So Sujin: "Except for Yoo Seungmin, Everyone Else is Pro-Yoon"

People Power Party Lawmaker, CBS Radio Interview
Targets Lee Jun-seok and Yoo Seung-min, "Democratic Party Should Recruit Them"

[Asia Economy Reporter Ryu Jeong-min] On the 28th, Jo Su-jin, a member of the People Power Party, stated in an interview with CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' regarding the ruling party's presidential election prospects, "Except for one person (former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min), everyone is pro-Yoon."

Jo said, "Everyone is pro-Yoon, except for one person. Our party is pro-Yoon. The president was elected only six months ago, so where is the anti-Yoon or non-Yoon faction?"

In response to the host's question, "Is that one person the former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min we are thinking of?" Jo replied, "Isn't that something even a child in Samcheok would know?"

In particular, Jo directly criticized former lawmaker Yoo, saying, "He attacks the president in a much stranger way than Representative Lee Jae-myung. I would rather he cleanly leave the party."

Jo also revealed that she privately told Democratic Party lawmakers, "If former representatives Yoo Seung-min or Lee Jun-seok are so great, then recruit them."

Jo predicted that former lawmaker Yoo would not challenge the party leadership. She analyzed, "He lost in the gubernatorial election and the primary, so if he comes out this time, it’s obvious he will lose. Politically, it could be a bigger wound, difficult to recover from, and could end his political career. Therefore, it would be difficult for him to run."

When asked about people classifying Assemblyman Ahn Cheol-soo as either pro-Yoon or non-Yoon, Jo said, "He was the chairman of the presidential transition committee. How could someone like that not be pro-Yoon?"

Regarding former Assemblywoman Na Kyung-won, who is leading in the party opinion polls, Jo said, "She will likely consider the negative perceptions that arise every election," and predicted she would be deliberating on whether to run.
