[Asia Economy Reporter Kim So-young] Hyun Geun-taek, spokesperson for the Democratic Party of Korea's election countermeasures committee, criticized Shin Ji-ye, head of the Korean Women's Political Network, joining the Yoon Seok-yeol campaign, saying, "This representative is unnecessary and sends a message that she will not pay attention," and questioned, "Can you complete the presidential election with leadership that bypasses the party leader?"

On the 20th, Hyun posted on his Facebook, "I was uncertain when recruiting Professor Lee Soo-jung to the Yoon Seok-yeol campaign, but the recruitment of Shin Ji-ye sends a clear message," asserting this.

He claimed, "'What can the party leader do? To avoid being a first-term lawmaker, you have no choice but to help the presidential candidate,' is Yoon's perception."

He continued, "This attitude is similar to how they treat Representative Hong Joon-pyo. 'What can a defeated candidate do? To continue in politics, they have no choice but to help the presidential candidate,' is the attitude," and questioned, "Can you complete the presidential election with leadership that bypasses the party leader? Can you govern the country with leadership that bypasses primary candidates?"

Earlier that day in a meeting, Representative Lee told Representative Cho, "Respond to the negative reports about Chairman Kim Jong-in, the general election committee chairman, and myself coming from Yoon's core associates (Yoon Hae-gwan) in some media," to which Representative Cho retorted, "Why should I obey your orders?" Then Representative Lee said, "I am the standing election committee chairman, so whose orders should I follow?" and Representative Cho replied, "I only listen to the (Yoon Seok-yeol) candidate," after which Representative Lee reportedly slammed the table and left the meeting room.

Spokesperson Hyun referred to this, saying, "'Why should I listen to the representative? I only listen to candidate Yoon Seok-yeol,' these are the words Representative Cho said to Representative Lee today. This shows what kind of position Representative Lee holds in the People Power Party," he sharply criticized.
