[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Boryeong] The People Power Party criticized Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party candidate for Seoul mayor, urging her to humbly participate in the election regarding her 'major decision.'


On the 5th, Bae Jun-young, spokesperson for the People Power Party's Central Election Committee, stated in a commentary, "The major decision Park must make is to humbly engage in the election from now on, empathizing with the purpose of the by-election and the pain of the victims."


Spokesperson Bae pointed out, "Park's major decision seems to be about wearing the jacket with the Democratic Party's name on it again," adding, "How deeply must she have pondered before reaching this decision?"


On the 2nd, Jin Seong-jun, head of strategic planning for the Democratic Party's election committee, issued an urgent statement regarding candidate Oh's land controversy in Naegok-dong, saying, "We cannot rule out a major decision."


Spokesperson Bae remarked, "Voting for Park means voting for former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, former Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, Representative Yoon Mi-hyang, and Representative Park Joo-min of the Democratic Party," adding, "It is quite fortunate that she is not resigning and will face judgment from Seoul citizens."



He continued, "Does Park have nothing to offer the 10 million Seoul citizens during the election period except 'Saengtaetang' (spicy fish stew)?" and said, "I even feel a sense of pity for this 'hypocritical,' 'incompetent,' and 'double standard' regime that has been holding on to the 'Saengtaetang story' for a month already."
