On the 30th, Ki-Hyun Kim, representative of People’s Power, argued that a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force frigate with a self-defense flag similar to the rising sun flag entered the country in connection with the controversy over the arrival of a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force frigate in Busan Port during the Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun administrations as well as the Moon Jae-in administration.
On this day, CEO Kim posted on his social network service (SNS) Facebook, ‘It wasn’t the Rising Sun Flag then, is it the Rising Sun Flag now? I posted an article titled, ‘It’s very difficult to see that the Democratic Party has no other strategy other than the ‘anti-Japanese agitation’ card that is brought out in every crisis.
He said, “The Democratic Party’s ‘overlaying pro-Japanese frame’ toward the government has begun to work again.” It looks like it will be a waste of time,” he insisted.
“It is said that a Japanese Self-Defense Force ship that entered Busan Port yesterday to participate in a multinational maritime interdiction exercise raised a ‘self-defense flag’,” he said. I am complaining that I have trampled on my pride.”
He criticized, “However, the fact that the Self-Defense Force ships entered Korea with self-defense flags on during the DJ administration and the Roh Moo-hyun administration, as well as during the Moon Jae-in administration in 2017, remains openly as a record.”
At the same time, he said, “I can’t help but feel sorry for the Democratic Party’s left-handed move, which has turned even the presidents produced by the party into ‘pro-Japanese remnants’ because the staff were intoxicated by the pleasure of ‘pro-Japanese driving’ and ‘anti-Japanese bamboo song’.” .
He also asked, “How desperate are you to bring yourself to ruin like this?”
Representative Kim said, “In addition, the Moon Jae-in administration at the time did not inform the media of the self-defense flag raised by the Self-Defense Force and did not disclose the photo, so it is even more nerve-wracking.”
He then ordered, “The Democratic Party hopes to issue a comment today, saying, ‘President Moon Jae-in apologizes for turning a blind eye to Japanese militarism and trampling on the national pride in 2017 without the people’s knowledge.’”
“It is the same flag,” he said. However, it was not the Rising Sun Flag at that time, but did it suddenly become the Rising Sun Flag after the inauguration of the government? I hope you face the cynicism of the people who ask if there is any other strategy besides ‘anti-Japanese agitation’.”
