[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Shin-won] Park Ji-won, a member of the Minsheng Party, said regarding the party failing to secure even one seat in the April 15 general election, "If a party that once held 20 seats in the National Assembly fails to win even one seat, it means the people have abandoned it."

On the 21st, Park appeared on YTN Radio's 'Noh Young-hee's Start of a New Morning' and said, "Just mentioning the Minsheng Party during the election was a negative factor, and even without speaking, you could hear the sound of votes dropping."

He continued, "The Minsheng Party should have done things to help the candidates on the front lines," and analyzed, "They quarreled and failed to show policies or unity as an alternative force, so they were abandoned."

Regarding the United Future Party initially advocating for emergency disaster relief funds to be given to all citizens but then changing their stance to the bottom 70% income earners, he criticized, "If you absolutely oppose it, then promise to give 500,000 won per person during the election, and then oppose it again, is that even a party?" "That's why they suffered a crushing defeat."

He added, "We must boldly provide 1 million won per person and 4 million won for a family of four as COVID-19 relief," and said, "We have to save people before they die. Right now, ordinary citizens are in utter chaos."
