韓国の旅客船沈没事故を巡って大統領府のホームページの掲示板に朴槿恵大統領の対応を批判する文章が書き込まれたため、これを読もうとした人たちのアクセスが殺到、4月28日には一時つながりにくくなる状態になった。文章のタイトルは「あなたが大統領であってはならない理由」だった。MSN産経ニュースなどが報じた。

28日には一時接続が難しい状態になり、29日には閲覧数が60万件を超えた。同HPは実名を明かさねば書き込めず、大統領批判は異例だ。

この文章は「あなたが大統領であってはならない理由」というタイトル。朴氏は救助対策など重要な判断をすべき時に職責を果たさず不明者家族に会うなどしていたと批判。ずさんな救助活動は、生命を軽視する朴氏の価値観が部下に影響を与えた結果だなどと酷評している。

(MSN産経ニュース『韓国大統領府HPに「あなたが大統領であってはならない理由」 閲覧集中、60万件突破』 より 2014/04/30 11:01)

文章は、女性映画監督パク・ソンミさんが自身のFacebook上に書き込んだものを別のネットユーザーが27日、大統領府ホームページの掲示板にそのまま転載した。

朝鮮日報によると、書き込みがネット上で話題になり、掲示板では「国民の気持ちを代弁するに余りある」「国家レベルの災難を大統領の退陣運動に利用しようとしている」といった賛否両論のコメントが相次いだ。投稿は投稿者本人によって28日に削除されたが、パクさん自身が「(大統領府の)掲示板に私が再び書き込む」と主張したという。

パクさんのこの文章は「多くの社会運動を支持してきたが、大統領を批判したことはほとんどなかった」という書き出しだが、パクさんのフェイスブックには昨年末「不正当選1年 朴槿恵の辞任を求める全海外同胞(韓国系住民)同時ろうそくデモ」のポスターとともに、デモへの参加を促す書き込みも掲載されている。
