Kim Won-sung Leaves United Party, Declares Independent Candidacy ... "Will Uncover the Truth Behind MeToo Allegations"
[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Jonghyo] Former Future United Party Supreme Council Member Kim Wonseong, whose nomination was canceled due to an unverified Me too allegation of unknown origin and content, has declared his independent candidacy.
On the afternoon of the 27th, former Supreme Council Member Kim held a press conference in front of the Busan City Council and stated, "My family and I were brutally attacked and even my nomination was ruthlessly stolen due to a Me too accusation letter that could neither be disclosed nor verified. All my cries to uncover the truth were mercilessly trampled. I have decided to run to ensure the truth is revealed and to punish those who used privileges to commit unfair acts."
Former Supreme Council Member Kim raised his voice, saying, "I founded the Jeonjin Party together with young party members, driven by the historical mission to correct the current government's failures and save the country from crisis. I have taken the lead in uniting conservatives beyond ideology, class, and generation to correct the tilted political playing field."
He continued, "Having shouted for unity more passionately than anyone else, I made this difficult decision with a heart that feels like vomiting blood," and added, "I am leaving the party and running as an independent."
