[아시아경제 임주형 기자] Jeju Provincial Governor Won Hee-ryong criticized some of the supporters of pro-moon (pro-President Moon Jae-in) who spoke in blasphemy against Kang Won-rae, a singer from the’Clone’ who criticized the Korean quarantine policy, as “horrible violence.”

Earlier, Kang said, “Korea’s quarantine is the world’s best.”

Governor Won shared an article on Kang’s apology in his Facebook post on the 21st, saying, “A citizen who complained of an exhausting daily life finally fell on his knees in pain and pain from an inhuman attack.” He pointed out that there is something called a gold-do.

“Taekwondo and kendo work, but Hapkido and gym are not. It is a fact that the Prime Minister and the President have acknowledged that there are many ambiguities in these quarantine standards.” “It’s impossible to attack by taking coordinates.”

“Is this kind of violence a’spice’ that makes the discussion more interesting?”

‘Seasoning’ is a word previously mentioned by President Moon Jae-in at the time of the 2017 Democratic Party presidential candidate. At that time, controversy arose as some enthusiastic supporters of President Moon sent text bombs, slander comments, and an 18-won donation to the other candidate.

President Moon said in an interview with a media at the time that when he was asked to the effect that’the supporters of Moon’s supporters sent slanderous comments about the opponent’s candidates systematically, he said, “These things can happen if we compete fiercely.” I think it was like a’spice’ that makes the competition more interesting.”

Meanwhile, on the previous day (20th), Mr. Ahn Chul-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, attended a trader meeting held in Itaewon, Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and pointed out the issue of equity in the government’s quarantine standards.

Mr. Kang, who runs a bar in Itaewon, Seoul, said, “K-pop is the best in the world and ranks first on the Billboard chart, but Korea’s quarantine seems to be the lowest in the world.” “You can’t drink and play.”

However, voices of criticism arose among some of the social network users over Kang’s remarks. They poured out criticisms such as “I don’t know that I’m alive thanks to K quarantine” and “I don’t know how to thank” to social network services (SNS) and internet communities. One netizen wrote comments about Kang’s character, such as, “The disabled are not only in the lower body.”

As the controversy grew, Kang posted an apology on his Instagram on the 21st. He said on the day, “I am sorry for causing concern to the people of the Republic of Korea, officials who worked hard on quarantine, and medical staff,” he said. “I am not a politician and I was not in a position to support a specific party, but it is a little regretful that it is interpreted politically.”

“At yesterday’s meeting in Itaewon, when I talked about the grievances of self-employed people with Hongdae, Gangnam Station, and Jongno, etc., my feelings became intense, and I think I wrote the expression’the quarantine policy is inferior’.” I will look forward to this quarantine policy.”
