Ahn Cheol-soo's Side: "Park Ji-won Is a 'Master of Changing Words,' Should Retire Now"

Kim Do-sik, former chief secretary and close aide to Ahn Cheol-soo, former leader of the People’s Party, criticized Park Ji-won, a member of the Alternative New Party, on the 10th, saying, "If your goal is to entertain the public with 'hearsay broadcast'-level remarks, it would be better for you to retire now and pursue a career as a professional broadcaster."

[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] Kim Dosik, former chief secretary and close aide to Ahn Cheol-soo, former leader of the People’s Party, criticized Park Ji-won, a member of the Alternative New Party, saying, "If your goal is to entertain the public with 'hearsay broadcast'-level remarks, it would be better to retire now and pursue a career as a professional broadcaster."

On the 10th, Kim stated in a press release, "I thought it was just a pastime for an old (老) politician, so I stayed silent, but it seems a bit excessive."

Earlier that day, Park appeared on CBS Radio’s 'Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show' and criticized, "Former leader Ahn Cheol-soo is originally conservative but disguised himself as progressive to become president and then reverted back," adding, "Even in Honam, where he was so strongly supported, people think, 'Are we going to be fooled once or twice?'"

Furthermore, regarding Ahn’s future position, Park predicted, "The Bareunmirae Party has about 10 billion won, and leader Sohn Hak-kyu said he would hand it over if Ahn returns to Korea, so returning there is the easiest way," and "He will aim for a conservative grand coalition with his loyal active lawmakers."

In response, Kim said, "You said not long ago that former leader Ahn would not return before the general election," and criticized, "This behavior of making statements that are quickly proven wrong reminds me not of a politician or prophet but a 'master of changing words.'"
