GNP's Response

Grand National Party (GNP) spokesperson Kwon Chul-hyun, commenting on a drinking outing that politicians from the Millennium Democratic Party (MDP) participated in on the eve of the May 18 Kwangju Uprising Memorial Day said, "Their acts were not understandable and were disappointing". Kwon went on to call for the National Assembly members to step down if they had the slightest amount of common sense left.

The MDP's Chairperson Seo Young-hoon, responding to Kwon's comments, said it was an unfourtunate thing that happened and that the Generation 386 politicians should have behaved better. Generation 386 refers to politicians who are in their thirties, attended school in the eighties and were born in the sixties. Chairsperson Seo is planning to call the politicians that were involved in the party and hand down punishment. The MDP's Secretary General said that he aplogizes to all the people of Korea for the acts that the politicians in his party did.

United Liberal Democrats (ULD) vice-spokesperson Lee Kyu-yang said that the politicians should apologize to all the people of Korea.
