[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Future United Party Supreme Council Member Lee Jun-seok said on the 3rd about Emergency Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in, "I think a barrage of verbal attacks will pour out," adding, "In 2012, when the emergency committee was in place, internal opposition prevented certain things from being realized, but this time, I think all those issues will be brought up. Among them was the idea of 'conservative deletion.'

Lee, the former Supreme Council Member, said on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' that "at that time, conservative deletion was a hot topic, but it was not achieved due to strong opposition."

Regarding opposition within the party, Lee said, "Chairman Kim is someone who is closer to a politician on the borderline between politics and economics," and added, "So far, there have been criticisms and rebuttals of his political line in the early stages, but when it comes to concrete debates, it is difficult to counter him."

On the topic of basic income, Lee said, "In fact, during the Park Geun-hye administration, the basic pension system and the basic old-age pension system were actually extensions of the basic income system," and added, "Since Chairman Kim was the most vigorous promoter of those, I believe this attempt could be made again this time."
