[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Seung-min commented on the public apology by Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in and the internal party conflict on the 8th, saying, “Let's cross the river of impeachment. Let's first regain the hearts of the people who left our party after 2016,” and added, “If we incite division again over impeachment, it will only help extend the Moon Jae-in administration's rule.”

On the same day, Yoo said on Facebook, “If we truly want a regime change and want to punish the illegalities of the Moon Jae-in administration, we must now leave impeachment to history's judgment and unite as one.”

Yoo emphasized, “Let us unite and give hope to the people who have despaired under the tyranny of the Moon Jae-in administration. Let's demonstrate competence in revitalizing the economy and safeguarding security. Let's propose solutions to the era's problems of low growth, low birthrate, and polarization. Let's offer our alternatives to the people struggling with issues like jobs, real estate, and education,” and added, “Shouldn't we shake off the past, rise up, and become a healthy political force responsible for the future of the democratic republic in crisis?”

Yoo said, “If conservatives are divided because of impeachment, who will benefit? The Moon Jae-in administration and the Democratic Party, who confidently expect to extend their rule despite leaving the country in this state,” and stated, “Their loud claims that they will win the next election are because they believe conservatives will be divided again over impeachment.”

Yoo asked, “Do Korean conservatives truly want a regime change? If there is genuine will to govern, let's now move beyond impeachment,” and said, “Whether one supported or opposed the impeachment four years ago, everyone made a painful choice. Even after four years, if we continue to criticize each other's conscience and beliefs, the fights and divisions will never end. Isn't it time to understand each other's positions and reconcile?”
