[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Ryu Hojung, a member of the Justice Party, recently commented on the rising approval ratings of Hong Junpyo, a presidential primary candidate from the People Power Party, calling him "Angry Hong, a somewhat entertaining person," and said, "Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seokyoul was, to put it one-sidedly, quite boring." 'Angry Hong' is a nickname for Hong.

On the 6th, Ryu appeared on CBS Radio's 'Hanpanseungbu' and said, "It's not that Hong Junpyo has done something exceptionally captivating, but it seems that recently public opinion and the media have taken a liking to promoting Hong Junpyo," adding, "I think it will continue to arouse people's interest."

Regarding the possibility of a 'golden cross' between former Prosecutor General Yoon and Hong, he predicted, "I think it might be possible for a short time."

When asked by the host whether "Hong has no appeal to women in their 20s," he replied, "That's true," and added, "Because when you see Hong's so-called patriarchal attitude, it really feels like he lives in a completely different world. How should I put it, it doesn't even make me angry."

Jin Joongkwon, a former professor at Dongyang University who appeared as a panelist that day, said, "A golden cross is difficult," and added, "If candidate Yoon Seokyoul manages this situation (the allegation of report solicitation) smoothly, although he will suffer some political damage, in fact, Hong is more popular among Democratic Party supporters than People Power Party supporters. It seems he chose the wrong party."

He continued, "Looking at the current situation, it's not normal but temporary, so a golden cross is impossible, but the variables are so large now that depending on the case, it could happen. So it's a question mark."
