[Asia Economy Reporter Shinwon Yoon] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Future United Party, criticized the Democratic Party, which excluded Kim Tae-seop, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, from the nomination, saying, "Rename yourselves as the Together for Cho Kuk Party."

On the 13th, Ha said on his Facebook, "Kim Tae-seop, who did not participate in defending Cho Kuk, was eliminated from the nomination," adding, "This is a warning from the pro-Moon faction telling those who do not defend Cho Kuk not to even come near the Democratic Party."

He pointed out, "The fanatical pro-Cho Kuk pro-Moon supporters are shamelessly flooding Kim Tae-seop's Facebook with mocking comments," and said, "At this point, it is not freedom of expression but 'madness.'"

He continued, "Thanks to their efforts, not only the nomination to defend Cho Kuk but also Hwang Un-ha, who is like the leader of the Ulsan government election fraud, passed the primary," and said, "The Democratic Party is turning this general election into one to protect Cho Kuk and the corrupt pro-Moon forces, but the people's choice will be a judgment against Cho Kuk and the pro-Moon manipulation."
