Other members of the Korean political scene are reportedly crying foul as well.

A new report from Korean daily newspaper The Hankyoreh states that leaders of several opposition parties are moving to criticize what they deem a unilateral crackdown without any discussion or debate.

One opposition lawmaker said the ban was not a government position, but rather one that the Ministry of Justice and, possibly the president, hold themselves.

The lawmaker continued (according to a translated statement):

"The government announcement should be based on detailed reviews and coordination. If there is a problem, we should warn and prepare in advance."
