Criticism aimed at opponents is also getting fiercer.

The Democratic Party criticized the photo of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol’s shoes for revealing an arrogant sense of privilege, and over Lee Jae-myung’s remarks about an apartment valued at 230 million won in Gimpo, the people’s strength attacked, saying, “Governor of Gyeonggi, and the natives don’t even know the house price in Gimpo.”

Kim Ji-kyung is a joke.

Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon’s Mugunghwa train, which runs across the country to promote policy promises.

This is a photo of candidate Yoon receiving a report from the spokesperson sitting next to him.

But without taking off my shoes, I put my feet on the seat in front of me.

When critics came out saying, ‘No manners and ignorance’ or ‘no manners and ignorance’, since I can’t ‘bear’, Yoon’s side explained that it was uploaded for a while because of leg cramps while moving for a long time.

“I had some discomfort, such as mild convulsions, so I had to ask for forgiveness from those around me for a while and then raise my leg for a while and then lower it…”

The Democratic Party said, “The problem of ‘shoes’ is that they give poor false explanations,” and said, “If you were really cramped, why didn’t you take off your uncomfortable shoes?”

The essence of the problem is the arrogant sense of privilege of Candidate Yoon, who has spent his entire life as a prosecutor.

“The essence of the ‘shoefoot controversy’ is the privilege and disrespect for the basics of public order.”

Candidate Yoon said that he did not pay close attention and said he would be careful in the future.

“I think it’s right not to do things that people don’t want. I’m going to do that so I’ll always be more careful.”

Candidate Jae-myung Lee became controversial for his remarks about house prices in Gimpo during a TV debate last Friday.

“It’s not about tens of pyeong, but about 20 pyeong, 230 million won…”

“In which area are there 230 million dollar bills? 20 pyeong.”

“It is possible enough for Gimpo or something like that.”

In response, a civic group in the Gimpo area opposed it as “the owner of a unique sense of reality” and criticized that the people’s power had served as the governor but did not even know the price of an apartment in the area.

“The anger of the citizens of Gimpo is skyrocketing. How can someone who even served as the governor of Gyeonggi Province do not know the price of apartments in Gimpo?”

Candidate Jae-myung Lee explained that he was referring to the sale price of the newly supplied apartment, not the market price, and asked to see the remarks at the time of the discussion.

“The construction cost is only about half of the current market price, so I’m going to tell you that I will do it at that price.”

Candidate Lee said, “I will do my best not to misrepresent my message to the people.”
