So Joo-jin: "Lee Jun-seok, is this politics for people in their 30s... You must reflect and restrain yourself"

"Non-Yoon Candidates Are Enjoying Themselves"
"Party Leader, Healing Lee Jun-seok Trauma Is Urgent Priority"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Candidate Jo Su-jin, running for Supreme Council member, raised her voice against former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok, who is exerting influence at the party convention by fielding several candidates for party leader and Supreme Council member, saying he must "reflect and restrain himself."

On the 8th, on SBS's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show,' Candidate Jo said, "Former leader Lee is putting forward several people to place orders and act on his behalf, but how is that politics befitting someone in their 30s? Also, regarding the controversy over his attempts to cover up a sexual misconduct incident by instructing party officials, if this has become a major issue, he must reflect and restrain himself," pointing out these issues.

Former leader Lee is providing behind-the-scenes support to candidate Chun Ha-ram, who is running for party leader, and candidates Kim Yong-tae, Heo Eun-ah, and Lee Ki-in, who are running for Supreme Council member. They are identifying themselves as 'Bi-Yoon (anti-Yoon).' Candidate Jo said, "What should be noted now is that none of the candidates labeled as Bi-Yoon are objecting to the term; they are enjoying it," adding, "It is very sad that such things are happening less than a year after the president's inauguration."

Regarding candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, she said he is "not Bi-Yoon." Candidate Jo stated, "Could candidate Ahn be Bi-Yoon? He is someone who supported the president," and added, "Bi-Yoon refers to those who have been obstructing and nitpicking the president since the presidential election process. Being called Bi-Yoon itself should be shameful. However, the fact that there is no objection to this is a very big problem."

On the conditions for party leader candidates, she said, "The 'Lee Jun-seok trauma' and the wounds caused by former leader Lee are too great," and added, "Listening to what party lawmakers say, the scars and aftereffects left by former leader Lee are still very deep and large. This can be summarized as such," emphasizing that healing these wounds is the most urgent task.
