[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ga-yeon] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon commented on reports that Lee Hae-jin, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is proposing proportional representation alliance party dispatch to non-running lawmakers, saying, "Lead by example."

On the 16th, Jin posted an article titled "Lee Hae-chan personally persuades lawmakers to be dispatched to proportional representation parties... Kim Jong-in's failure to join the United Korea Party" on his Facebook, making this remark.

He sarcastically said, "They say the party cannot stop lawmakers who voluntarily go, so why does the leader personally go around persuading those who say they will not go?" and added, "The best way to persuade others is to set an example yourself."

He continued, "Leader Lee should take the lead in leaving the party and going to the proportional representation party," adding, "He must be the first to be dispatched for his words to have credibility."

Meanwhile, Leader Lee is scheduled to meet with non-running lawmakers from the 16th to the 18th, starting with a lunch with lawmaker Kang Chang-il. The party explained that the purpose is to offer consolation and gratitude, but it is expected that he will persuade them to be dispatched to the alliance party.
