries to silence them." He criticized it as a political offensive to 'silence' opposing views.

He emphasized that the value of a liberal conservative party lies in discussion and communication, and criticized the lack of discussion and uncritical acceptance within the People Power Party itself.

Cast member Lee Beom-seok stated, "First, it's virtually impossible because it requires two-thirds of the total number of lawmakers," explaining that the expulsion of a National Assembly member requires the approval of two-thirds or more of the incumbent members.

This suggests that May 18 is not the exclusive property of a specific political force and should be respected as a historical fact.

Criticism was raised that dealing with political disagreements through expulsion is excessive. Cast member Lee Beom-seok said, "One should counter debate with debate, not by expelling a National Assembly member." He pointed out that responding to a debate issue with political expulsion is inappropriate.

This is interpreted as criticism of an excessive measure detached from public opinion, and an act that harms a healthy debate culture.

Cast member Lee Beom-seok stated, "Wasn't it the government that tried to blow up that entire island? I think what's happening now is effectively no different from that."

He interpreted the government's excessive offensive as an attempt to cover up certain matters, citing the incident in 'One Piece' where an island itself disappears while exploring the Void Century.

Criticism was raised regarding the controversy over doxxing related to Rep. Lee Jin-sook. Cast member Jung Woo-jin said, "Not just the politician, but even her secretary is being doxxed using media outlets now." He pointed out that not only Rep. Lee Jin-sook but also her secretary are targets of malicious doxxing.

This is criticism that indiscriminate attacks based on false information have gone too far, and expresses concern that attacks on politicians are extending to peripheral figures like secretaries.

He particularly stressed that the exhibition and screening of performances are also subject to legal punishment, pointing out that the claims made at the rock festival clearly have the potential to violate the law.

He criticized that it is unfair to strictly discuss even expulsion for a specific politician's remarks about May 18, while condoning the spread of false information that may violate the May 18 Special Act at an event hosted by a local government and attended by its mayor.
