Hong Joon-pyo Targets Shin Pyeong?..."Self-Proclaimed Eoljuka Mentors Overflow"

Shin Pyeong, a lawyer known as "President Yoon Seok-yeol's mentor," has recently advocated for President Yoon's new party formation, while Hong Joon-pyo, Mayor of Daegu, stated, "I am truly worried when I see people around the president misleading him with sophistry or building factions through slander (讒言)."

On the 4th, Mayor Hong said on his social media service (SNS), "It is also problematic that so-called fake mentors are overflowing."

He said, "Since joining YS's Minjoo Party, I have been through the New Korea Party, the Grand National Party, the Saenuri Party, the Liberty Korea Party, the United Future Party, and the People Power Party, with the party name constantly changing, but I have always been there. Unlike some who have left the party to form new parties or stabbed the party in the back with vile politics, I have never done such things," adding, "I am completely different from those who constantly pick fights and shake the party and the president."

He continued, "However, sometimes politics requires embracing even those groups. Politics is not something you learn from books or improve through private tutoring. It is created through long experience and mastery." Mayor Hong previously stated that former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min and former party leader Lee Jun-seok should also join together.

Mayor Hong said, "Now is the time to gather even the smallest support to prepare for the general election," adding, "There is no tomorrow if we lose the general election."
