[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Former lawmaker Jeong Bong-ju announced that he would "embark on a new path" and plans to make a statement regarding the general election.

In the early hours of the 28th, Jeong posted on his Facebook, "Supporters of the democratic camp and reporters must have been very frustrated. I will hold a press conference shortly."

Jeong said, "This is a statement regarding the general election," adding, "Today, we embark on a path never before taken in the history of South Korean politics. Whether we face criticism or reap the fruits of success, I will take clear and firm responsibility for every step we take."

He also added, "We will all stake our political fate and set out on this path." Jeong designated a hotel near Yeouido as the venue for the press conference that morning.

Meanwhile, regarding reports that Jeong is launching 'The Blue Democratic Party,' a proportional representation party of the Democratic Party of Korea, he dismissed them as "completely false reports."

Earlier, Jeong hinted at the possibility of founding a proportional representation Democratic Party, saying, "It seems right to change the political arena where those who falsely claim to be 'dreamers' run rampant."

Regarding the Democratic Party's nomination management committee's disqualification ruling against him, he said, "They carried out an emotional punishment," and warned, "I will take corresponding action plans while observing the party's follow-up measures."
