An "Ulsan Land, Lee Jae-myung's Daejang-dong Replica" Hwang "Yoon Bears Responsibility for Corruption"
Focus on Attacking Candidate Kim Ki-hyun
Cheon Ha-ram: "Defeat of Yoon Core Supporters' Nominations Is Certain"
Ahn Cheol-soo, a candidate running for the People Power Party's March 8 party representative election, criticized Kim Ki-hyun's Ulsan land allegations at a joint speech meeting held on the 2nd for the Seoul, Gyeonggi, and Incheon regions, calling it "a carbon copy of Lee Jae-myung's Daejang-dong case." He also drew a parallel to the school violence incident involving the son of lawyer Jeong Soon-shin, who recently fell from the position of head of the National Investigation Headquarters, stating that those who recommended candidate Kim, who is suspected of corruption, should be held accountable.
At the speech held at Goyang Gymnasium in Gyeonggi on the same day, Ahn said, "When the Jeong Soon-shin incident broke out, posters were put up at Seoul National University, and the youth fiercely opposed it," adding, "Isn't this exactly how the Democratic Party collapsed due to the Cho Kuk incident? We must hold accountable those who made such recommendations and burdened the President."
He continued, "As I feared, testimonies and facts different from candidate Kim's explanations are now being reported one after another," adding, "Suspicions continue to pour in that it is a carbon copy of Lee Jae-myung's Daejang-dong case, where profits were taken under the pretext of urban development."

He said, "The President made a decision to dismiss lawyer Jeong Soon-shin," and questioned, "Then we should not elect a candidate suspected of corruption. What will happen if Kim Ki-hyun becomes the party representative?"
Whenever Ahn raised suspicions about candidate Kim, voices shouting "fake news" were repeatedly heard from the audience.
Candidate Hwang Kyo-ahn also urged Kim to resign, saying that if Kim becomes the party representative, the general election will be a total defeat. Hwang strongly criticized, "Despite all his suspicions, Kim openly says that President Yoon Seok-youl supports him. This is a serious matter," and added, "If he loses the general election due to his corruption, he will blame all the responsibility for the defeat on the President." Hwang also accused Ahn of being an "expert in destroying political parties" and described candidate Cheon Ha-ram's speech as "reckless."

Candidate Kim also continued his offensive as it was the last speech meeting. Kim targeted Hwang, saying, "We suffered a crushing defeat in the general election three years ago, and you all know well who the party representative was at that time." He also shouted, "No candidate who causes internal conflict and division and ruins the party, or who nominates their own cronies, should be allowed."
