민생당 박성준 수석대변인은 11월16일 “윤석열 대통령은 김명수 합참의장 지명을 철회하라” 제목의 논평을 발표했다.
이 논평에서 “합참의장은 국방부 장관을 보좌하며, 국방부 장관의 명을 받아 전투를 주임무로 하는 각 군의 작전부대를 작전지휘·감독하고, 합동작전 수행을 위하여 설치된 합동부대를 지휘·감독하는 막중한 권한과 책임이 뒤따르는 국군 최고 작전지휘관이다”고 지적하고 “김명수 후보자는 합참의장으로서 깜냥이 아니라는 것이 인사청문회를 통해 여실히 드러나고 있다. 북한이 미사일 도발을 한 날 주식 거래를 한 것도 모자라 골프를 친 사실이 드러났으며, 관사에 골프 연습 시설을 설치했다는 의혹까지 제기됐다. 이뿐만 아니라, 김 후보자의 딸이 가해자로 연루된 학폭 사건(김 후보자의 딸은 중학교 2학년이었던 2012년 동급생 5명과 교내 화장실에서 동급생 1명을 폭행해 1호 처분(서면 사과)을 받았음.)을 김 후보자는 인사검증 과정에서 밝히지 않아 은폐 의혹까지 제기됐다”고 강조했다.
이어 “이런 사람이 어찌 국군 최고 작전지휘관인 합참의장직을 수행할 수 있겠는가. 국민의 실망감과 윤석열 정부의 인사검증 시스템의 쇄신 요구가 커지고 있다”면서 “민생당은 윤석열 대통령에게 김명수 합참의장 지명을 철회하고, 인사검증 시스템의 근본적인 쇄신을 실행할 것을 강력히 촉구한다. 또한, 안보 공백 최소화를 위해 국민께서 수긍할 수 있는 새로운 합참의장 후보자를 하루속히 지명하길 바란다”고 촉구했다.

On November 16, Minsaeng Party chief spokesperson Park Seong-joon published a commentary titled, “President Yoon Seok-yeol should withdraw the nomination of Kim Myeong-soo, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.”
In this commentary, “The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff assists the Minister of National Defense, and under orders from the Minister of National Defense, commands and supervises operational units of each military branch whose main mission is combat, and commands and supervises joint units established to carry out joint operations. He pointed out, “He is the highest operational commander of the ROK Armed Forces with great authority and responsibility,” and added, “It is clearly revealed through the personnel hearing that candidate Kim Myung-soo is not a fool as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. On the day of North Korea's missile provocation, it was revealed that he not only traded stocks but also played golf, and suspicions were even raised that he had installed a golf practice facility at his official residence. In addition, the school violence incident in which Candidate Kim's daughter was involved as the perpetrator (Candidate Kim's daughter received the first punishment (written apology) for assaulting one classmate with five classmates in a school restroom in 2012 when she was in her second year of middle school.) “Candidate Kim did not disclose it during the personnel verification process, raising suspicions of a cover-up,” he emphasized.
He continued, “How can a person like this serve as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest operational commander of the ROK Armed Forces? "The public's disappointment and demands for reform of the Yoon Seok-yeol government's personnel verification system are growing," he said. "The Democratic Party strongly urges President Yoon Seok-yeol to withdraw the nomination of Kim Myeong-soo, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and implement a fundamental reform of the personnel verification system. “In addition, in order to minimize the security gap, I hope that a new candidate for the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff who can be accepted by the public will be nominated as soon as possible,” he urged.
