The day after President Yoon Seok-yeol's visit to Japan on 1 days and 2 night, the President's Office said in an explanatory document that this visit marked a turning point in the improvement of relations between South Korea and Japan, which had reached the worst point in history.

He said it would be an occasion to strengthen cooperation in the economic and security fields.

The power of the people also helped.

He said that there is no opposition in the national interest and that we should take a sober look at the new ROK-Japan relationship for the sake of future generations, and criticized the opposition's opposition as a slippage that leaned on anti-Japanese sentiment.

[Jang Dong-hyuk/People's Power Senate Spokesperson: The DNA of propaganda leaning on anti-Japanese sentiment is overflowing out of the body and is uncontrollable. I can't help but ask if it is expressing North Korea's fear.]

However, the level of criticism from the opposition has risen further today (18th).

Lee Jae-myung, a representative of the Millennium Democratic Party, argued at the Pan-National Congress that it was intended to appease Japan's condemnation over the proposal to compensate victims of forced mobilization in the form of third-party reimbursement.

[Lee Jae-myung/Democratic Party Representative: No matter how unconstitutional it is, no matter how contrary to common sense, as long as it can meet Japan's wishes, anything can be done, isn't that a humiliating attitude, gentlemen!]

As the two countries are moving forward on the path of military cooperation, they are afraid that the Korean peninsula will become a flashpoint for war and that the Self-Defense Forces will enter the peninsula.

The Justice Party went one step further.

[Lee Jung-mi/Leader of the Justice Party: The judgment against President Yoon Seok-yeol, who sells out national interests, sells the dignity of citizens, and sells peace in Northeast Asia, has begun.]

Amid conflicting assessments of the ROK-Japan summit talks, it seems inevitable that the ruling opposition will make no concessions in various parts of the National Assembly Standing Committee for the time being.
