[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo stated on the 11th, "I have never heard the party's general election strategy until now, nor do I know its contents."

In a post on his Facebook that day, former leader Hong said, "I only learned this morning through a media report after I suggested Yangsan that the party had already proposed Yangsan to former lawmaker Kim Tae-ho," adding, "After dedicating 25 years to this party, I realized for the first time today that this is my position."

He also said, "I just saw the party's Hangang Belt plan for the first time in a Dong-A Ilbo report," and added, "I was surprised again to see it written as if I had prior knowledge of the plan and proposed the Yangsan and Gimhae belt."

Nevertheless, former leader Hong emphasized, "I will not abandon this party."

According to Dong-A Ilbo, the Korean Party is planning a so-called 'Seoul Hangang Belt' connecting the constituencies of former leader Hong Joon-pyo, leader Hwang Kyo-ahn, former floor leader Na Kyung-won, and former Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon as a metropolitan area strategy for the April 15 general election.

For this, former leader Hong must run in Seoul. However, he has indicated his intention to run in Yangsan, Gyeongnam.
