DP Lawmaker Song Young-kil reveals a picture that shows then Seoul Mayor Lee Myung-bak holding up a candle at a demonstration held in 2005. The demonstration was held in protest of then President Roh Moo-hyun’s education policies.

Lawmaker Song criticizes the hypocrisy of the ruling Grand National Party and three conservative newspapers like Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo. Since last year’s candlelight vigil demonstrations, the GNP and three conservative newspapers have criticized citizens for participating in candlelight vigil demonstrations.
