[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Sang-hyun] Congressman Kim Du-gwan (Gyeongnam Yangsan-si Eul electoral district) emphasized unity and harmony within the Democratic Party of Korea following the April 7 by-election defeat.

On the 13th, Kim stated on his Facebook, "We must innovate while uniting, and unite while innovating, but under no circumstances should we be divided by the pro-Moon Jae-in frame."

Kim first acknowledged responsibility for the April 7 by-election results, saying, "The people have wielded a whip against the Democratic Party, and change and innovation must start from thorough reflection and introspection." At the same time, he stressed that the Democratic Party must not fall into division, urging, "We must have comradeship among each other to evaluate and correct mistakes."

He expressed concern about the pro-Roh and pro-Moon frames raised by some. Kim said, "If we were wrong, we must see through the essence of the issue," adding, "When the Democratic Party was divided and defeated, we lost President Roh Moo-hyun, and we must not repeat the same mistake."

Finally, Kim urged, "Through the party convention on May 2, which will elect new leadership, the Democratic Party of Korea must walk the path of change and innovation together," and emphasized once again that "the 2022 regime re-creation is possible only when the Democratic Party is united," calling for reflection and innovation based on the party's harmony.
