[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] Park Yong-jin, a member of the Democratic Party who declared his candidacy for party leader in the August 28 Democratic Party convention, said he will seek unification to break the 'Eodaemyeong' (Anyway, the leader is Lee Jae-myung) frame.

In an interview on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' on the 12th, Park said, "Unification should naturally be opened and actively discussed whether before or after the cut-off." He added, "I will not limit the unification target to only the 97 generation. I believe that this will create a dynamic party convention that the public desires and break the old frame called Eodaemyeong."

Park pointed out, "The Democratic Party received 45-50% support as the 'Impeachment Political Alliance,' but due to various disappointments, only 25-30% support remains now. Within this 'Residual Democracy,' Lee is receiving overwhelming support. However, it has been clearly shown in the last two consecutive election defeats that we cannot win elections with only this residual democracy." He emphasized, "We need to regain the support of moderate conservative voters who previously supported the Democratic Party."

He also said, "In conservative circles, there are continuous poll results showing that I am beating Lee. Park Yong-jin is the key to the victory square that the people are waiting for."
