Park Jie-won criticizes Yoo Si-min over 'divisive language' and 'predicting failure' for president

Park Jie-won, a member of the Democratic Party, has sharply criticized author Yoo Si-min, urging him to refrain from making divisive statements that could benefit those seeking to destabilize the nation.

Park's remarks came during an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Kim Eun-ji's News In' on Thursday. Responding to a host's comment about Yoo's upcoming media appearances, Park advised Yoo against "excessive speech," stating that "making divisive statements that benefit those seeking to destabilize the nation is not good."

"As an intellectual and author of this era, the right path is to use the language of comrades, not the language of curses that cause further division," Park added.

This criticism follows Yoo's recent appearance on the YouTube broadcast 'Maebulshow' on July 15. During that appearance, Yoo openly criticized President Lee Jae-myung's administration, stating, "I respect the path President Lee has chosen, but it is a very dangerous choice for him and for society. I believe President Lee's choice will end in failure."

Yoo also argued that the reason prosecutorial reform has stalled for over a year is because "the president does not want a complete separation of investigative and prosecutorial powers."

Park acknowledged that one can offer advice to the president, but warned that "if you do it repeatedly, the effect disappears. It's worse than not doing it at all." He added, "I also have many personal grievances with President Lee. But how can you live holding onto every single grievance about what the president has done? Please, if you cannot help, at least do not break the pot."
