The Reform Party announced on the 11th‍ that ⁣party leader Heo ‌Eun-ah will attend the Liberation‍ Day celebration ceremony on the 15th.

Senior Spokesperson Kim Sung-yeol announced ​in a press release ⁤that day,‌ “Regardless ⁢of whether the six opposition parties do ⁢not participate, the New Reform⁤ Party plans to ⁣have party leader‌ Heo Eun-ah attend⁣ this⁢ Liberation Day celebration.” He‌ added, “Apart from the inappropriateness​ of the director ‍of the Independence Hall‍ of Korea and New Right figures, we ⁢would like to tell you that we intend to⁤ respect the meaning of this national event celebrating the liberation from Japanese colonial rule ⁢and the establishment of a government that ⁢inherited the legitimacy of the Provisional Government of the ⁢Republic of Korea.”

Spokesperson ‌Kim Min-gyu said in⁤ a⁣ separate commentary ‍on the same day, “The appointment of Kim Hyung-seok as director ​of⁤ the Independence Hall of​ Korea, who has caused national division with ⁢his distorted view of history, is clearly a ‘wrong appointment. ’” He added, “They do not ⁢hesitate to make historical claims that​ are different from the facts and they should be condemned for ⁤attempting to sacrifice our history with ⁣overly biased ideological standards. President Yoon ‍Seok-yeol should review the ​appointment of Director Kim from the beginning.”

However, he⁢ said, “Apart from⁣ the failed personnel appointments, the‍ opposition six parties’ method of boycotting‍ the Liberation Day​ event itself needs to⁣ be reconsidered,” and “I urge the Democratic ⁤Party and ⁣the six opposition parties⁤ to cooperate so‌ that we‌ can remove the stigma of⁣ the Republic of Korea being ‌divided ⁤again after 79 years of liberation. I ask that you protect the place where⁤ we celebrate ⁢the joy of liberation and faithfully ⁤fulfill the original mission ⁤of ⁤the National Assembly.”

Meanwhile, the six opposition parties, including the Democratic ⁤Party ​of Korea, the ‍Fatherland Innovation Party, the Progressive Party, the New Future Party, the Social Democratic Party, and the Basic Income Party, have ⁢officially declared or​ are considering attending the Liberation Day celebration.⁢ This⁤ is to protest President Yoon Seok-yeol’s appointment⁣ of Professor Kim Hyung-seok of ‍Kosin ⁢University, who‌ is considered ⁤to have “New Right” tendencies, as the director of the Independence Hall of Korea.
