[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo on the 9th addressed Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the United Future Party, saying, "Do not make the mistake of clinging to an over-80-year-old veteran politician who can no longer control his greed and emotions."

On the same day, Hong said on Facebook, "Floor leader Joo should pull the party together and move forward with the theory of self-strengthening."

Hong stated, "Kim Jong-in disparaged Moon Jae-in, calling him 'someone who can never become president,' and even left the Democratic Party, but Moon Jae-in became president. Due to mixing personal feelings into political judgment and making miscalculations, at that time, Kim's career as a political architect came to an end."

Hong added, "I oppose Kim Jong-in because I can no longer watch him recklessly leading the United Future Party into a quagmire by putting personal emotions first."
