Allegations of lax personnel vetting by the Blue House, a decline in the opposition party leader's approval rating, and controversies surrounding ministerial candidates are emerging.
The accusations include allegations of her family's private use of airport VIP rooms and posting social media content featuring clothing with the party name during local elections, which constitutes pre-election campaigning.
Allegations of undisclosed aide lists and hiring of close associates and family members are intensifying criticism of the party's family-centered operation.
This slogan embodies the ideology of 'getting money without working,' raising skeptical views on the founding ideology of the Basic Income Party. This criticism is intensifying when compared to the couple's combined legislative and annual salary levels.
Mentioning the Labor Party's internal investigation results and her past activities with the 'Youth Left,' criticism emerged describing her as a 'politician fostered by an anti-women communist revolutionary underground organization.'
3'. While Song Kang-ho was previously mentioned as creating 'Bulhandang,' it was corrected to clarify that Han Suk-kyu and Choi Min-sik were the lead actors.
This points to the background of her break with the parties she previously belonged to, with internal opposition to her receiving a proportional representation badge from a satellite party being a major reason.
Hearings for the Minister of Economy and Finance and the Minister of SMEs and Startups are scheduled for September 15, and for Kang Shin-chul, Minister of National Defense, and Hong Ji-sun, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, on September 16. However, the hearing schedules for candidates Kim Seung-won and Yong Hye-in have not yet been set. The goal is to complete all hearings by the 24th, before the Chuseok holiday.
Candidate Yong Hye-in's attempt to concurrently hold a ministerial position and a proportional representation badge is stirring controversy. The host predicted that if candidate Yong does not make a decision on her future by this weekend, Representative Lee Jae-myung's approval rating could fall to the low 30s.
The possibility of gift tax evasion on the market price difference created by this 'sub-jeonse' structure is being pointed out. The host characterized this difference as clear gift tax evasion.
The host raised questions about the utility of the vetting checklist and pointed out the limitations of hearing-based vetting using the case of candidate Kim Min-seok. Criticism also emerged regarding the current vetting method, which relies on opposition lawmakers like People Power Party's Joo Jin-woo digging up information.
He argued that foreign investors would only return and the stock market would rise if politics withdrew from the market. This analysis suggests that excessive government intervention in the market undermines market autonomy and erodes foreign investors' trust.
According to a Korea Research survey, the President's approval rating recorded 34.7%, breaking the 35% mark. Reporter Koh Jun-seop analyzed that the approval rating fell faster than expected. Negative evaluations also exceeded 60%, with 'very poor' responses solidifying at 48%, raising the possibility of falling into the low 30s next week, and then the high 20s. This is considered a serious crisis signal for the evaluation of state affairs.
Reporter Koh Jun-seop analyzed that people in their 30s suffered significant losses in the stock market, including ETFs that Kim Yong-bum allegedly created. Additionally, the government's public rental housing policy has a large discrepancy with the actual needs of people in their 30s, contributing to their dissatisfaction. An analysis suggests that the defection of swing voters residing in Seoul is accelerating.
According to a Korea Research survey, the Democratic Party recorded 40.5% and the People Power Party 40.1%, showing nearly identical party approval ratings and a close contest. The host analyzed that the People Power Party's approval rating is rising, influenced by former President Park Geun-hye's message of unity, which helped consolidate the ruling party. Combined with improved discipline within the People Power Party, a 'golden cross' is likely to appear soon.
Trust in the police stands at only 18.6%, while 64.6% reported not trusting them. Concerns about sole police investigations are particularly high, leading to calls for prosecutorial supplementary investigation powers to enhance investigative completeness. In actual cases, it is often through prosecutors' requests for supplementary investigations that proper investigations proceed.
The cause was a text message from Kang, sent to pro-Lee Jae-myung faction's supreme council member Park Seon-won, stating, 'It seems the Jeongcheong faction is targeting lawmaker Kim Ki-pyo. Need to quickly take control.' This was interpreted as an overt display of factional struggle for control over party nominations, leading to immediate action to prevent further controversy.
This is interpreted as an effort to prevent defections and strengthen internal unity. It is also seen as a move to prepare for an emergency countermeasures committee system if approval ratings continue to decline.
Park Ki-hong has a history of controversy involving discrimination against female activists and sexual violence response, making the matter even more problematic. Clear explanations for these allegations are required through the upcoming personnel hearing. This appointment process will likely be difficult to defend against criticisms of lack of transparency and privatization.
The possibility that the Blue House's personnel vetting process was not properly conducted has been raised. Reporter Lee Jae-yi criticized that the Blue House must endure the drop in approval ratings themselves and seemed to have skipped the personnel vetting process entirely. Situations such as ministerial replacements being notified to the individuals involved belatedly highlight flaws in the personnel system. This suggests that a one-dimensional strategy aimed at recovering support from women in their 20s and 30s is backfiring.
With strict personnel vetting standards, including the Justice Party's blacklist, her approval as a minister is expected to face many difficulties. Reporter Lee Jae-yi predicted that while a personnel hearing is needed, her appointment as minister would be difficult.
