[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Joo-hee] Former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won indirectly criticized party leader Lee Jun-seok, questioning whether he truly represented the 20s and 30s generation, saying, "There are regrettable aspects in his recent actions."

In an interview on CBS Radio's 'One-on-One Match' on the 5th, when asked about Lee, who is currently under pressure to resign from his leadership position, Na said, "Lee has many strengths," but added, "There are also many critical views regarding his recent conduct."

Regarding the criticism that "Lee symbolizes something, but he seems to take it lightly, and now the entire 20s and 30s generation has fallen away," she responded, "Well," and said, "We have not taken the 20s and 30s generation lightly. I question whether Lee truly represented the 20s and 30s generation properly."

She continued, "Although the pressure for resignation within the party has intensified, Candidate Yoon stated that the resignation issue is 'not his jurisdiction,' and asked Lee to resume his role in the election campaign as party leader," adding, "So, I hope he will play a role again for the victory in the presidential election."

Regarding Candidate Yoon's decision to completely dismantle the election campaign committee and downsize it into an election headquarters (Seondae Headquarters) on the same day, Na evaluated, "Since being selected as the candidate, he has really lost a lot of support over the past two months. It was necessary to show change and a new start from now on, so I see it as a meaningful decision."

When speculations arose that Na might join Candidate Yoon's Seondae Headquarters, she denied it, saying, "From the beginning, I said I would serve quietly without seeking a position." However, she left open the possibility of joining, stating, "If necessary, even a minor position would be acceptable, but I believe my role now is to serve quietly."
