There is a Korean proverb: "Even a dog remembers the kindness of those who raise it." It means to be wary of those who are ungrateful. If a human betrays the person who raised them, they are undoubtedly worse than a dog.

Since coming to Korea, I have found many things to be very strange. The most shocking among them was how politicians, specifically members of the National Assembly, betray the nation and its people without any hesitation. 

The betrayal by Korean politicians is not merely a difference in thought and perspective, as seen with politicians in other capitalist countries. It is a conscious betrayal and treason against the nation and its people.

I confidently state that the most ungrateful and treacherous individuals in South Korea, those who betray as a daily habit, are the members of the National Assembly, and among them, it is the members of the People Power Party (PPP).

It is not strange that members of the Democratic Party betray the nation and its people, as they were elected by pro-North Korea and pro-China elements who deny the very existence of South Korea, and their elections are also suspected of being fraudulent.

However, the PPP members were entrusted and supported by patriotic citizens who wanted them to stop the Democratic Party's tyranny and protect the nation. The fact that these elected officials betray so readily makes them worse than beasts.

It is undeniable that PPP members have twice sacrificed presidents from their own party to pro-North Korea and pro-China traitors, and have even sold out the South Korean government.

The reason I am writing this is that I am aligning myself with the plot of the Lee Jae-myung administration to completely eliminate the PPP, by attempting to remove Chairman Jang Dong-hyuk so that the dirty traitor Han Dong-hoon can seize power.

Within the PPP right now, there is a charade of all supreme council members resigning to oust Chairman Jang Dong-hyuk, and traitors in disguise like Bae Hyun-jin and Kim Yong-tae show signs of mass defection to the Democratic Party.

Of course, it will be difficult for the ousted Han Dong-hoon to immediately gain a foothold. However, we see a strategy to create a "Han Dong-hoon world" by first making Kim Moon-soo, who fawned over him saying, "Han Dong-hoon is the PPP's treasure. He shouldn't be ousted," the interim leader.

Lee Hae-ho, Kim Chong-in, Hong Joon-pyo, and Cho Gab-je are also joining this. Is it not for this very reason that Han Dong-hoon was elected in Busan, a place with no connection to him, in this election?

Furthermore, the traitor to the conservative right, Oh Se-hoon, and the immature Lee Jun-seok are spewing all sorts of slander against Jang Dong-hyuk for demanding a by-election to protect his position as party leader.

There are even some within the conservative right who argue that Jang Dong-hyuk should step down as leader. Of course, I do not have a strong attachment to Jang Dong-hyuk either.

However, who is better than Jang Dong-hyuk? Through parties like the Grand National Party and the Liberty Korea Party, and ultimately encountering numerous party leaders and interim leaders like Lee Jun-seok and Kim Yong-tae, who has been better than Jang Dong-hyuk? It was Jang Dong-hyuk who, after all, expelled Han Dong-hoon from the party and disciplined Bae Hyun-jin.

If Jang Dong-hyuk is removed immediately, who will be put forward? Will they bring in figures like Kim Chong-in or In Myung-jin, or Hong Joon-pyo? In the end, it means handing over the PPP to Han Dong-hoon's greed.

Regardless of whether Jang Dong-hyuk is hypocritical or formal, he has demanded a by-election and has appeared at the struggle sites of patriots multiple times. Has any member of the PPP shown their face at protest sites?

Bae Hyun-jin fled to Japan during the election period, and individuals like Kim Yong-tae are solely focused on ousting their party leader. Even the supreme council members are only watching the trends of power and not one is trying to protect the party and its leader.

The PPP members of the National Assembly, who betray the grace of the citizens who trusted and voted for them and who only engage in treason, are truly worse than dogs. Look at how many of them advocate for fraudulent elections and by-elections.

However, some citizens who still insist that the PPP should exist are, regrettably, rightly called 'dogs and pigs'.

South Korea is not protected by the PPP. It is protected by patriots and the United States.
