[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 10th that while there is a possibility of "going together" with former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, there is also resentment within the party regarding past investigations into the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations.

On the same day, Joo appeared on BBS Radio's Park Kyung-soo's Morning Journal and said, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon is not currently aligned with the Democratic Party or so-called pro-Moon factions," adding, "In terms of criticizing and blocking the Moon Jae-in administration's tyranny and destruction of the rule of law, the direction aligns with that of the People Power Party."

He continued, "Therefore, the possibility of going together is not zero," but added, "It seems it will depend on former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's choice."

Joo said, "There are some issues regarding the shared direction that we must unite our efforts, which need to be somewhat resolved, but as time passes, the outline will become clear," and added, "We have the broad direction that if we share the intention of regime change, everyone should come together."

However, he also conveyed that there is opposition within the party concerning past investigations of former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye.

When asked about the absence of a presidential candidate in the People Power Party, he said, "One year is an incredibly long time in an election," and began with the saying, "If you talk about tomorrow's matters, ghosts will laugh." He continued, "Even figures like former President Roh Moo-hyun remained at 2-3% a year prior," adding, "If a candidate is created through an inspiring unification process, the situation can change instantly."
