[Asia Economy Reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] Yoo Ui-dong, the responsible representative of the New Conservative Party, issued a warning message regarding the Preparatory Committee for the Unified New Party's (Tongjunwi) move to expand the Public Official Recommendation Committee (Gonggwanwi).

On the 13th, at the party leaders' meeting held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building, Representative Yoo stated, "The New Conservative Party firmly opposes the opinion of some members of Tongjunwi who advocate increasing the number of Gonggwanwi members."

He said, "If they shake the Gonggwanwi to pursue their own political interests, it is a very wrong act," adding, "The Gonggwanwi must proceed unwaveringly on the path of conservative reconstruction based on reform principles. I ask that actions and remarks that could be misunderstood as a proxy war of factional political interests be refrained from."

Representative Yoo emphasized, "All parties participating in the unified new party must not forget the failure from four years ago," and stated, "The New Conservative Party is focusing on achieving the conservative camp's victory in the general election by unconditionally relinquishing vested interests for conservative reconstruction, upholding the principles and spirit that Yoo Seung-min, the chairman of the Conservative Reconstruction Committee, sought to protect even by declaring his non-candidacy. This is aimed at correcting the Republic of Korea from the tyranny of the Moon administration, learning from past failures."

Jeong Un-cheon, a New Conservative Party lawmaker, said, "The new merger method must go through the final registration process with the National Election Commission (NEC) separately from the unified new party launch ceremony. For NEC merger registration, a decision must be made through a joint meeting of the entrusted organizations," adding, "With Hwang Kyo-ahn, the Korean Party leader, running in Jongno and Chairman Yoo's non-candidacy as the foundation, we will strive to ensure that the unified new party launch ceremony scheduled for the 16th proceeds smoothly, focusing on the new party registration requirements."
