[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Sohn Hak-kyu, leader of the Bareunmirae Party, held a 'solo Supreme Council meeting' on the 6th, following the one on the 3rd. Pro-party lawmakers are increasing pressure on Sohn by boycotting the Supreme Council meetings.

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Sohn commented on the absence of Supreme Council members Joo Seung-yong and Kim Kwan-young, saying, "It seems the members couldn't come because it's the New Year."

Regarding the official launch of the New Conservative Party, he said, "As the party name suggests, I hope it becomes a party that renews conservatism and contributes to the development of Korean politics," and added, "Congratulations."

He continued, "It is a good thing that the New Conservative Party advocates itself as a young party," but emphasized, "However, advocating as a young party should not stop at politically using young people. Young people should no longer be merely used in elections but become the main agents of political reform in Korea."

Sohn pointed out, "The New Conservative Party has eight party leaders who take turns serving as responsible leaders for one month each," and expressed concern, "I worry that this party might degenerate into another code-based party or a show party."

He stated, "I hope those with a history of party destruction do not fall into youth-utilizing politics or show politics by putting young people forward."
