“Minjoo Party lawmaker Moon Jeong-bok criticized Acting President Han Deok-soo for refusing to appoint a Constitutional Court judge nominated by the National Assembly. Moon referred to Han as a ‘son of a b****,’ leading the People Power Party to retort on the 27th, stating, ‘Han Deok-soo is a son of a human.’
The People Power Party’s Special Media Committee’s Fake News Response Team issued a press release that day, countering Moon’s criticism of the acting president on social media the day before by calling it ‘clear fake news.’ While individual members have strongly criticized Moon’s vulgar expression, the party’s response team has labeled it ‘fake news’ and challenged it.
The Fake News Response Team stated, ‘Han Deok-soo is a son of a human and the acting president of South Korea,’ adding, ‘The impeachment of Prime Minister Han Deok-soo marks the 29th such event. This is a rebellion.’
The previous day, Moon had posted on social media, ‘Han Deok-soo, you’re really a son of a b****.’ The controversy grew, and the post has since been deleted.”
