On the 8th, lawmakers belonging to the pro-Moon (pro-Moon Jae-in) core group ‘Bueong-i Meeting’ visited a meeting between former Prime Minister Chung Sye-kyun and lawmaker Lee Kwang-jae, who have unified their candidacies. At this meeting, the lawmakers referred to former Prime Minister Chung as “the person who will carry on the party’s identity following Kim Dae-jung, Roh Moo-hyun, and Moon Jae-in.”

Former Prime Minister Chung and lawmaker Lee held a ‘Future Economic Policy Meeting’ on the morning of the same day at the Korea Federation of Micro Enterprise in Yeouido, Seoul. Hong Young-pyo, a member of the Bueong-i Meeting who attended the meeting, said, “The next government must overcome the achievements and limitations of the Kim Dae-jung, Roh Moo-hyun, and Moon Jae-in administrations, supplement what was lacking, and create a new vision for the Republic of Korea,” adding, “Lawmaker Lee’s vision and former Prime Minister Chung’s identity represent the party’s history. It is important to bring these together.”

Hong said, “I believe the Democratic Party must produce a candidate who can implement constitutional amendments, lead party-centered governance, resolve polarization, and realize peace on the Korean Peninsula, and through that candidate, win the presidential election. I intend to work together on this,” adding, “The burden on former Prime Minister Chung’s shoulders has grown heavier. I sincerely hope for his victory.”

Lawmaker Kim Jong-min also said, “When it comes to who is most suitable to lead the new era, I think Representative Lee Nak-yeon also has potential, but objectively evaluating leadership, former Prime Minister Chung is the most appropriate,” and raised his voice, saying, “If former Prime Minister Chung raises his voice a bit more so that at least our citizens and party members know ‘this is Chung Sye-kyun’s voice,’ the primary race will become more dynamic and the chances will definitely increase.”

Lawmaker Lee, who agreed to unify, said, “I hope former Prime Minister Chung will put in more effort so that we can open the era of the 7th Republic and live well together,” adding, “Chung Sye-kyun and Lee Kwang-jae both passionately love the Republic of Korea, so we will gather our aspirations and build it together.”

Former Prime Minister Chung said, “It has been three days since I gained a great force today. I have developed a feeling that victory is possible and have gained confidence,” adding, “If lawmakers from both sides, including Representative Hong and Representative Kim, work hard together, we can definitely bring about change. Please fulfill your roles and help us achieve regime continuation with Chung Sye-kyun.”
