[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Kim Jin-tae, a member of the Liberty Korea Party, mentioned rumors about Hong Nam-ki, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Strategy and Finance, and Lee Kwang-jae, former Governor of Gangwon Province, running for Chuncheon, saying, "I will organize everything and even escort them home."

At the New Year's meeting of the Liberty Korea Party Gangwon Province branch held at Chuncheon Sky Wedding Convention on the 9th, Rep. Kim said, "Seeing that people are coming from here and there, Chuncheon must be really good."

He added, "I heard Deputy Prime Minister Hong is also considering it, and the former governor (Lee) who used to serve is also interested," and said, "Don't worry too much and come to Chuncheon. I will take good care of you. If you come, I will organize everything and escort you home."

Regarding conservative unification, while Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, expressed his intention to "give up everything," Kim raised his voice saying that the right to nominate candidates should not be relinquished. He said, "No one opposes conservative unification, but during the unification process, telling our leader to 'step down as party leader' and 'give up all nomination rights' is going too far," and pointed out, "Even if unification happens, there must be principles and proper conduct."

Meanwhile, Leader Hwang emphasized that conservatism lost in the last general election due to division and called for renewal and unification to win the upcoming election. At the New Year's meeting, he said, "We lost the last general election because we were divided, but now we must unify," and added, "The way to judge the disastrous collusion between the Democratic Party and minor parties is to win this general election."
