[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 3rd regarding concerns about the defection of the Daegu·Gyeongbuk (TK) support base, "Don't create and exaggerate things that are not true."

After the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Joo told reporters, "There is a feeling in the region, but that is not the case at all."

Joo said, "How can the party continue its moves toward Honam? The day before, we were negotiating the budget in TK, and tomorrow we are going to Busan," adding, "It seems like there is prejudice and division."

Regarding next year's by-elections and re-elections, Joo said, "Is the Democratic Party promoting candidates within the party now? Once the rules are set and the primary management begins specifically, it will naturally happen," adding, "Since the election is nearly six months away, saying that candidates are not being promoted now seems like a hasty criticism."
