[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Kim Nam-guk, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, advised former Dongyang University professor Jin Jung-kwon, who said that Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung is someone who can purge the pro-Moon Jae-in faction (pro-Moon), to "stop sowing division."

On the 26th, Representative Kim said on Facebook, "I am grateful as a member of the Democratic Party that the all-knowing Jin Jung-kwon is concerned about Governor Lee Jae-myung," adding, "However, I hope the 'division sowing' stops now. The Democratic Party is always one team, doing well, and will continue to do well in the future."

Earlier, on the 25th, former professor Jin pointed out in an interview with a media outlet, "The current ruling faction is showing movements beyond just checking the top candidate Lee Jae-myung, fearing that if he takes power, he will completely overhaul the pro-Moon faction, trying to ostracize and exclude him."

He continued, "Although Governor Lee Jae-myung's approval rating is high, his position within the Democratic Party does not seem secure," and claimed, "He is someone who can purge the pro-Moon faction at any time, and the ruling party feels threatened by him."

Furthermore, he analyzed, "For this reason, the ruling party is pinning hopes on the Supreme Court ruling on pro-Moon heir Kim Kyung-soo while accelerating moves to ostracize Governor Lee," adding, "The proposal to delay the Democratic Party's primary is also an attempt to buy time for Kim by postponing the primary, giving an opportunity to the pro-Moon heir."

A representative from Governor Lee’s side responded, "Governor Lee’s goal is the success of the Moon Jae-in administration and the reestablishment of the Democratic Party’s government," and added, "He firmly intends to respond decisively to any attempts to sow discord within the party."
