[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the Future United Party, expressed his opinion that criticism of former leader Hwang Kyo-ahn should be "restrained" and that he should be cherished as a valuable asset of the party.

On the 21st, Jang said on his Facebook, "Whether Hwang did well or not, he did his best."

He added, "I have been someone who has criticized former leader Hwang a lot. However, I hope criticism of him will be restrained from now on," and said, "Anyway, the election was a crushing defeat, and the leader took responsibility and resigned."

Jang said, "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 easy path," emphasizing, "There are not many figures in our camp. Having experience as the leader of the main opposition party is an enormous political asset."

He stated, "We must cherish even one person and help them play their role," and added, "Now is the time to comfort each other rather than point fingers, and each person should reflect on their own mistakes with a mindset of 'it's my fault'." He continued, "This is the beginning of reform and reflection," and concluded, "I pray that former leader Hwang will overcome this tremendous failure and responsibility and return in a greater form."
