[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Former Dongyang University professor Jin Joong-kwon pointed out on the 15th, "To be frank, the United Future Party has no brain. It has no brainpower."

On the same day, Jin attended as a speaker at the "Talking about the 21st General Election! Lost Conservative Politics, What is the Solution?" debate hosted by United Future Party lawmakers Yoo Ui-dong and Oh Shin-hwan, analyzing the reasons for the party's defeat in the April 15 general election.

Regarding the controversy caused by the United Future Party's candidates' offensive remarks before the election, Jin said, "Society has become sensitive, but (the United Future Party) does not understand why that was wrong," and pointed out, "They need to restore the modernity of social science and ethical awareness."

He continued, "Failing to cross the 'River of Impeachment' led to the election defeat," and criticized, "The fact that former leader Hwang Kyo-ahn, the losing pitcher of the impeachment regime, took control of the party means they cannot acknowledge the impeachment. Therefore, they could not become the main force of regime judgment."

Jin suggested republicanism as the path the United Future Party should take going forward. He said, "What they (the ruling party) have destroyed is fairness. They keep turning public interests into private ones, destroying the republic," and added, "Although Cho Kuk was removed, this frame continues with the Justice Memory Solidarity (Jeonguiyeondae)."

He added, "While the aging conservative base clings to identities such as the Park Chung-hee era industrial warriors and anti-communism, they have failed to present an alternative narrative to make the new forces that emerged after the 1980s into conservatives," and said, "They must return to the battlefield where they compete for these people's hearts."
