[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] While senior party members such as former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Jun-pyo and former Gyeongnam Governor Kim Tae-ho insist on running in their hometowns, Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the Korean Party, once again pressured them to run in challenging districts, saying, "They will understand the will of the people well."

On the 10th, right after holding the Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly main building, Hwang told reporters, "The most important thing is the will of the people."

He said, "What the people want should be the standard. I believe those who have been in politics for a long time understand this well, and by gathering such forces, we will make sure the Korean Party can win."

Regarding the meeting with Yoo Seung-min, chairman of the Conservative Reconstruction Committee of the New Conservative Party, he was reserved, saying, "We are making efforts." About Yoo’s proposal the previous day for party staff employment succession as part of the new party merger, Hwang said, "Great unity should not be beneficial to some and detrimental to others," adding, "We will ensure sufficient discussion through the new party merger preparation committee."

On the same day, the Korean Party held a parliamentary meeting to discuss legal procedures for the merger with the New Conservative Party. Hwang said, "There was a resolution to proceed with legal procedures for the merger and to accept those who left the party to unite in fighting the Moon administration," adding, "The Moon administration is still damaging the country, and this general election will be one to stop that, revive the Korean economy, and restore people’s livelihoods."
