Mayor Kang said in a post on his Facebook page on the 26th, “The Cold War has already ended 30 years ago, but an outdated ideological offensive is heading toward Gwangju.” “As always, the spirit of Gwangju will not stop.”
“The flag of ideology that once fluttered here has disappeared, and Jirisan is still beautiful, so people do not stop coming,” he added.
Mayor Kang posted a third post on social media after the project to create the Jeong Yul-seong Historical Park became controversial, criticizing the government and the ruling party and indirectly expressing his position that he would not back down from the wave of offensive.
In response, on the 26th, the People’s Power urged the Democratic Party to express its position by defining Jeong Yul-seong, a Chinese musician from Gwangju, as a ‘communist aggression collaborator’, which the city of Gwangju will commemorate by creating a park.
In a commentary on the day, spokesman Baek Gyeong-hoon pointed out, “The fact that a person named Jeong Yul-seong was involved in activities related to the Chinese Communist Party and the North Korean military is a fact that will not disappear no matter what anyone says.”
“Building the Jeong Yul-seong Memorial Park by spending 4.8 billion won in taxpayers’ money is tantamount to insulting the citizens of Gwangju who have kept the history of independence and democracy,” he said.
Deputy Spokesperson Baek said, “Gwangju MBC has hosted the ‘Jung Yul-seong Children’s Song Contest’ since 2014, and the city of Gwangju has been subsidizing 50 million won every year.” “, he inquired.
He also raised his voice of criticism, saying, “Why does the Democratic Party remain blind and ignorant about the persistent idolization of Jeong Yulseong by Gwangju Mayor Kang Ki-jeong and local governments and local councils?”
