[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min said on the morning of the 13th during a meeting with the People's Power Secretariat labor union, "Even if I want to ask for your help, I will never bring up that request," adding, "I ask the Secretariat to maintain a strong center in this presidential election and to work hard for a fair primary and victory in the presidential election."

On the same day, former lawmaker Yoo held a meeting with the Secretariat labor union chairman and others at the People's Power party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, stating, "As someone who has worked hard with you all for many years, I sincerely ask for your support."

He said, "Although I ended up working in one camp, it was truly painful to see the Secretariat divided into pro-Lee and pro-Park factions, with the Secretariat itself getting caught up in factionalism and ranking. Knowing that our party could not move forward healthily and suffered repeated defeats in national elections due to such deep-rooted factional conflicts, I vividly remember how much the Secretariat staff worked for innovation in the winter of late 2016, even though it was five years ago."

In 2016, during the impeachment crisis of former President Park Geun-hye, Yoo Seung-min left the Saenuri Party and founded the Bareun Party. Yoo said, "I was away from the party for several years, but before the last general election, we came together again, and since those memories are all painful parts of our past, I hope we can blend them and work well for victory in the presidential election."

After meeting with the Secretariat labor union, Yoo also emphasized unity at a meeting with the People's Power aides' council. He said, "I wanted to visit earlier, but I hardly came to the National Assembly building until now. Coming after a long time, I really wanted to greet you all," adding, "I requested this visit because I wanted to hear various opinions about the presidential election we must win, and I thank you for allowing it."

Yoo continued, "I believe the flower of a political party is the Secretariat, and the flower of the National Assembly is the aides," adding, "I always hope that working as an aide in the National Assembly connects with their own dreams and visions." He also urged, "I hope the National Assembly aides' council can take the lead in forming a consensus among aides so that we can become one team later."
