[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Sohn Hak-kyu, leader of the Bareunmirae Party, stated on the 3rd regarding the party faction lawmakers' demand for his resignation, "Telling Sohn Hak-kyu to step down in advance is an illogical statement," and added, "I have never said that I will unconditionally step down."

After the Supreme Council meeting that day, Sohn told reporters, "I am not greedy for the party leadership itself."

Sohn emphasized, "The Bareunmirae Party's victory in the general election and political reform are important tasks," and said, "It is not the behavior of a responsible politician to just abandon such tasks and say, 'Do whatever you want, I'm leaving.'"

Regarding the return of former Bareunmirae Party lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo, Sohn said, "I actively welcome former lawmaker Ahn's return to politics," and added, "If former lawmaker Ahn comes, I will do my best so that everything goes as he wishes and people listen to what he says."
