Gominjeong: "Han Donghoon, the illusion that the world only looks at him"

Democratic Party Supreme Council Member, CBS Radio Interview
"Korea's Disruptive Power? Rather, Focus on Lee Jun-seok's New Party"

Ko Min-jung, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon’s stance of "If you want to impeach me, go ahead" regarding the push for his impeachment, saying he is "deeply deluded into thinking the whole world is watching only him."

Ko appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' on the 8th and said, "Watching that statement, people call it attention-seeking behavior."

Ko added, "The Democratic Party has only talked about itself for a year and a half, but that is absolutely not true," and said, "There are quite a few lawmakers who are outside of the spotlight and many who do not pay much attention to whatever Minister Han does."

Regarding speculation that Minister Han will run in next year’s general election, Ko said, "If he says he wants to run, he might," and added, "Whether Minister Han’s appearance will be a benefit to the Democratic Party, I don’t think so."

She said, "I admit he had considerable destructive power in the early days. But now, as the public sees the attitude of politicians more, his unfavorable rating has risen significantly," and added, "That inevitably affects the entire People Power Party, and within the party, while there used to be a sentiment hoping Minister Han would run, now there is a sense of doubt."

When asked if the Democratic Party’s push to impeach Minister Han might give him a justification to run in the general election, she said, "That could be possible. We need to keep all possibilities open and discuss opinions at today’s party meeting."

However, she said, "Is Minister Han’s position such an important issue that the Democratic Party should worry about it? I don’t think its destructive power will be that great," and added, "Rather, I am paying more serious attention to Lee Jun-seok’s new party."
