[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Future Korea Party, a satellite party for proportional representation under the United Future Party, directly refuted claims by Lee Jun-seok, a Supreme Council member of the United Future Party, who suggested the possibility of the Future Korea Party joining hands with the People’s Party.

On the 7th, Cho Soo-jin, spokesperson for the Future Korea Party, stated in a commentary titled "A Request to the Supreme Council Member," "A Supreme Council member from another party has been continuously making various claims about the Future Korea Party," addressing the issue.

This was in response to Lee’s remarks on CBS Radio’s "Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show," where he mentioned the possibility of a coalition negotiation group between the People’s Party and the Future Korea Party. He pointed out, "Although the Future Korea Party and the United Future Party were inevitably separated at the end of last year due to the 'Election Evil Law,' as of May 7, 2020, they are legally different parties," and added, "Supreme Council members should be cautious when making statements."

Spokesperson Cho criticized the weak basis of these claims, saying, "On the 1st, he also said that former leader Hong Joon-pyo’s rejoining through the Future Korea Party could be a certain method. Even as recently as the 6th, he claimed that the Future Korea Party and the People’s Party would form a negotiation group," and added, "Claims must correspond to facts and be supported by evidence."

She continued, "There are many factors behind the election defeat," and expressed hope, "However, as a Supreme Council member, I hope he deeply reflects on the responsibility for the defeat, contemplates how to apologize, and how to recover."
