[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Shin Bora, a Supreme Council member of the United Future Party, expressed self-reflection by saying, "This election was ruined because we only achieved mental victory among ourselves," and stated that appointing former General Election Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in as the emergency committee chairman is the best option.

On the 21st, Supreme Council member Shin wrote on her Facebook, "I wonder if the internal emergency committee will also end up as just a mental victory among ourselves," expressing this view.

This was aimed at the criticism within the party regarding the 'Kim Jong-in card' and the discussion about an internal emergency committee. She said, "They say they will gather opinions from lawmakers and elected groups, but I would like to ask you this: Kim Jong-in's emergency committee is the best choice for now," adding, "Although he is an outsider, he has experience with the party's system and delivers clear messages to voters more than anyone else."

She questioned, "They say an emergency committee led by outsiders is a failed model and therefore not acceptable. Was the party representative system through the 20th National Assembly's party convention considered successful and innovative?" She pointed out, "No matter who becomes the emergency committee or the leadership, the voters' perception of our party was not realistically faced, and the party failed because it did not focus on organizational reform, united effort, and message change, nor did the party become one in pursuing those goals."

Supreme Council member Shin said, "Isn't it time to take innovative and disruptive measures? Even if the emergency committee system achieves just one innovative goal for organizational reform through a cold analysis of the party's election defeat, it will be meaningful," adding, "I hope our party accepts the heavy defeat seriously and moves toward a wise system capable of self-reflection and change."
