[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] Kim Eun-hye, a member of the People Power Party who declared her candidacy for party leader, directly criticized former lawmaker Na Kyung-won, who announced her intention to run for party leadership on the 20th, saying that "leadership of excuses" cannot lead to victory in the presidential election.

On the morning of the same day, Kim appeared on YTN Radio's "Hwang Bo-seon's Starting Morning" and responded to Na's mention of the "reverse voting" issue as the reason for her defeat in the Seoul mayoral primary by saying, "She is blaming others and the system rather than reflecting on herself," and added, "I want to ask if this fits the demands of the times. Excuses cannot overcome the presidential election situation."

Earlier, after being eliminated as a Seoul mayoral candidate on the 5th of last month, Na Kyung-won posted on her Facebook that the primary was conducted through a 100% national public opinion poll and described it as "an absurd primary rule where Democratic Party supporters effectively decide our party's candidate," mentioning that she failed to block the Democratic Party supporters' "reverse voting."

Regarding this, Kim said, "An organization in crisis inevitably faces limitations in leadership, content, and human resources," emphasizing, "With failed experiences and leadership of excuses, I do not expect content innovation or expansion of human resources."

This is not the first time Kim has targeted Na. On the 17th, she said, "We need to create a new framework, not just recycle old ones," and the next day, in response to Na's remark that "the challenges of first-term lawmakers are exciting," Kim said, "If it is exciting, it is right to support the party's change from behind the scenes."
