On the 7th, strong supporters of Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, staged a protest in front of the local office of a non-affiliated lawmaker, displaying a banner containing a threatening message. Even though Democratic Party floor leader Hong Ik-pyo warned, “Placing inappropriate placards is very wrong and will be dealt with severely if it is repeated,” they pushed ahead with the schedule regardless.

According to the political world, about 10 strong supporters of Representative Lee, who are called ‘dog daughters’, staged a ‘punishment protest’ in front of the office building of Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Jong-min’s district office in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province, this afternoon. It is reported that many of them went down to Nonsan from Seoul. They called it the ‘Kim Jong-min Watermelon Breaking Rally’ through social media and gathered attendees to travel by car together from Seoul. In the meantime, the Dog Daughters mainly protested in front of the offices of lawmakers in the metropolitan area, but this time they went on a ‘provincial expedition.’ They held picket signs that read, “Kim Jong-min, you are a traitor,” “Get out of the Democratic Party,” and “Traitors of the Democratic Party will be judged by party members.” They played a song through an amplifier, waved a picket sign, and continued to criticize Rep. Kim and non-member lawmakers while holding a microphone.
They also hung a banner on the roadside that said, ‘If I had one bullet, I would punish the traitor who betrayed our country and democracy a hundred times, a thousand times before the Japanese.’ There was also a photo of broken watermelons on the faces of nine non-member lawmakers, including Rep. Kim. This banner had previously been hung in downtown Dongtan, Hwaseong-si, Gyeonggi-do, the constituency of Rep. Lee Won-wook, causing controversy over death threats. Subak means ‘Democratic Party on the outside, People Power Party on the inside,’ and is a derogatory expression for those in non-dominant circles.

Hong Ik-pyo, floor leader of the Democratic Party, said at a meeting this morning, “It is good that some party members are worried about the party, but I would like to point out that it is very wrong to interfere with the normal activities of our lawmakers in their constituencies or undermine trust in the party by posting inappropriate placards.” He said. It was interpreted as a remark aimed at the banner controversy that arose earlier. Floor Leader Hong said, “If this type of behavior is repeated recently, we will deal with it severely through the relevant party organizations. “If you are a party member, you should not do this,” he said.
Despite floor leader Hong’s warning, Representative Lee’s supporters proceeded with the protest as scheduled this afternoon. During the protest, an attempt was made to break into Rep. Kim’s district office. At the time, it was reported that Rep. Kim’s local aides were all absent from the office due to external schedules. Rep. Kim’s constituency is Nonsan, Gyeryong, and Geumsan in South Chungcheong Province. Representative Lee’s supporters chanted slogans in front of the locked door, such as “Kim Jong-min, get out of the Democratic Party,” “Kim Jong-min, leave the Democratic Party,” “Leave the Democratic Party,” and “Sign our representative Lee Jae-myeong for the grave crime” and then retreated. They also said, “They won’t open the door” and “We came down to Nonsan, but it was too much.”
