[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Kim Geun-sik, the People Power Party Songpa-byeong district committee chairman, commented on former Minister Chu Mi-ae's potential presidential candidacy, saying, "Minister Chu's presidential run is truly 'Chunattaeng (Thank you if Chu Mi-ae runs)."

On the 13th, Kim posted on his Facebook, "Although it is Chunattaeng, if it is bearable, please do not do things that embarrass the people."

He explained, "If the Reform People's Movement Headquarters (Gaegukbon) pushes and former Minister Chu runs as a presidential candidate, the opposition party would be simply grateful," adding, "If Gaegukbon, which only makes nonsense claims under the banner of prosecutorial reform, takes the lead, the Cho Kuk incident will continue to be recalled in the presidential election, so it is not bad for the opposition party."

He continued, "The conflict between Chu Mi-ae and Yoon Seok-youl has increased former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl's stature and resilience. If former Minister Chu becomes a presidential candidate, it means that the two most disliked figures by the public in the presidential election, Cho Kuk and Chu Mi-ae, will be simultaneously recalled," emphasizing, "The opposition candidate's victory will be certain."

He added, "Although the appearance of Gaegukbon and former Minister Chu is ultimately a thank you, it is a secondary harm to the people watching this."

He also said, "Former Minister Chu may be excited and her heart may 'race,' but the people are so angry that their hearts may 'stop.'"

Earlier, on the 12th, former Minister Chu attended the launch ceremony of the Yeongnam branch of the Reform People's Movement Headquarters and said, "The reason we shouted 'We are Cho Kuk' at the Seocho-dong candlelight rally was because prosecutorial reform was that urgent," expressing gratitude by saying, "I was not lonely on the front lines of prosecutorial reform over the past year because you were with me."

She added, "My heart races at the 'We are Chu Mi-ae' hand signs and chants," and hinted at a presidential run by saying, "I will walk tirelessly on the path with you all, and I will also join in opening a world where honest sweat receives fair treatment."
