[Asia Economy Reporter Jang Sehee] Hong Joon-pyo, former leader of the Liberty Korea Party, criticized Hwang Kyo-ahn's declaration to run in a difficult district in the metropolitan area on the 4th.

On that day, Hong wrote on Facebook regarding Hwang's declaration to run in a difficult district in the metropolitan area, "It is a natural step for someone who has been in the party for less than a year to declare running in a difficult district," and added, "Why drag others into what you call a great sacrifice?"

This remark was made with the awareness that Hwang's demand to run in a difficult district was aimed at party members. The day before, Hong had expressed his intention to run in either Daegu Dong-gu Eul or Gyeongnam's Miryang, Uiryeong, Haman, or Changnyeong in this general election.

Hong also said, "Do you still think politics will work properly if you do not engage in politics based on political beliefs but only on religious beliefs?" and asked, "Do you believe that the current crisis can still be overcome solely by the sweet optimism of political brokers swarming around?"

Hong stated that a unified emergency committee should be formed to overcome the party crisis. He said, "No one will come under Leader Hwang," and added, "The later it gets, the deeper we sink into the mire."
