[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Hong Joon-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, raised his voice against former Gyeonggi Governor Kim Moon-soo, saying, "He is now going as far as he can."
On the 6th, Hong posted on his Facebook, addressing former Governor Kim, "He started to fall apart by abandoning his essence and pretending to be pro-Park during the Park Geun-hye administration, and now he clings to Yoon Seok-yeol, acting as a pro-Yoon shock troop. It is truly regrettable," he said.
Earlier, on the 5th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, announced a reform plan that included dismissing Kim Jong-in, the general election committee chairman, dissolving the existing election committee, and establishing a practical election headquarters to maximize mobility. It is known that the newly established election headquarters will be headed by four-term lawmaker Kwon Young-se.
Following the announcement of Yoon's election committee reform plan, former Governor Kim said on his Facebook on the 5th, "Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol took the drastic step of dismantling the election committee to remove Kim Jong-in," adding, "It will be a one-stone-three-birds strategy to catch Park Geun-hye, Hong Joon-pyo, and Ahn Cheol-soo."
In response, Hong said, "It is truly regrettable to see the dismantling of Yoon Seok-yeol's election committee being flattered as a brilliant strategy to catch Park Geun-hye, Hong Joon-pyo, and Ahn Cheol-soo," adding, "No matter what, Yoon will not extend a hand to former Governor Kim, who has transformed into 'TeulTube,' to entrust him with an important role." 'TeulTube' is a portmanteau of 'teulni' (dentures) and 'YouTube,' mocking extreme right-wing YouTube channels.
