[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The New Conservative Party reacted strongly to Bareunmirae Party leader Sohn Hak-kyu's remark that former lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo, who demanded the position of emergency committee chairman, is "no different from leader Yoo Seung-min."

On the 27th, Ji Sang-wook, chief spokesperson and co-leader of the New Conservative Party, stated in a commentary, "I hope Sohn Hak-kyu, leader of the Bareunmirae Party, does not unnecessarily involve the innocent Yoo Seung-min to attract media attention."

He emphasized, "Leader Yoo has never demanded party leadership or an emergency committee position," adding, "It is false and despicable for Leader Sohn Hak-kyu to involve Leader Yoo Seung-min regarding former lawmaker Ahn Cheol-soo's demand for the emergency committee chairmanship. Do not drag in Leader Yoo, who is unrelated to whatever Sohn Hak-kyu and Ahn Cheol-soo do."

Meanwhile, former lawmaker Ahn met with Leader Sohn in the afternoon of the same day and demanded the position of emergency committee chairman. In response, Leader Sohn expressed willingness to consider it but showed discomfort, saying, "There is no difference from what the Yoo Seung-min faction has said."
