The red letters "externalism" were written on the corners. The three-page document is titled 'Opinion Trend Report on Korea-Japan Conflict'. The report was made by the Democratic think tank Democratic Institute of the Democratic Party along with the ruling party on July 30 and emailed to all 128 members of the ruling party. It was a report analyzing the polls conducted by the Korea Institute of Social Public Opinion from July 26 to 27, but also included information that the Korea Institute of Social Polling did not directly publish in the July report.

● Democratic Researcher "Responding to Japan-Japan Conflict… Positive Election Impact"

Since then, the ruling and opposition parties have been busy preparing measures. In the process, the Democratic Party has criticized the Free Korea Party for its name, "Pro-il", mainly for criticizing the government's foreign policy to Japan. We are not trying to fight with the Japanese government, but we are focusing on internal shots. The South Korean party, which has been criticized, also accused the Blue House, the government and the ruling party that it is a child politician obsessed with a tight pro-Japanese frame, saying that it will only rely on encouraging anti-Japanese sentiment when diplomatic solutions are urgent.
The core of the Democratic Institute's report was that the recent opposition party's response to the recent Japan-Japan conflict will have a strong impact on the general election. The key phrase on the first line of the first page of the report illustrates this. "Responding to the recent conflict between Korea and Japan will have a strong impact on the general election," and "The principle of separating the historical and economic issues is important." In particular, the Democratic Party, as well as the 50s, middle, and shamans, preferring to respond to the principle of 'swing', and think that the response to the issue between Korea and Japan will affect the general election. Analyzed.

The third page of the report further refines this description. The more our support group thinks that the opposition party's response to the current situation will affect the general election, he said. "In the light of public opinion that prefers the principle response, the election effect will be positive." As the ruling party has analyzed earlier, it emphasizes the principled response by separating historical and economic issues, which, in light of the preference, suggests that this situation and response will have a positive impact on the general election on April 15 next year. Will

The report also analyzed the effects of Democratic 'pro-Japanese criticism' on the Korean Party. The Democratic supporters overwhelmingly agree with this 'pro-Japanese criticism', but the shamans have less empathy. It was also less likely to be opposed to a 'conflict' frame rather than a policy issue.
● Are you enthusiastic about counting votes in national crisis situations?

Since the ruling party has always emphasized that all of Japan should work together to respond to the crisis with the 'one team' after Japan's export control measures, the democratic researcher, the ruling party's think tank, delivers the trend of public opinion conflict between Korea and Japan. The situation confirmed in this report that the analysis was positive. Regarding whether it is inappropriate or not, an official of the Korea Institute of Democratic Researchers replied, 'There are many people who support the principle response. The purpose is to analyze the phenomenon and make a forecast based on him. However, the analysis that such a response would have a positive effect on the general elections, not just an internal analysis, but also summarized the results and sent them to all members of the ruling party in the parliament who are busy with the district. Can be interpreted as another issue beyond gun analysis.

In the midst of the national crisis, criticism immediately came over whether the ruling party was counting tickets. And the Democratic Researcher texted reporters and expressed their regret. "Inappropriate content was distributed improperly," the Democratic Institute explained. "Inappropriate content has gone out without sufficient internal review." He also told them that they had taken caution and warning measures. "Democratic researchers do not agree to link the conflict with elections," he added. "We will be more cautious not to mislead the investigation and analysis reports that are not official positions of the party or researchers." It was explained that the report, which was written by the Democratic Researcher named after the Democratic Researcher and sent to lawmakers, was not the official position of the party or the researcher. Democratic spokesmen also acknowledged that the report was inappropriate, but explained that it was not officially reported or ordered by the party's top committee.
● Director Yang Jung-cheol "I can not do without understanding"

Yang Jung-cheol, the head of the Democratic Research Institute, said that he would make the Democratic Research Institute a general election logistic office shortly after he took office. It was no wonder that the arrow was pouring on him as much as the chief engineer. In recent years, the media has been attracting attention because of the fact that it has been 'widely active' by increasing exchanges with local governments, companies, and overseas think tanks. In a private meeting inside the Democratic Party held early in the morning the next morning, the Democratic Researcher Yang Jung-cheol was his inspector as the head of the agency, and Lee Hae-chan, a deputy Democratic Party president, actually warned both leaders to pay more attention to the election poll. Known. Opposition parties have not ceased, including whether they are a democracy researcher or a researcher of the People's Affairs Institute, or whether they should dismiss President Yang Jeong-cheol immediately. The Blue House and the ruling party were trying to drag the consequences of Japan's export restrictions until the April 15 general election. Criticism was also lined up in the Democratic Party members' bulletin board. The contents are absurd, but critics have turned to both directors, including writings asking for resignation, saying they can retreat in such a severe situation, and creating a discord. The five-sentence position that was sent by the Korea Institute of Democratic Research also clarified that this report was not the official position of the party or the researcher, so I wanted to ask both leaders directly about the issue.

On this day, Yang attended a special lecture invited by Managing Director Song Seung-min of the Chinese Institute of Development Strategy at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. After the meeting, the reporters who were waiting outside asked questions to both directors. The Democratic Institute expressed regret, but when asked what kind of regret it expressed, Yang said briefly, "It was all." The report came out in the name of the researcher and asked if it was different from the researcher's position. "You can understand it as it is." The additional question that the context is not well understood says, "If you don't understand it, you can't do it." I did. I was curious about whether the report sent under the researcher's name was not the position of the researcher, what was inappropriate in the purpose and preparation process, and what the purpose of the report was. I could not hear the story.
As expected, the Japanese government took steps to exclude Korea from the white list. The ruling party has declared "economic warfare" with the Japanese government. Right now, the government offices gathered together and headed to prepare for mid- and long-term measures, and yesterday morning, the Supreme Council, the Democratic Party's highest decision-making body, said, "Difficulty started by Japan's abnormal economic aggression," "anti-civilization, anti-historical and anti-cultural violence." The hard-line stance continued. The Democratic Party's Special Committee on Response to Japan's Economic Invasion also mentions additional measures, such as expanding travel bans in Tokyo, Japan.

I do not want to believe that there is a 'special hidden intention' in the campaign against Japan, which is gradually raising the level with one voice in the ruling party. I don't want to assume that we are aiming to win the general election and decide how to respond to Japan's actions. However, if the inner mind, which may be interpreted as 'special intention', is known to the world, and if it is not desired to be interpreted as 'special intention', then the duty of the governing party and the democratic researcher to explain and persuade responsibly, not to avoid it.
