Hong Jun-pyo Targets Young Faction Opposing Reinstatement: "Attention Seeker Only Slandering Senior Party Members"

"The opponent can't attack and only acts as the alley boss within their own territory"

Hong Joon-pyo, Independent Member of Parliament

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Independent lawmaker Hong Jun-pyo sharply criticized the moderate faction of the People Power Party who oppose his return to the party, saying, "You were elected to attack the opposition, but instead of attacking the opposition, you are only trying to grow as attention seekers by slandering senior members within the party. This is a poorly learned political behavior."

On the 17th, through Facebook, Rep. Hong said, "They are too scared to attack the opponent and only act like gang leaders within their own camp, playing into the false slander frame the opponent has imposed, and attacking me with absurd slander," criticizing them.

This was in response to the backlash from first-term lawmakers and the moderate faction surrounding Rep. Hong, who recently expressed his intention to return to the party.

He added, "The Democratic Party verbally abuses their own sister-in-law with harsh language, pretends to be single to the opposition, and engages in vulgar free love, but because they are on the same side, they do not criticize each other even when faced with facts," making a comparison.

The ruling party's presidential candidate, Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, was previously embroiled in controversies such as the 'sister-in-law verbal abuse scandal' and a 'scandal with actress Kim Bu-seon.'

He continued, "I will no longer engage in this ridiculous debate," and urged, "Be more cautious, carefully observe where to attack, and learn mature politics."
