[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Min Jun-young] On the 21st, Jang Je-won, a member of the Future United Party, stated, "Now is the time to comfort each other rather than point fingers, reflect on our own mistakes, and have the mindset of 'it's my fault,'" urging restraint in criticizing Hwang Kyo-ahn, the former leader of the United Party who resigned taking responsibility for the defeat in the 21st general election.

In a post on his Facebook on the morning of the 21st, Representative Jang said, "This is the beginning of reform and reflection," making this request.

He continued, "Although I have criticized former leader Hwang many times, I hope criticism towards him will be restrained from now on," adding, "In any case, the election was a complete defeat, and the leader took responsibility and resigned."

He also said, "Looking back, whether former leader Hwang did well or not, he did his best," noting, "He took the lead in conservative reconstruction through a life-risking hunger strike, and although it was a somewhat late decision, he chose to run in Jongno, rejecting an easier path."

He added, "There are not many figures in our camp," emphasizing, "Experience as the leader of the main opposition party is an enormous political asset. We must cherish and support even one person so that they can play a role."

He concluded by saying, "I pray that former leader Hwang will overcome this tremendous failure and responsibility and return in a greater form."
