[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon advised Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Liberty Korea Party, saying, "To revive conservatism, Leader Hwang must abandon himself."

On the 2nd, Jin posted on his Facebook, quoting an article titled "Lee Nak-yeon 53% vs Hwang Kyo-ahn 26%... Jongo District hypothetical match-up poll," making this statement.

He said, "After all, he was the pitcher who handled the defeat of the impeached government. He must faithfully fulfill that role. He should humbly acknowledge the fact that he belongs not to the 'future' of conservatism but to its 'past.' In other words, he is a person from the government judged by the people, and he must accept as his role to endure the unfinished judgment until it is concluded," he pointed out.

He continued, "The time allowed to him is until the errors of past conservative administrations are cleared and a foundation for conservatism's new start is established. When that time comes, he should say that he will hand over his position to a new figure, a new generation responsible for the future of conservatism, and step down," emphasizing again.

Jin said, "Looking at the Jongo poll, it's a double score difference," but added, "Still, go out. It's a hopeless fight, but do your best and lose honorably."

He added, "Don't say you will judge the government; leave that to the voters," and criticized, "Voters do not yet see the Liberty Korea Party as qualified to judge anyone. That is the reality."

He advised, "Approach with a thoroughly humble attitude. Take this election as an opportunity to repent to voters who have already turned their hearts away from the current government but are still despairing about conservatism," and said, "Silently accept reproach from Jongo voters and show that image to voters nationwide. Only then will conservatism survive in the long term."

Finally, he said, "This is roughly how swing voters feel these days," adding, "Of course, I don't believe he will be able to do so."
