Kim Jong-in Denies 'Ahn Cheol-soo Alliance' the Next Day... Jang Je-won Says "No Matter What Anyone Says, He Is a Presidential Candidate"

Jang Je-won to Attend Ahn Cheol-soo's Invited Lecture Following Won Hee-ryong and Oh Se-hoon

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, will invite Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People Party, on the 15th to hold a special lecture titled "The Future of the Republic of Korea and Innovation Tasks of the Opposition." Following Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju, and Oh Se-hoon, former Mayor of Seoul, he is expected to present a future blueprint as an opposition presidential candidate.

On the 4th, Jang stated on Facebook, "The Korea Future Innovation Forum, a parliamentary research group where I serve as the representative member, will invite Leader Ahn to hold a special lecture."

Through the Korea Future Innovation Forum special lectures, Jang has previously invited opposition presidential candidates such as Governor Won in June and former Mayor Oh in July to listen to their visions.

On the 15th, he plans to invite Leader Ahn, who is simultaneously considered a candidate for Seoul mayor and president, to discuss innovation tasks for the opposition.

This lecture is particularly meaningful as it takes place after Kim Jong-in, the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, dismissed the idea of alliance by saying there is "no need to pay attention" to Leader Ahn.

Regarding Chairman Kim's remarks, Jang criticized on Facebook on the 3rd, saying, "Even if the anti-Moon Jae-in camp unites and allies, if they continue to divide, draw lines, and shut doors, it will not be 'People Power Party' but will degenerate into 'a clique's power.'"

Jang said, "No matter what anyone says, Leader Ahn is a prominent presidential candidate in Korea," adding, "Especially in a forum where many People Power Party members advocating for expansion and centrism participate, it is politically significant that Leader Ahn, who has a solid influence on the centrist group, is giving a lecture."

He added, "I am very curious about the future blueprint of Korea that he envisions," and said, "I look forward to whether he can present clear innovation tasks for the entire opposition and show a vision and charm that can secure the unified opposition candidate."
