[Asia Economy Reporters Naju-seok and Park Joon-yi] Seol Hoon, a member of the Democratic Party running for party leader, said on the 28th, "I will unite the party like the Democratic Party. I will open an era of great unity where only one united Democratic Party exists, transcending factions and generations."

During his preliminary speech for the party leader election held at the National Assembly that day, Seol said, "We were harshly punished by the people in the last presidential and local elections," adding, "Instead of fearing the people's anger, we treated it like sweet candy. We were afraid of the people's cold gaze."

He said, "I was afraid that the proud history of the democratic governments of Kim Dae-jung, Roh Moo-hyun, and Moon Jae-in would be completely ignored," and added, "I will revive the original spirit of the Democratic Party and open a new era for the Democratic Party."

To this end, Seol promised a Democratic Party with open channels of communication, the revival of district party organizations, 100% local primaries, regional branches of the Democratic Research Institute, and attention to people's livelihoods.
