President Lee Jaemyung on the Starbucks tank day controversy: “What kind of twisted resentment could lead someone to do something like this?” “ They should be made to bear the appropriate moral, administrative, legal, and political responsibility for this.”

translation:

“On the historic anniversary of the May 18 Gwangju Uprising, an event called ‘5.18 Tank Day’ that mocks the blood soaked struggle of the victims and citizens of Gwangju…

How many innocent people died unjustly that day? How severe was the destruction of justice and history caused by it? What kind of twisted resentment could lead someone to do something like this?

I am furious at this inhuman and disgraceful behavior from low class profiteers who deny the values of the South Korean community, basic human rights, and democracy itself.

They should be made to bear the appropriate moral, administrative, legal, and political responsibility for this.”

Have they even apologized to the bereaved families and victims of May 18?”
