[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Party insiders expressed their welcome regarding former Board of Audit and Inspection Chairman Choi Jae-hyung joining the People Power Party.

On the morning of the 15th, former Chairman Choi met with People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, and immediately proceeded to apply for online party membership. Regarding his joining the People Power Party, former Chairman Choi explained, "Putting aside personal gains or losses, I judged that it is important to meet sooner with those who share my intentions and work together to design and build the future of our country."

Opposition presidential candidates, who are in competition with him, each expressed their welcome for former Chairman Choi's 'early joining.'

Representative Hong Joon-pyo said on Facebook that day, "I welcome former Chairman Choi's joining. I am once again grateful that a great resource for regime change has entered our party," adding, "I hope we all become one team and join together in the long journey toward regime change."

Former Representative Yoo Seung-min also emphasized, "Former Chairman Choi was a respected judge and a person of excellent character. I am pleased to compete in the presidential candidate primary with such a good person," and added, "I look forward to a fair competition toward the presidential election, which concerns the future of the country and its people."

Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong said, "I fully agree with the perception that the center of regime change is the People Power Party. Former Chairman Choi has proven the legitimacy of regime change by joining the party," and stated, "I expect that with the steadfastness and conviction he showed while performing the role of the Board of Audit and Inspection, overcoming the regime's persistent obstruction, he will be a great force in revitalizing the opposition, expanding its base, and achieving regime change."

Floor Leader Kim Ki-hyun said, "With the warm charisma of consistency between words and actions shown throughout his life, I hope he will become a new milestone for this country, which has been stained by unfairness, double standards, and cheating."
