Choi Min-hee, a member of South Korea's Democratic Party, publicly addressed her forced expulsion from the presidential fan cafe ‘Jaemyeong’s Village’, stating that such actions must not be irrational in order to maintain the group's trust. The controversy arose after Choi announced plans to investigate the KTV broadcast channel following claims that significant moments from President Lee Jae-myung's trip to Singapore and the Philippines had been deliberately omitted from a video stream. The decision to expel Choi was made quickly by the cafe’s manager, who initiated a vote among group members after they perceived her investigation as a criticism, particularly concerning President Lee's representation. Choi, in her response on social media, pointed out the necessity of fact-checking and suggested increasing the number of camera operators during presidential appearances to prevent misunderstandings and ensure comprehensive coverage of significant moments, like Lee's handshake with a political ally. This incident reflects ongoing tensions within the Democratic Party, as the cafe had previously expelled other members, like Lee Seong-yoon, citing similar issues of polarizing behavior. Choi, who has faced criticism from media as a staunch supporter of the party and its leadership, questioned whether past struggles for independence should be dismissed as anti-independence movements, emphasizing the importance of constructive dialogue and fact-checking in political discourse.
