Independent lawmaker Choi Hyuk-jin brought out a composite photo of Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae and Toyotomi Hideyoshi during a parliamentary audit, drawing criticism both within and outside the political world.
Lee Joon-seok, leader of the New Reform Party, criticized the remarks, saying, "It is not Chief Justice Cho Hee-dae of the Supreme Court who resembles Toyotomi Hideyoshi, but the Democratic Party of Korea (the ruling party) and President Lee Jae-myung."
In a message posted on his social media account on the 14th, Lee Jun-seok said, "There is no similarity between Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Supreme Court Chief Justice Cho."
Lee Jun-seok, CEO of Hideyoshi, said, "Hideyoshi was a former member of the lower ranks of samurai, and he was obsessed with endlessly raising his status. Even after he reached the pinnacle of power, he routinely made personnel decisions centered on his close associates, and he was a man who no one could trust.
He was a teric man. He was not satisfied with what he had, and he considered himself the ruler of the world, even going so far as to invade on a regular basis. There are other people like him out there."
He continued, "The attitude of the Democratic Party of Korea and President Lee Jae-myung, who pursue more power and are suspicious of anyone who does not obey them, is similar to the desire of Toyotomi Hideyoshi to become the 'ruler of the world.'
"Having gained control of the government and the legislature, the idea of taking control of the judiciary as well is no different from Toyotomi's foolish dream of becoming the ruler of Japan," he said.
He added, "The lesson we must learn from the Imjin War (the Japanese invasion of Korea, or the Bunroku-Keicho War) is
Instead of silly wordplay like "Tomi Hideyoshi," the attitude our politics must learn is to reflect and not ridicule, but to realize how foolish the dream of a ruler of the country was.
It's not a historical lesson," he said.
