Collection of his Trumpish remarks
“”I've rarely heard of the economy going well in public life.
“”(Right-wing) Lawmakers are as pathetic as the physically handicapped. There are so many mentally disabled in the political circle.[1]
—The Minjoo Party of Korea's Committee for the Disabled.[note 1] reproach conservative politicians. 2018
“”I didn't know either, but I heard that the congenital disabled have a relatively weaker will than the acquired disabled![2]
“”If it is not our party, I don't think we have the capacity to take power and take the center of the reform.
“”(with sexuality) Korean men like Vietnamese women better than other women![3]
“”The Philippines has become one of the poorest and most disturbed countries in Asia. This is why politics is very important!
“”(When Na Kyung-won, a conservative politician, accused President Moon of being "Kim Jong-un's chief spokesman.")

His remarks seem like the leader of the far-right party, but he is classified as a liberal politician in South Korea!

the Justice Party[note 3] unofficially lashed out at Lee Hae-chan's remarks, saying, "Lee Hae-chan's derogatory hate speech about minorities is very habitual!" In fact, if it were Europe, such hate speech would not only lead to the resignation of the party leader but also criminal punishment. As such, S. Korea is a socially conservative and authoritarian country. Its neighbor, Japan is not very free on this issue either.
