[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The Democratic Party of Korea expressed a positive stance on the election of Lee Jun-seok as the new leader of the People Power Party, saying "We welcome the change in conservatism."

Lee So-young, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, stated in a written briefing on the 11th, "We congratulate the People Power Party on the election of its new leadership and hope to create a new political future together."

She added, "The Democratic Party welcomes the change in conservatism. In the People Power Party, where 70% of members are over 50 years old and members from the Yeongnam region exceed the majority, the election of a young party leader will bring new expectations and tensions to the overall Korean politics, including the Democratic Party."

The spokesperson said, "We hope that the Democratic Party and the People Power Party will compete with freshness and competence to create a new future for Korean politics. The Democratic Party will also tighten its shoelaces and make continuous efforts."

She continued, "If politics until now was a battle between spear and shield, a fight between sword and axe, from now on we will offer the public refreshment through a contest between 'carbonated water' and 'cider.' Let's create such politics together."
