[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] On the 19th, Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, sent another message of courtship to former Bareunmirae Party lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo, who is returning to Korea, saying, "My intention to work together with all political forces pursuing free right-wing, liberal democracy, and market economy remains unchanged."

On the same day, after attending the event "The 90s Generation Comes to Yeouido - The Rebellion of the 20s Challenging the Established 86 Generation Politics" held at the party headquarters in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul, Hwang told reporters, "The same applies to former lawmaker Ahn," emphasizing his stance.

Hwang, who is dedicated to conservative unification, has been sending continuous love calls to former lawmaker Ahn. On the 13th, he appeared on KBS 'News9' and said about Ahn, "We are making efforts to bring him into the unification discussions," and on the following day, the 14th, he stated, "It would be greatly appreciated if (former lawmaker Ahn) came and played a role in the grand unification of the free right-wing."

However, former lawmaker Ahn has clearly drawn a line regarding conservative unification. On the 14th, through former secretary Kim Do-sik, Ahn informed the Innovation Unification Committee that "I have no intention to participate in politically engineered unification discussions."

Meanwhile, former lawmaker Ahn is scheduled to return to Korea around 4:40 PM on the same day via Incheon International Airport Terminal 1. This marks about one year and four months since he left the political frontline after losing the 2018 Seoul mayoral election and departed for Europe in September of the same year.
