Today (18th), at the Gyeonggi State Audit of the National Assembly Administrative Safety Committee, Governor Kim Dong-yeon and former governor Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, engaged in a war of words against the ruling party lawmaker who criticized him.



In an inquiry today, Rep. Cho Eun-hee, from the People's Power, said, "With respect to Governor Kim's pledge to establish a special autonomous province in northern Gyeonggi, 'If there is no support for the southern region, life in the northern region will inevitably be financially difficult.'" He said, "If I break the will of the president and do that, wouldn't the Democratic Party's presidential candidate be Kim Dong-yeon?"



In response, Governor Kim responded, "I will persuade President Lee," and "I do not agree with the previous governors, whether conservative or liberal, using this matter for political purposes. It has nothing to do with the presidency and is intended to develop North Korea."



Then, "I said on the broadcast that I agreed with this representative that the Daejang-dong project was the largest public interest restitution project since Dangun, but do you still think so?" When Assemblyman Cho asked, "It was clearly effective in public interest restitution."



In particular, Rep. Cho said, "During the fire at Hwaseong Pharmaceutical Company in April, Governor Kim played soccer at Ajou University, and when CEO Jae-myung Lee had a fire at the Coupang Logistics Center in Icheon, he felt a déjà vu and tteokbokki 'mukbang' in Masan." I did.



Then, as Governor Kim continued to answer, when Rep. Cho took issue with the order, he said, "Why are you holding the tail?

Do you keep talking about Lee Jae-myung?

I am Dongyeon Kim,” he raised his voice.



Rep. Cho laughed as if it was ridiculous, and Governor Kim protested, saying, "The soccer game has been scheduled and the fire has been properly controlled.



In this regard, Chairman Lee Chae-ik also cautioned Governor Kim, saying, "It is not appropriate to use the expression 'catch the pod' to the question of a member of the council.



Governor Kim took a step back and said, "I apologize."
