[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Hong Joon-pyo, former leader of the Liberty Korea Party, stated on the 7th, "I am the rightful heir of the opposition party," and added, "I will return to the party once the obstacles to rejoining are resolved."

At the 'Hong Joon-pyo Political Busking Part 2, Dongseong-ro Manmin Assembly' held in Daegu that day, when asked about the timing of his return to the party, Hong said, "There has never been a precedent where a politician was treated unfairly during the nomination process, entered the National Assembly, and then did not rejoin the party."

Regarding the Moon Jae-in administration, Hong criticized, "Politics scores 30 points, economy 10 points, North Korea policy zero points, defense policy 10 points," and said, "The achievements Korea has made over 70 years have been destroyed in just three and a half years."

Hong also said, "It is not right to side with Yoon Seok-youl just because you dislike Moon Jae-in," adding, "President Moon should choose between Yoon Seok-youl and Chu Mi-ae, dismiss both, or mediate their conflict."
