[Asia Economy Reporter Heo Midam] Min Byung-doo, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 24th, "It is a priority for the United Future Party to persuade the Jeon Gwang-hoon rally."

Min appeared on YTN Radio's 'Noh Young-hee's Start of a New Morning' on the same day and said about the Moon Jae-in Resignation National Struggle Headquarters (Beomtu-bon), which forcibly held a rally at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul for two days starting from the 22nd, "As you know well, there is a political group that is closest to them," adding, "I think it is a priority for the United Future Party, which has been on the streets with them for the past year, to persuade them."

He continued, "Hwang Kyo-ahn, the leader of the United Future Party, had a very strong tendency to view political phenomena through a religious worldview," and said, "Rather than being anxious that the United Future Party might be highlighted as being connected to Shincheonji or Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon, it would be politically beneficial for the United Future Party to show political firmness, persuade them, and calm them down."

Min also commented on Hwang's claim that the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions should be declared special disaster areas, saying, "I think our party's floor leader probably said the same thing. Declaring special disaster areas nationwide, in my view, seems to require an emergency financial order," adding, "Although Daegu and Gyeongbuk are serious, the economic situation is not better in other areas. The sense of crisis is the same."

He added, "It is time to consider extraordinary measures, including the president's emergency financial and economic order authority. If we cannot endure the downside risks here, the economy will become very difficult and recovery will be challenging."
