We will judge Yoon Suk-yeol’s government for the shameful diplomacy towards Japan.” Therefore, this visit by Choe’s party seems to voice a protest against Japan’s so-called ‘Line’s attempt to encroach on management rights.’ In particular, Lee Haemin, an elected member of the Choe Revolution Party from Google, criticized during a recent press conference regarding the ‘Line incident,’ saying, “It is becoming clear that President Yoon Suk-yeol’s claim of normalizing the Korea-Japan relationship is just another name for Japan’s dominance diplomacy.”‘,

In fact, there have been arguments that mentioning the issue of Dokdo in Korea-Japan relations plays into Japan’s intention to engrave Dokdo as a disputed territory. Particularly, the ruling party has expressed the view that mentioning Dokdo during a sensitive period for both sides is fueling anti-Japanese sentiment. Huh Jun-seok, the spokesperson of the People Power Party, pointed out in a commentary, “The People Power Party and the Yoon Suk-yeol government will make every effort for the amicable resolution of the Line incident,” adding, “There has been no resolution by blaming our government unilaterally and once again fueling anti-Japanese sentiment.”‘,

Some interpret this as directly conveying a political message, such as the atmosphere of being considered the ‘next presidential candidate’ surrounding Choe at the time.”,
