Chapter 455
Conservative media outlets, until just a few days ago, had been lumping Heo Chang-min and Kang Jin-hoo together and criticizing them, saying that they were in cahoots to sell the country out to North Korea.
In connection with this, conservative YouTube channels were also launching an offensive by uploading various videos.
But when Kang Jin-hoo broke up the negotiation table, everyone was dumbfounded. If they criticized the government, they would be siding with Kang Jin-hoo, and if they criticized Kang Jin-hoo, they would be siding with the government.
The New Politics Party was also in a bind. What kind of businessman in the world would act like that in a meeting of North and South Korean officials?
The senior members of the ruling party were furious.
"No, what on earth was Kang Jin-hoo thinking when he said that?"
"He should have just quietly eaten his naengmyeon and left. This is just like pouring cold water on the government."
"There's a limit to how much you can tarnish the president's face."
"The relationship between the North and the South is on thin ice right now."
