[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon warned Yang Jung-chul, head of the Democratic Research Institute, who outlined the Democratic Party's general election strategy by saying, "Let's see if voters are really pawns," regarding the Democratic Party's decision to join the proportional representation coalition party.

On the 10th, Jin wrote on his Facebook, "Yang Jung-chul is already assuming a situation without the Justice Party," expressing this view.

He said, "Even if the Justice Party does not participate, it does not hinder achieving their goals at all," adding, "It would be better if they don't participate. Anyway, those 17 seats will soon belong to the Democratic Party."

He went on to point out, "In the end, encouraging the Justice Party to participate is just about building a facade."

Jin argued, "Originally, it is the voters who decide how many seats to give to which party," but "Yang Jung-chul believes he can decide that himself."

He emphasized, "For him (Yang Jung-chul), voters are pawns playing on the board he has set up," calling it "a truly frighteningly arrogant thought."
