Yoon Chang-hyun: "Lee Jun-seok's New Party? It Could Become a 'Hotspot' for Those Who Lost Nominations"

Former leader Lee Jun-seok has been promoting the idea of founding a new party daily and even hinted at running in the Daegu region, while Yoon Chang-hyun, a member of the People Power Party's general election planning committee, expressed concerns that "if things go wrong, it could become a 'nomination hotspot' for those who lost nominations."

On the 9th, Yoon said on SBS's 'Kim Tae-hyun's Political Show', "He himself can freely take such actions. However, if the new party he is creating ends up becoming a nomination hotspot for those who lost nominations in our party or even those who lost nominations in the Democratic Party, wouldn't that be problematic?"

In an interview on the YouTube channel 'Detox' the previous day, former leader Lee also hinted at running in the Daegu region, saying, "(I) don't want to let Yeongnam politicians be comfortable in politics."

He questioned, "Just as reality differs from ideals, if things are run in such a way, is that really aligned with the original goal? Is the goal to create a nomination hotspot where those who lost nominations gather to take one last chance?" He added, "While it is possible to promote the idea of founding a new party with idealistic intentions, if it doesn't work out realistically, it will just be setting up a nomination hotspot."

He also urged communication with Innovation Committee Chairman In Yo-han. Yoon said, "I believe Chairman In can speak on such matters," adding, "He has a lot of experience and from that perspective. The intention is good, but there is a possibility that the results may not follow as originally thought. It is important to openly discuss this so that someone with the potential like former leader Lee can proceed well, and playing a role in that is also important."

Regarding Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo's remark that "forces that merely ride on the president's coattails must be sorted out," and Chairman In's response that he "will keep that in mind," when asked whether the Innovation Committee could organize such matters, Yoon said, "At this point, we need to see what the intention behind Mayor Hong's remarks was," adding, "Mayor Hong often makes additional comments the following day, so more messages are likely to come out. By combining those messages, we might be able to clearly understand the meaning and content."
