[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] The newly appointed Supreme Council members of the People Power Party expressed a united determination to focus on "regime change."

On the 11th, at the People Power Party's national convention, Jo Soo-jin, elected as the senior Supreme Council member, stated, "The intention behind electing me to the presidential election leadership is to listen to the experience with the passion of a first-term member and to definitely achieve regime change."

Jo said, "The overwhelming support for me, a woman in her 40s from Honam, represents a revolutionary change, a storm-like change," adding, "We must look only at the historic goal of regime change, start anew, and unite completely as one. I will dedicate myself with sweat, effort, and tears for victory."

Assembly member Bae Hyun-jin also said, "I hope everyone remembers that we are a family united for regime change," emphasizing, "To win the presidential election, we will immediately mobilize potential candidates outside the party to create a presidential primary that attracts public attention and participation."

Former Assembly member Kim Jae-won expressed his ambition to stabilize the party's core. Kim said, "The business cards I handed out during the campaign read 'I will correct the party's center.' I think this is a request to restore balance," adding, "I will take the lead in navigating the rough waves of the presidential election and personally demonstrate stable regime acquisition."

Jeong Mi-kyung, a former Assembly member who has already served as a Supreme Council member in the party’s predecessor, the Liberty Korea Party, and was re-elected this time, said, "Like managing household affairs, I will carefully observe the points that those leading the fight at the front may overlook and always check to ensure the party moves in the right direction."

Kim Yong-tae, the Gwangmyeong district committee chairman who became a youth Supreme Council member after defeating an incumbent Assembly member, raised his voice, saying, "I will properly confront the hypocrisy of the 586 generation," adding, "True conservatism lies in the belief that one can succeed through personal effort without parental advantage and that human dignity can be upheld under any circumstances. I will meet with marginalized youth to give them hope."
