"'If the dens of 'Yunhaekgwan' like 'Paritte' or 'Hyena' are not cleaned up, there will soon be a line of people running out like the party leader.'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Soyoung] Seo Byung-soo, a five-term senior member of the People Power Party, warned Yoon Seok-yeol, the party's presidential candidate, saying, "The presidential candidate should first shut down the election camp that has been secretly kept. If the 'Yoon Core Group' dens like 'flies' or 'hyenas' are not cleaned up, soon, whoever it may be, there will be a line of people running out like party leaders."

On the 22nd, Seo posted on his Facebook, "This is the party I have served with my body and soul, so I am so frustrated to see it fall apart like this that I want to say a few words."

He pointed out, "Since (Kim Jong-in, the general election committee chairman) has been brought in, why does Yoon Seok-yeol not keep Kim Jong-in as a Yoon Core Group member by his side? Moreover, does the party leader lose dignity if he becomes a 'Yoon Core Group' member of Yoon Seok-yeol?"

He continued, "Not only the party leader but all supreme council members should serve quietly and the party positions should also be reorganized. Aren't they just throwing insults at each other both when facing and turning their backs?"

Regarding Kim Jong-in, the general election committee chairman, he said, "The general election committee chairman should dissolve the current election committee and reorganize it anew. If you say 'it is not possible to do a full-scale reorganization at this time' and just watch it like a bystander, then why cling to the position of 'general'?"

He raised his voice, saying, "Shouldn't you immediately follow the (Yoon Seok-yeol) presidential candidate and decisively decide on a shake-up and reorganization?"

Finally, he added, "Since the presidential candidate says he only has 26 years of experience as a prosecutor and does not know politics, I want to say one more thing: This party is not Lee Myung-bak's Grand National Party nor Park Geun-hye's Saenuri Party, whether you like it or not, it is Yoon Seok-yeol's People Power Party. Remember that all responsibilities, big or small, rest entirely on the presidential candidate himself."
