[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Son Hak-gyu, the Standing Election Committee Chairman of the Minsaeng Party, criticized Hwang Kyo-ahn, the leader of the United Future Party, on the 14th, a day before the April 15 general election, saying, "What has he done since becoming party leader? He shaved his head and went on a hunger strike," and added, "If there is one thing he is good at, it is playing the saxophone well."

On the afternoon of the same day, during a campaign rally supporting Kim Gwang-jong, the Minsaeng Party candidate running in Gangnam-eul, Seoul, Son said, "Everyone, are you going to vote for candidate number 2, the United Future Party? Even I think it's too much," and added, "They only have a desire for power and are engaged solely in a power struggle."

Regarding the government and ruling party, he stated, "I am definitely not on the side of President Moon Jae-in or the Democratic Party of Korea," and criticized, "President Moon is doing politics very poorly right now. The economic policies are also wrong."

He continued, "Income-led growth, no matter what anyone says, is a leftist ideological biased and flawed economic policy," adding, "That is why our country's economy has collapsed like this."

Targeting the People’s Party, Son criticized, "Ahn Cheol-soo, the leader of the People’s Party, who claims to uphold democracy, is not fielding any district candidates but only proportional representation candidates," and questioned, "What does running a solo marathon have to do with politics that he runs around asking for votes?"

Son said, "Which affiliation does the People’s Party belong to? They have publicly confessed to being the second squad of the United Future Party. Should we vote for such a party?" and added, "We need to create a livelihood party and a pragmatic party in the third zone and form a coalition government. You should vote for number 3, the Minsaeng Party."
