Jung Sung-hong, Chairman of the Private May 18 Fact-Finding Investigation Committee■ Father:

"What is this country coming to? While national assets are burning in Daejeon, the president is busy filming a mukbang show... This is the end of the world."

 Mother:

"Please stop. Talking about politics during Chuseok ruins the appetite. But... still, that was a bit much. Filming a broadcast without even visiting the site of the fire."

 Eldest Brother:

"Foreign policy is also a problem. You went to the UN General Assembly and couldn't even meet Trump, and you barely managed to get a photo with the Japanese Prime Minister before returning, right? The diplomatic report card is a zero."

 Younger Brother:

"I don't understand why they put Kim Hyun-ji in that position again. She didn't even attend the confirmation hearing, and there are rampant rumors about her son... that just increases the suspicion."

 Nephew:

"I find the arrest of Lee Jin-sook even stranger. After changing the law to take her position, is it normal to specifically target and arrest just one person? Is this a developed country?"

 Father:

"That's the problem. The country is in this state, and people's livelihoods are being neglected. Have you been to the market? A box of apples costs a fortune, a fortune!"

 Mother:

"It all comes down to money, money. When politics can't provide for people's basic needs, the public suffers more."

This is a verbatim account of what the AI responded when asked to describe how the incident of Lee Jae-myung, who returned after being slighted by Trump, filming a JTBC mukbang during the National Information Resources Management Service headquarters fire, the appointment of Kim Hyun-ji, who has an uncontrollable mouth and is described as a "man of all accomplishments," as the First Deputy Secretary to prevent her attendance at the National Assembly audit, and the deliberate pursuit of Lee Jin-sook, neglecting people's livelihoods, including illegal arrest after fabricating a narrative, would be portrayed at the Chuseok dinner table. The world is changing so rapidly that machines can now provide comprehensive judgments with just the right information.

■ Although the National Intelligence Service (NIS) has had its domestic intelligence gathering functions abolished and its counter-espionage investigation functions transferred to the police, leading to arguments about its redundancy, until the early 2000s, agents would collect intelligence from various ministries, which the "Comprehensive Judgment Division" would review, transform into information, and finally report to the President for national policy implementation.

The current administration's misjudgment of the situation, which led to the downfall of Roh Moo-hyun, the framing of Cho Kuk and Lee Jae-myung as criminals, and ultimately the abolition of the prosecution service itself, stems from a lack of information. If the NIS had functioned properly, it could have foreseen the consequences even after abolition, and even an impetuous figure like Lee Jae-myung would not have provided the grounds for criticism at the Chuseok dinner table that led him to dig his own grave.

The arrogant remarks made by Jeong Cheong-rae and his ilk to Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae, intended to win the favor of "gae-ttal" (loyal followers of Lee Jae-myung), have now touched a raw nerve in the judiciary, which is increasingly being brought under control. Even judges sympathetic to their side are sensing the danger and have ruled in favor of releasing Lee Jin-sook, effectively spoiling their plans at the last minute.

Just over 100 days into his tenure, the incompetence of the Lee Jae-myung administration is evident in even the smallest matters. Trump's hardline policy, which views South Korea as a subordinate state to the Chinese Communist Party, is also significantly contributing to driving the Lee Jae-myung government towards ruin. However, having gained power through whatever means, they are unlikely to relinquish it easily. Ultimately, they will be tempted to use the 100 firearms and 20,000 rounds of ammunition revealed by Jin Jong-oh of the People Power Party, an Olympic shooting gold medalist, as a means of resolution.

■ As time goes by, young students at Liberty University are increasingly convinced of election fraud involving China, and the shouts of "CCP OUT," fueled by a sense of justice, are spreading nationwide, approaching a critical point. The students of Liberty University are mere "puppies" to the Korean police, who model themselves after the Chinese public security forces that brutally suppressed the Tiananmen Square incident.

If Jang Dong-hyuk, the leading candidate for the next presidential election, and Cha Myung-soo, a rising star, find common ground with the patriotic forces in Gwanghwamun based on their mutual needs, and if the students of Liberty University join them, creating a chemical reaction, it will be unbearable. In the ensuing chaos, the "gae-ttal" will disguise themselves as right-wing conservatives and fire just one shot at the police, as they did during the May 18 Gwangju Uprising. For the public security forces, who have become Lee Jae-myung's lapdogs, the death of a colleague will be a godsend, akin to crying because one's cheek has been slapped.

The protests will intensify, and blood will call for blood, making it unmanageable for the police force. The declaration of martial law is inevitable. At this point, the Western world, excluding North Korea, China, and Russia, will extend a hand to the self-helping liberal right-wing conservatives. Especially for the United States, which has designated China as an enemy, South Korea, by overthrowing the Lee Jae-myung regime, will be a treasure trove. The martial law troops, who have developed a close relationship with the US military through regular training, will also receive signals from them.

It is the absolute duty of the South Korean military to eradicate communism in order to protect liberal South Korea. This is all they have learned during their military service, and they have stood on the front lines, facing the primary enemy, vowing to reclaim their lost nation and awaiting the time. Therefore, turning their guns around is a simple matter. Lee Jae-myung, the avatar of the Chinese Communist Party, and his henchmen will be arrested one by one. The subsequent cleanup will be as simple as following Trump, who has destroyed the deep-state leftist Democratic Party. It's that easy. Long live liberal South Korea!

■ The editorial, "Chuseok Dinner Table, Public Sentiment Has Already Turned Away," satirized by AI, is not to be taken lightly.

This year, the main dishes on the Chuseok dinner table are not songpyeon or galbi-jjim. They are the "Assorted Set" of the Lee Jae-myung government's policy failures.

The first "dish" is "National Asset Fire and Mukbang." A tragedy occurred where national assets in Daejeon were engulfed in flames, leading a public official to take their own life. Yet, the president appeared on a Chuseok special "refrigerator mukbang." The explanation that "the broadcast filming was requested to be postponed" loses its persuasiveness, like a fish gone cold on the dinner table. The public ponders with bitter humor, "Was being in front of the camera more important than crisis management?"

The second "side dish" is the "Diplomatic Failure Sauce." The president, who returned empty-handed from the UN General Assembly diplomatic offensive without meeting Trump or any major leaders, has become a "cold rice" on the dinner table. Cold rice on the diplomatic stage and cold rice at the family dinner table – public sentiment is chilling.

The third is "Kim Hyun-ji's Special Relationship Kimchi Stew." Kim Hyun-ji, appointed as the First Deputy Secretary, did not attend either the confirmation hearing or the National Assembly audit. Criticism of her being an "inaccessible appointee" is emerging not only from the opposition but also from within the ruling party. The question, "Why did it have to be that particular person?" is endlessly refilled at the dinner table.

The fourth is "Lee Jin-sook Arrest Tactic Grilled Meat." Criticism of legislation and forced arrests targeting a specific individual lingers like an unpleasant aftertaste with every bite of meat. Whether it is political revenge or the execution of the rule of law, arguments are bound to break out even among family members.

The last is "Livelihood Economy Sighing Soup." The cost of groceries is soaring, and Chuseok fruit prices have become exorbitant. Ultimately, from the people's perspective, the grocery cart is more urgent than a mukbang show. No matter how sensational the political scandals, the perceived public sentiment at the dinner table is simply the modest wish, "I hope our living situation improves."

In the end, the Chuseok dinner table sentiment says:

"Governance is no longer a show. Focus on people's livelihoods, not mukbang."
