Korea ’s largest opposition party, the free South Korean party ’s representative, Hwang Kyung-an, performed on the 16th in a public place with a hair clipper. The response from the supporters was chilly to protest that President Moon Jae-in has appointed Mr. Choguk, who was suspected of fraud, as the Minister of Justice.
The prosecution investigation over the alleged misconduct of the family of the Minister of Justice, who took office on the 9th, continues, and the suspicion is growing. The Liberal Republic of Korea, where the suspicion of improper advancement of a parliamentarian's child has emerged, has not absorbed public opinion, and Mr. Huang's leadership has been criticized. Korean opposition representatives have shown protests in the past, such as fasting, but “shave their hair is unusual” (Korean media). It seems that there is an aim to change the situation by showing the preparedness.
In Korea, “shaving” has a meaning of showing a strong determination by daring to the hair that is an important part of the body given by parents. Of course, supporters of the Liberal Republic of Korea have said the reaction is subtle, saying that Mr. Huang's actions say “I do n’t think it ’s meaningful”.
According to Cheong Wa Dae, President Bun expressed concern about Mr. Huang's actions and asked for his visit, but he refused. (Seoul = Takeda)
