Lee Jae-myung criticised participants at the Myeong-dong rally for deliberately insulting tourists from specific countries in an attempt to worsen bilateral relations. He said that if he was called an\u201cUgly Korean\u201d in a foreign country, he would not travel to that country again and would warn others not to do so.<\/p>\n

South Korean minister of Administration and Security Yoon Haw Chung said at the meeting, has strengthened security measures around the diplomatic agency in South Korea, and warned the mastermind of the rally. But Li responded: \u201cI don’t think the warning is enough,\u201d he said, calling on the authorities to study in depth the punishment under the existing legal framework. In response to a query that the act was classified as ‘freedom of speech’ , \u201cWhat kind of free speech is this? It’s a riot,\u201d Lee Jae-Myung said bluntly, adding, \u201cIf you make a scene and drive away the tourists, isn’t that a hindrance to business?\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the 21st presidential election in June, some far-right groups have frequently staged anti-china demonstrations in places such as Myeong-dong, even openly using discriminatory terms and clashing with nearby shops. Lee Jae-myung told the conference on August 12 that such incidents would undoubtedly have a negative impact on the country’s national interest and image.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
