– Five years ago it was the exact opposite. When former President Park Geun-hye visited the Busan Creative Economy Innovation Center on March 16, 2016, ahead of the 20th National Assembly election, on March 16, 2016, the opposition Democratic Party immediately commented, “President Park should stop any election intervention.” .
Democratic Party spokesman Kim Sung-soo “The Blue House excuses that it is an economic move, but it cannot but be seen as a political visit with the upcoming general election in mind.”And “After democratization, I urge you to be self-confident about which president has been so engrossed in the election and tried to intervene explicitly.”Pointed out. He said, “If the President does not immediately stop intervening in elections, it is a clear warning that there will be a big headwind over election intervention before elections begin.”

– On April 8, 2016, five days before the election, when former President Park visited the Creative Economy Innovation Center in Cheongju City in North Chungcheong Province and Jeonju City in Jeonbuk Province one after another, the Democratic Party’s criticism grew even more. In particular, Cheongwon-gu, Cheongju-si, visited by former President Park, was a place where the opposition candidates had a close battle within the margin of error.
At the time, Lee Jae-kyung, a spokesman for the Democratic Party’s Election Countermeasure Committee (Seon Dae-wi), said, “The Blue House claims it is to check the progress of the creative economy, but no one believes this as it is. I hope that President Park will not become the’queen of election interventions’ I said. At the time, Ahn Hyung-hwan, a spokesman for the Saenuri Party, refuted, saying, “If the president makes a political interpretation wherever he goes in the future, the president cannot do anything,” and “it can only be seen as a political offensive by the opposition party.”
At the time, the Democratic Party even took issue with the red clothing that former President Park wore when visiting Cheongju and Jeonbuk. In a commentary, the Democratic Party said, “President Park is wearing a red jacket. Red is the color of the Saenuri Party.” It doesn’t look like a coincidence.”
Criticism of the Democratic Party’s 180-degree change was also criticized as’Narrow Nambul’ in the power of the people. In a commentary the previous day, spokesman Kim Eun-hye “I want to give a mirror to the Democratic Party, which heated up criticism, saying that it was’overtly electoral intervention in the name of the people’s livelihood’ if I had time in the past during the opposition party.”
