[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 10th, Lee Won-wook, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, urged the dissolution of factions, saying that the early overheating of the party leadership battle ahead of the party convention is "the downfall of the Democratic Party due to factional struggles, 'a story that is still not over.'"

In a post on his social media (SNS) on the same day, Lee said, "We must recognize how much the party has been damaged by factional wars rather than policy lines, how much the camp logic has been strengthened, and that this led to Yoon Seok-yeol, the Prosecutor General, becoming president without properly seeing the person."

He added, "It is unreasonable to leave seeds that will ruin the party's future while reflecting on the past and present of the Democratic Party," and said, "Factions must be disbanded. The party belongs to the people and party members."

He also emphasized, "The issue of political hooligans is the same. Those loyal to the pro-Moon faction, who have enjoyed protection for a long time by neglecting hooligans, must first reflect," and "The pro-Myung faction should also keep in mind that political hooligans who currently use violent language will not help the Democratic Party and must take the lead in correcting political culture."

He continued, "Politicians are misleading the issue as if the pro-Moon and pro-Myung factions do not exist," and added, "All groups related to pro-Moon, pro-Myung, and pro-Nak (pro-Lee Nak-yeon faction), which the public is well aware of, must be disbanded."
