[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] On the 12th, the Minsaeng Party criticized the embrace between Hwang Kyo-ahn, leader of the United Future Party, and lawmaker Yoo Seung-min at a joint rally in Cheonggye Plaza, Seoul, saying, "The United Future Party seems to be in a real hurry."

Lee Yeon-gi, spokesperson for the Minsaeng Party's election committee, stated in a commentary on the 12th, "I hope they realize that the people have not forgotten at all who drove this country to a desperate level before the Moon Jae-in administration," pointing out the issue.

On that day, Leader Hwang and Lawmaker Yoo met at Cheonggye Plaza for a joint rally. Since the official election campaign began, this was the first time the two appeared together, and it was also their first official meeting since the New Conservative Party merged with the United Future Party. It appears to be an effort to maximize the effect of conservative unity in the final days, three days before the election.

Regarding this, the spokesperson said, "Criticism can turn into comedy depending on who makes it," and added, "For the unqualified United Future Party, rather than self-contradictory criticism, proposing alternatives on what and how to do things would be a better election campaign method."

Recalling the 2018 merger of the People's Party and the Bareun Party, the spokesperson also pointed out that it was nothing more than a 'showing.' He said, "The awkward embrace between the two today also reminds us of a scene from the past. Lawmaker Yoo had also put on quite an impressive performance with Leader Ahn Cheol-soo at the time of the merger," and criticized, "Korean conservatism is too light."
