”Kim Moon-soo is pro-Japan” ”Lee Jae-myung is pro-North Korea, pro-China” ... Negative attacks intensify in South Korea

On the 25th, eight days before the June 3 presidential election in South Korea, the "negative battle" is intensifying in the political world. The Democratic Party of Korea, the largest opposition party, has announced that Kim Moon-soo of the ruling People Power Party has
The ruling party has cornered Democratic Party candidate Kim Moon-soo as a "pro-Japan" and criticized Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung for "clearly stating a pro-North Korea, pro-China stance."
The latest "battle" began with the Democratic Party. A spokesman for the Democratic Party's election campaign committee said of candidate Kim on the same day,
Please give us a clear answer as to what nationality our ancestors had during the Japanese Empire era.
"Why has he been unable to answer such a simple question for more than two weeks?" he said. "Candidate Kim is steeped in a pro-Japanese view of history and is trying to turn Korea into a pro-right wing.
In response, a spokesman for the ruling party's election campaign committee said of candidate Lee, "You have said that 'the re-election of President Donald Trump is a problem.'
Candidate Lee handle the tariff negotiations properly?" He continued, "No matter how pro-China and pro-North Korea Lee is, can he strengthen South Korea's security without the ROK-US alliance?
"Whatever thoughts he has in his head, that is his freedom. However, the official statement of the presidential candidate of the No. 1 party in the National Assembly carries a different weight," he said.
He also said, "Candidate Lee has yet to clarify his position on his past criticism of the US military in Korea as an 'occupying force.' Candidate Lee's low-quality view of the US and his lack of diplomatic experience are a major obstacle to the Korean people's understanding of the US."
"The public is anxious about where this will lead. We hope that candidate Lee will immediately apologize and step down as a presidential candidate."
