"Left, did you do well? I want to ask if what you (politicians) are doing is truly for the nation."
Singer Na Hoon-a (78) criticized the entire divided political sphere regarding the impeachment of President Yoon Suk-yeol during his retirement concert.
According to the music industry on the 11th, Na Hoon-a targeted politicians saying, "Is what you are doing now for the country and the people?" during the '2024 Thank You - Last Concert' held the previous day at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park, Seoul.
Na Hoon-a said, "Now that I am about to quit, I tried not to say anything, but I have lost my sense of direction lately. Where is the right and where is the left?" He asked the conductor, "Where is the left and the right of my arm?" He continued, "The left is causing a huge uproar saying 'I was wrong' while they haven't done anything right either."
Na Hoon-a shared an anecdote about how, when he and his older brother fought during childhood, their mother scolded them both, saying, "Regardless of the reason, brothers shouldn't fight." He added, "Now there's chaos regarding who is doing what, and I want to ask if you are really doing this for the country."
Additionally, Na Hoon-a emphasized defense and the economy. He said, "It wouldn't be strange if bombs were to fall on our heads in a country like South Korea, where soldiers are continually being captured on television and some soldiers even cry. Isn't it funny to entrust our lives to this?"
He also noted, "What's important is that the media are broadcasting this live. This shouldn't be shown on live broadcasts. Who would like that? How pleased would Kim Jong-un in the North be?"
Starting from the performance on the 10th until the 12th, Na Hoon-a is holding a total of five performances at the KSPO Dome, meeting about 70,000 audience members. This is the final stop of his retirement concert, which began with a performance in Incheon last April. Debuting in 1966 with 'Chunrigil,' Na Hoon-a expressed his intention to retire in February of last year through a handwritten letter, saying, "I want to follow the deep truth of the simple phrase, 'Leave when you are being applauded.'"
