After being appointed as the chairman of the Innovation Organization of the Democratic Party of Korea, Rae Rae-gyeong, who was controversial for remarks such as the suicide bombing of the Cheonan ship in the past, resigned on the day of appointment.
In a statement sent to the press at 6:55 pm yesterday (5th), Chairman Lee said, “Since the continuation of the controversy is a burden on the Democratic Party, which is a public party, I would like to decline the position in charge of the innovation organization.”
It has been 9 hours since CEO Lee Jae-myeong announced the appointment through all remarks at the morning Supreme Council meeting.
Chairman Lee’s past remarks, such as the ‘cheonan manipulation theory’, which refuted the government’s position that North Korea sank the Cheonan, and an article to the effect of defending Putin by saying that he was not a war criminal, were controversial.
Representative Lee Jae-myung said that he respected the will of Chairman Lee and said, “I will look for a competent and trustworthy person by referring to the opinions of the people around me.”
