“I take the people’s reprimands seriously. We will work on government affairs with a lower attitude and a heavier sense of responsibility. We will strive to fulfill the urgent needs of the people, such as overcoming the corona, economic recovery and stability of people’s livelihood, and liquidation of corruption in real estate.” On the 8th, the day after the ruling party’s re-election defeat, President Moon Jae-in made this brief stance through spokesman Kang Min-seok. Adverbs such as “Strictly, more, more, more desperate” were added to each sentence. The atmosphere is reducing the severity of election defeat. An official at the Blue House explained, “What can you say other than saying that it is a heavy responsibility with a low attitude?” “Please understand that you have taken the reprimand seriously.” However, the message that specifically what went wrong and how it will change is a missing message, which does not reach the public sentiment calling for a full renewal. President Moon recognized that his lack of overcoming Corona 19, economic recovery and stability of people’s livelihoods, and liquidation of corruption in real estate were the reasons for the chilling public sentiment after a year. While talking about’removal of corruption in real estate’, it refrained from the expression’accumulation’, which can reduce the current government’s responsibility due to accumulated problems from the past. The Blue House drew a line that President Moon’s position does not mean a change in policy or a renewal of staff. It is recognized that only stabilizing the Corona 19 situation and the unstable real estate market is the solution to all the angry public sentiment. Restructuring of personnel is expected to be slightly more reorganized than the reorganization of the Blue House staff. Another Cheong Wa Dae official said, “It is also time to leave the election after the election, and if there is a demand from the people for the final outcome of the state administration, we will (greet) with a new perspective.” It is interpreted as a means of appointing a more novel personnel, reflecting the election results, while restructuring to a predetermined level, including the prime minister. However, angry public sentiment is demanding a wider change. According to the results of the national index survey (with 95% confidence level and ±3.1% point of error), Moon Jae-in after the by-election by Embrain Public, Casestat Research, Korea Research, and Korea Research surveyed 1004 voters nationwide on the last 5-7 days. 86% of respondents said that the government’s state management should be partially or completely revised. In the real estate policy evaluation, the negative evaluation was 80%, overwhelming the positive evaluation (16%). As for the mistaken point of real estate policy, 53% of respondents answered’real estate price increase’, followed by illegal speculation by public officials (31%), and transactions with public sentiment and other passport personnel (6%). The opposition party pointed out, “It is not something to be passed on as a formal apology, an ambiguous investigation that has always been repeated, such as’heavy responsibility’ and’severity’.” Spokesman Kim Eun-hye said, “Do you have any plans to carry out a’front renewal’ of the state administration, which ruined the country through incompetence and corruption, and caused the people to shed blood tears in the hearts of the people due to the hypocrisy of Nambul, and the total resignation of the cabinet? President Moon Jae-in raised the level of the offensive, saying, “What will you change?” By Lee Wan, staff reporter, Seo Young-ji, [email protected]
