[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo stated on the 8th, "The merger of the United Future Party and the Future Korea Party is the will of the people," adding, "If the Future Korea Party attempts to form a negotiation group with the 3-seat Ahn Cheol-soo Party, it would be another betrayal against the people's will."

On the same day, Hong said on Facebook, "I hope Won Yoo-chul, leader of the Future Korea Party, will immediately initiate the merger process once the floor leader of the United Future Party is elected."

Hong also said, "Leader Won is still young. While I understand the pain of temporarily leaving the National Assembly, one must leave with a clean record to have a justification to return."

He added, "Isn't the party name Future Korea Party much clearer and better than the ambiguous United Future Party? I sincerely hope Leader Won does not follow the footsteps of former Bareunmirae Party leader Sohn Hak-kyu."
