[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo stated on the 14th, "To build a Korea that runs again against the destruction of the country by the left-wing regime, we must now tighten our shoelaces once more."

On the same day, Hong said on Facebook, "The presidential election is similar to a 400m hurdles race," adding, "Starting with this general election, the hurdles race for the presidential election has begun."

He explained, "YS was able to overcome the hurdles and win through the decisive merger with the opposing camp, and DJ overcame the hurdle of the 30-year 'red' frame by utilizing the DJP coalition and the IMF crisis."

He continued, "Lee Myung-bak overcame the BBK hurdle to become an economic president, and Park Geun-hye did not face significant hurdles, with the Park Chung-hee aura being the decisive factor for victory," adding, "In the last impeachment presidential election, conservative right-wing candidates stumbled over the hurdles of impeachment and Druking's public opinion manipulation without even exerting any effort."

Former leader Hong said, "Many hurdles lie ahead of us now, and only by not avoiding and overcoming those hurdles can we regain power."
