[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Recently, Jang Ye-chan, chairman of the Youth Foundation, who had a heated exchange with former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok regarding 'youth politics,' delivered a direct blow to Lee, saying, "I feel your anxiety, and it is very regrettable."

On the 22nd, Chairman Jang said on his Facebook, "I regret that former leader Lee made claims that are not based on facts during a morning radio show."

This was in response to Lee's appearance on YTN's 'News King Park Ji-hoon' that morning, where he pointed out, "(Chairman Jang) said something like, 'In the case of Kim Byung-min (party district committee chairman), he suffered disadvantages because he is part of the Kim Jong-in faction, which is natural.'"

Chairman Jang stated, "I have never mentioned Chairman Kim, who devoted himself to regime change until the end, in recent broadcasts. I only refuted those who spread conspiracy theories behind my press conference by saying, 'Isn't there actually another mastermind? I don't want to believe it,'" adding, "It seems former leader Lee based his remarks on one-sided claims pieced together by a hardcore fandom."

He continued, "Seeing former leader Lee miss the facts based on personal emotions, I feel his anxiety, which is very regrettable," emphasizing, "This is why I said we need to part ways with the hardcore fandom."

Chairman Jang said, "Former leader Lee, who intends to hold his aides responsible for making claims that are not based on facts, what responsibility do you plan to take for the false claims you made on the radio?" He added, "I hope you distance yourself from young loyalists who cannot utter a single harsh word to the hardcore fandom and former leader Lee, and listen to the advice of many senior politicians who care about you."
