Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo posted on SNS, "Even if it's late, you have to admit and correct your mistakes, but if you keep dragging them, you will only lose public trust."
Mayor Hong also wrote, "When an incident occurs, you always have to break through it head-on. If you lie to avoid a difficult moment, lies beget lies, and things get bigger and bigger."
It is interpreted that Mayor Hong's post was aimed at the controversy surrounding President Yoon Seok-yeol's slanderous remarks during his overseas trip.
Earlier, a scene in which President Yoon said, "If the National Assembly does not approve these XXs, what should I do?" was caught on a reporter's camera.
The media reported that he said, 'What should I do because Biden is embarrassed?' However, President Kim Eun-hye's office and conservative chief explained that it was 'if it blows', not 'Biden'.
Mayor Hong pointed out, "The current reality of the country is pitiful," and pointed out, "There is no controversy over some big national challenge, only happenings and gossips are covering the country."
Also, as if aimed at President Yoon, "Didn't you choose because you knew you were immature in politics from the moment you were elected?" added.
