Kim Tae-nyeon, acting representative of the Democratic Party, was caught dozing at the 6th West Sea Protection Day commemoration ceremony on the 26th in honor of the soldiers of the Cheonan ship. They commented criticizing that the people’s power was “open insult to soldiers of the Sunkuk”. Acting representative Kim apologized, saying, “We are sorry” on the date of the controversy.
On this day, Daejeon Kim attended the West Sea Protection Day event held at the Navy’s 2nd Fleet Command in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi-do. During the speech of President Moon Jae-in, Acting President Kim looked as if he was closing his eyes and shaking his head for a while. This appearance was broadcast live on TV and YouTube.
In his speech at the time, President Moon was delivering the message, “Now, it is time for both the South, North and the United States to work hard to continue the dialogue.”
Hong Jong-ki, deputy spokesman of the Central Line of Power of the People’s Forces, strongly criticized it as “the level of open insults beyond having no feelings for the sacrifices of military soldiers.” He also said, “A scene showing the ruling party’s heart toward the 46 flower-like youths who were buried in the West Sea due to North Korea’s bombing of Cheonan.”
In this regard, Acting Kim said, “I went through intensive schedules such as the National Assembly supplementary administration and Busan schedule, and I was momentarily fatigued by attending the event.”
This year’s ceremony to celebrate the Day of Protection of the West Sea also raised controversy by setting up guidelines to exclude incumbent members of the National Assembly from being invited by a re-election by-election. Eventually, it was criticized by opposition parties such as the power of the people and readjusted the scope of the invitation.
