[Asia Economy Reporter Seoyoung Kwon] Lee Jun-seok, the leader of the People Power Party, expressed that he is "fed up" with the calls within the party for unification with Ahn Cheol-soo, the candidate of the People’s Party.


On the 6th, Lee posted on his Facebook, saying, "Could it be anonymous attacks again? I am about to be fed up." The term 'anonymous attacks' mentioned by Lee appears to target an interview given anonymously to the media by Representative A, one of the People Power Party’s proportional representatives, the day before.


At the end of last year, Lee clashed with an anonymous faction known as 'Yunhaekgwan' (key associates of Yoon Seok-yeol), and recently, he seems to be engaged in a tense standoff by drawing a line against candidate unification. During the interview, Representative A stated, "Although Lee and others draw a line against unification with candidate Ahn and do not speak about it publicly, there are quite a few lawmakers internally who agree on the necessity of unification."



In the interview, Representative A also said, "Lee’s recent words and actions may appear somewhat arrogant to the public." He pointed out, "It is not only about winning but also about how to win that is very important," adding, "To resolve the current situation of a minority government, we must achieve regime change through unification."
