[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] As opinions within the People Power Party have emerged suggesting that the next party leader should be chosen 100% by party member votes regarding the party convention rules, the 'BiYoon (Non-Yoon)' faction, including former leader Lee Jun-seok and lawmaker Kim Woong, have voiced their opposition. This is due to suspicions that suddenly changing the rules is aimed at disqualifying a specific individual.

On the 14th, former leader Lee Jun-seok posted on Facebook, criticizing the recent debate over the party convention rules by saying, "In common sense, no matter how the entrance exam system changes, those who are meant to go to university will eventually go."

He pointed out, "However, if the entrance exam system is changed beyond the bounds of common sense, liberal arts students would end up writing science and engineering papers and entering medical school, causing confusion," adding, "The moment you cut the top-ranked and send them to the fifth-ranked university, that is self-contradictory."

People Power Party lawmaker Kim Woong also stated on Facebook on the 15th, "Were all the party leaders and supreme council members elected so far, including former leader Park Geun-hye, chosen through an unreasonable process?" He added, "Since 2004, for 18 years, our party has reflected 50-30% of the public opinion polls in the selection process."

Kim questioned, "Was the party convention over those 18 years a funeral hall for party members rather than a festival?" He also pointed out, "Among those advocating for rule changes, some have participated in past conventions, so why did they participate in a 'party convention that is not a festival for party members'?"

Furthermore, he said, "No matter what embellishments are made regarding the rule changes, everyone knows it is a fear of Yoo Seung-min," adding, "They shout 'a festival for party members,' but no one is unaware that it is a 'festival only for Yoon core members.'"
