[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] On the 25th, Hong Joon-pyo, the People Power Party presidential candidate and member of the National Assembly, confidently stated, "We are aiming for a golden cross around the time of Chuseok."

On the same day, Hong appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "About 50% of the People Power Party's support base is with candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, so he is maintaining first place. If that collapses, it will collapse immediately," adding, "It will be easier to achieve the golden cross through full-scale debates and mutual verification."

He said, "After the debates, there is the Chuseok public sentiment," and added, "Once the Chuseok public sentiment circulates nationwide, most of the decision on which candidate with what qualifications, morality, and ability will be sent to the general election will be formed by that Chuseok public sentiment."

Recently, Hong has been nicknamed 'Muyahong.' This term was created by the 2030 generation on the internet and means 'Unconditionally, the opposition candidate is Hong Joon-pyo.'

Regarding Kim Jae-won, a Supreme Council member who requested disciplinary action from the party's Ethics Committee at the campaign office the day before, Hong criticized him, saying, "He was the political secretary who ruined the Park Geun-hye administration," and added, "He is aiming to become mayor of Daegu, so it is inappropriate for him to actively lead the camp of a strong candidate."

Regarding the announcement by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, he said that such measures are significant for the opposition party. Hong interpreted, "(Representative Lee Jun-seok) could have suppressed it. Since it has been transferred to the Special Investigation Headquarters, we will decide after seeing the judicial measures' results. What would happen if he announced that?" and added, "Because Representative Lee is present, he was able to discuss with all the Supreme Council members and take action against six people."
