[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo stated on the 17th regarding the 'Emergency National Crisis Coalition for Ending Tyranny and Achieving Democracy,' a united struggle organization of conservative parties and civil society groups, “After the crushing defeat in the general election, the newly established Kim Jong-in emergency committee system has lost its way over the past six months and has become a secondary force to the Democratic Party,” adding, “Seeing this, we could no longer stand by and decided to come together to form an anti-Moon Jae-in coalition for a united struggle against the government.”

On the same day, Hong said on Facebook, “Some left-wing media disparage us as far-right groups or Taegukgi factions, but is there even a single far-right force in South Korea that aims for totalitarianism?” He added, “This is just a framing by left-wing media who do not even understand the concept of the far right.”

Hong also stated, “Currently, there are extreme left forces in South Korea, but not a single extreme right force,” and “The Emergency National Crisis Coalition will organize its system by the end of the year and will tour nationwide from the new year to carry out a vigorous struggle against the government.”
