[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] On the 9th, Lee Eonju, the representative of Future Forward 4.0, expressed "welcome" to Yoo Seungmin, a member of the New Conservative Party (Saebodang), declaring he will not run in the general election.

In a post on his Facebook that day, Representative Lee said, "I will do my best to support the great victory by contributing to grand unification and innovation."

He explained, "While conservative grand unification is urgent, there was an extreme internal veto against Yoo Seungmin and others, so whether Saebodang joined or not, and whether Representative Yoo insisted on running or not, the conservatives were in a divided situation."

He continued, "As I have claimed before, only Representative Yoo's decision not to run was the sole solution to resolve such a dilemma," adding, "I once again welcome Yoo Seungmin's decision and will work together for conservative innovation."

Representative Lee emphasized, "Now we will all unite tightly and, together with the people, stop the reckless actions of the Moon Jaein administration and protect South Korea's liberal democracy and free market economic order," and "We will definitely restore the collapsing Republic of Korea."

Earlier, Representative Yoo held a press conference at the National Assembly that morning and declared he would not run in the general election. Along with this, he announced plans to pursue a new merger with the Liberty Korea Party.

Representative Yoo stated, "At this moment, the only thing I can do is to put myself down. I will follow the people's will for conservatives to unite, but at the same time, to leave my sincere commitment to reform conservatism, today I declare that I will not run in the general election."

He added, "In deciding to merge, I thought of only one thing: the will of the people. To stop the reckless actions of the Moon Jaein administration that is ruining South Korea, I will follow the people's command for conservatives to unite," and said, "I will follow the people's command for conservatives to unite, be reborn, replace power in the general and presidential elections, and save South Korea from the crisis of national ruin."
