The Western Gyeongnam Press Solidarity held a press conference on the 9th at the briefing room of Sancheong County Office in Gyeongnam, urging the expulsion of Assemblyman An Cheon-won of Sancheong County.


On that day, Hwang In-tae, the head of the Solidarity, read a statement, claiming, "Assemblyman An Cheon-won left the People Power Party on the 7th, seemingly admitting some of his wrongdoings raised by the media so far, but this is merely scapegoating."


He continued, "We believe that forcing Assemblyman An to leave the party and scapegoating him is an attempt to block the legitimate issues we have been raising," and demanded his expulsion.



Assemblyman An caused friction by sending text messages to the media requesting rebuttals while they were covering the fact that he verbally abused a female director of the NongHyup in July. Since the 16th of last month until the 8th of this month, the Press Solidarity has been conducting a one-person relay protest demanding Assemblyman An's expulsion from the Sancheong County Council.
