The People Power Party criticized the Lee Jae-myung administration's personnel issues in the wake of the Korean national soccer team's failure to advance to the round of 32 of the World Cup. People Power Party lawmaker Kim Seung-soo said at the People Power Party's floor plan meeting held on the 30th, "The Korean national soccer team showed disastrous performance and failed to advance to the round of 32." In response to this, President Lee Jae-myung said, "In the end, it has been proven once again that personnel matters. I placed more emphasis on my side than ability and hired incompetent people." “If you are selected as a commander, the result will be as obvious as fire,” he said. Rep. Kim said of this, “Is this self-criticism?” and “Is it that I can see the dust in other people’s eyes, but not the beam in my own eyes?” President Lee's remarks pointing out the issue of appointing a national soccer team coach after the national team was eliminated are actually a personnel problem of the current government. He said, “President Lee continues to pour out people who are on his side rather than his abilities when it comes to personnel in the culture and arts world,” and mentioned rumors of his appointment as the director of the Korea Culture and Tourism Institute, the representative of the National Jeongdong Theater, and the director of the National Ballet. He continued, “Selecting an incompetent person as commander will cause deep disappointment to the people.”
