Gong Byeong-ho "Hard to Objectively Understand Opposition to United Party Nomination"

[Asia Economy reporters Lee Ji-eun and Kim Hye-min] Gong Byeong-ho, the head of the candidate committee of Mirae Korea Party, the sister party of the United Future Party, stated regarding the United Future Party's opposition to candidate nominations, "They may feel disappointed, but it is objectively difficult to understand their opposition."

On the 17th, Gong, on his YouTube channel 'Gong Byeong-ho TV,' said, "The talents recognized by the United Future Party and the six members of the candidate committee, including myself, inevitably differ, so different results were bound to come out." Opposition arose within the United Future Party as the talents recruited by the party were pushed down in ranking among the 40 proportional representation candidates announced by Mirae Korea Party.

He explained, "The perspectives, visions, and views of the future differ. I believe the proportional representation nominations should be thoroughly future-oriented. Of course, this nomination cannot be said to perfectly reflect the original plan, but each participant has a different plan."

He continued, "The reason the United Future Party is opposing is that only one out of about 20 recruited talents was included (within the top 20), but if they wanted perfect inclusion, they should not have appointed me as the head of the candidate committee." He added, "They may feel disappointed, but it is objectively difficult to understand their opposition."

Gong stated, "Since my appointment, I have consistently declared that talents from the United Future Party would not receive preferential treatment and would be treated equally with other applicants according to established procedures, and this was introduced to the media as well. It is normal and legal that Representative Hwang only received the ranking report after the media announcement."

He added, "Even Representative Han Seon-kyo said he received it at the end of the meeting, and I did not deliver it. It is proper to receive it after the meeting ends." Gong explained, "Receiving the list and manually approving it is different from the way I have lived. Human work is far from perfect, but nonetheless, as the head of the candidate committee of Mirae Korea Party, I clearly tell the public that this proportional representation nomination process was fairer and more transparent than any previous ones."
