[Asia Economy Reporter Koo Chae-eun] On the 21st, Democratic Party lawmaker Seol Hoon appeared on KBS Radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strongest Current Affairs' and responded to the question, "Do you think lawmaker Lee Jae-myung will carry out a nomination massacre if he becomes the party leader?" by saying, "There are many such views."

He said, "Looking at the general stance of strong Lee Jae-myung supporters, they say things like 'We have to cut them all off,' 'We have to break all the watermelons,'" adding, "I don't know if this reflects Lee Jae-myung's intentions, but such positions are coming out very strongly."

Regarding concerns about an 'Lee Jae-myung-style nomination massacre,' Representative Seol emphasized, "I think it could happen. That's why many people have argued that it must be prevented and stopped."

He predicted, "Because of fears like 'There is a possibility of being excluded from nominations' or 'There is a possibility of failing the nomination,' people may not even speak up, and ultimately, the party could end up being torn apart."

Representative Seol said, "I am absolutely confident that I will never do that," and added, "Regardless of which faction I belong to, I think I am the only counterpart who can represent not just that faction's position but bring them together."
