[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Sohn Hak-kyu, leader of the Bareunmirae Party, criticized on the 29th the 'Me too' allegations against Won Jong-geon (27), a talent recruited by the Democratic Party of Korea, saying, "It is even more problematic as the young talent in question was reportedly also offered recruitment by the Liberty Korea Party," and added, "The behavior of the two major parties treating the recruitment of young talents not as a political generational change but merely as a one-time election event is pathetic."

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Sohn said, "Our people are now disillusioned with the repeated old-fashioned political incidents that only aim for victory in the general election, with no sign of sound policy competition for livelihood and the economy."

Regarding Rep. Chae Yi-bae's resignation from the position of Policy Committee Chair, Sohn expressed, "It is very regrettable. We will strive to normalize the party going forward."

When asked, "What will you do if former Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo cannot join?" Sohn replied, "Please do not ask hypothetical questions."

About his meeting with senior Honam faction lawmakers within the party the previous day, Sohn said, "This is not something to discuss here."
