The Korean opposition party is not happy with President Moon’s latest interview:

Members of the country’s conservative opposition bloc have criticized President Moon Jae-in’s recent interview with Time magazine, taking issue with Moon’s description of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un as honest, enthusiastic and determined, as well as the timing of the article’s publication on Thursday, the day before the 71st anniversary of the outbreak of the 1950-53 Korean War.

Yoo Seong-min of the main opposition People Power Party (PPP), a former four-term lawmaker and former presidential candidate in the 2017 election, posted on Facebook Thursday that Moon’s courting of Kim is delusional and upsets South Korean people, especially considering North Korea has issued a series of statements mocking Moon and his peace efforts.

“Who is Kim Jong-un’s honesty, passion and determination for? Is it for North Korean people? Is it for South Korean people? Or is it for North Korea’s nuclear missiles?” Yoo said. “The appearance of the President being swayed at Kim Jong-un despite so many humiliations is frustrating as a South Korean citizen.”

Every election counts. Until the crooks are the ones counting the votes.
