Political Opposition Demands President Yoon and Other Government Officials Resign Due to Itaewon Crushing Disaster
The bodies were not even cold yet from the Itaewon Crushing Disaster before the political opposition decided to use them to demand the President and other government officials resign:

Only a few hours after the news broke last month about a deadly crowd crush in central Seoul’s Itaewon, Nam Young-hee, vice chief of the Institute for Democracy, a think tank of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), concluded that President Yoon Suk-yeol and his safety minister were to blame and demanded they step down immediately.

The comment, which she made when police and emergency workers were still scrambling to gather the facts, was a grim sign of how the tragic incident, which killed 156 people and injured 197 others, could be used ― and exploited ― politically.
Two days after the end of a national mourning period for the victims and their families, Rep. Lee Jae-myung, leader of the DPK, called for the resignations of all relevant top officials, including Prime Minister Han Duck-soo.
“The president, who is responsible for this disaster and all state affairs, should apologize sincerely to the people and the victims,” Lee said during a meeting at the National Assembly in Seoul, Monday. “Taking responsibility comes with action rather than words … There should be a sweeping reshuffle, including the resignation of the prime minister.”
Lee also called for a new investigation into the case under an independent counsel, saying that police and prosecutors under Yoon cannot be trusted.
You can read more at the link, but I guess the DPK expected the President to be out there personally conducting crowd control in Itaewon.
Shameless political hacks, bitterly cruel to the bereaved, typical communist sympathizers.
Those are the people who deserve an all-expense-paid (one way) ride to 3000 feet in a helicopter.
But the leftist media will try to repeat the Sewol blame hoax again and again. They will lie about anything. Their only truth is that which advances the decline of South Korea.
Yoon is no better or worse than the people who voted for him. However, the South Korean populace is being groomed by their media to become crybabies who want an iron fist forcing them to stand up, sit down, or kneel like the trained puppets who worship Kim Jong Un.
Shame on anyone who follows that path. And shame on their parents for raising such intellectually-challenged offspring.
Government is not compassion it’s jack-booted compulsion. Some is needed to act as a referee between citizens and protect borders and commerce. Too much invariably leads to despotism.
Anyone who disagrees either has too short a memory or wants you all to be serfs.
We (nearly all of us) had governments that prevented people going to church, work, shopping, without a face diaper and/or an experimental mRNA clot-shot.
Do better than this, South Korea. Reject the traitors trying to make you throw away your Liberty in an attempted catharsis about senseless deaths on Halloween.
Why not? He’s a useless Ye-sir-Uncle-Sam cock sucking dick who doesn’t do anything. He might as well be useful.
Created event for political gain, just like the Sewol
I wouldn’t put it that way.
The media and public opinion has left Pres. Yoon alone when it comes to the Itaewon tragedy.
And the DPK knows this and also knows their rhetoric will fall on deaf ears.
However they are the opposition party and have the need to make some noise to get some media attention and show their supporters that they are alive and kicking.
So, despite GIKorea’s efforts to sensationalize this, I wouldn’t buy too much into the noise that the DPK is making.
