[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Democratic Party lawmaker An Minseok warned fellow Democratic Party lawmaker Seol Hoon, who has been continuing his attacks on Lee Jae-myung, the final Democratic presidential candidate, saying, "I have no interest. I hope you do not cross the line any further."

An, who served as the chief special advisor for Lee Jae-myung's campaign, appeared on CBS Radio's 'Hanpanseungbu' on the 12th and said, "We have exercised considerable restraint so far."

He said, "Lawmaker Seol has consistently made very strong remarks and sometimes crossed the line, but just because they are senior lawmakers in Lee Jae-myung's camp, does that mean they have nothing to say?"

He continued, "Is it possible to call everyone back to replay the game because the score was miscalculated in the middle? The game is over. Players, referees, spectators, and the media have all withdrawn," he emphasized.

He added, "Especially, the President sent a congratulatory message to candidate Lee Jae-myung, Representative Song Young-gil visited the National Cemetery together yesterday, and Chairman Lee Sang-min, known within the party for being strict, firmly holds the belief that 'there is no revoking the final decision.'"

Lawmaker An said, "The primary election is a war without gunfire, and senior lawmakers in each camp have specific roles during the war," adding, "They must manage the atmosphere to prevent the primary from overheating and accept the results to become one team behind the scenes after the results."

He said, "In that regard, I feel quite disappointed and hope that the most senior lawmaker in the camp will fulfill that role at the end."

Earlier that morning, lawmaker Seol Hoon, co-chairman of candidate Lee Nak-yeon's campaign, claimed, "I hope (candidate Lee Jae-myung) does not get arrested, but the possibility is objectively very high," adding, "I met and spoke with several people. I met at least three involved parties."

He continued, "Due to various flaws that candidate Lee has, if things proceed as they are, there will be a critical defect in the one team. There are criminal records, scandals, and numerous issues that cannot all be counted, which are objective facts," emphasizing, "Can we win the general election if we go out in a state where there is no one team? Losing is an objective fact."
