Lee Jun-seok "Han Dong-hoon’s Position Seems Decided... Possible Emergency Committee Chair"

Former People Power Party Leader Lee Jun-seok BBS Radio Interview
"If Not Han Dong-hoon, It Seems to Be Reorganized Under Won Hee-ryong's Leadership"

Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon is taking a tough stance against the harsh criticism from the opposition, and former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok said, "It seems that Minister Han Dong-hoon's position has been decided. It looks like he will turn to politics."

On the 15th, former leader Lee appeared on BBS Radio's 'Jeon Young-shin's Morning Journal' and said, "If Minister Han Dong-hoon is to play a role in the party, it will likely be a position with considerable authority," adding, "Ultimately, within about one to two weeks, People Power Party leader Kim Ki-hyun will be ousted."

Former leader Lee said, "I think the reason Chairman In Yo-han recently pressured senior members and Yoon core figures (key associates of President Yoon Seok-yeol) is to lay out the red carpet for (Minister Han)," and added, "(Minister Han) is also using verbal attacks as a tool to show the traditional elder conservative base, 'I am fighting against the Democratic Party, please support me.'"

He continued, "Among the elder conservative base, recently they see Minister Han Dong-hoon fighting boldly, and there is a possibility they will push to make him the emergency committee chairman," and said, "I think there are two possibilities. Since he was promoted as a star minister, if Han Dong-hoon tries and fails, they might bring in someone like Won Hee-ryong to lead the party's leadership structure."

Former leader Lee also supported the recent rumors of the dismantling of the Yoon core group raised through People Power Party lawmaker Ha Tae-kyung. He said, "One of the most surprising things heard recently in Yeouido is that mutual misconduct among those identified as Yoon core figures is gradually being exposed," adding, "There will be infighting that the public will dislike."

Former leader Lee said, "What is unfortunate is the current People Power Party leadership," and added, "After the Gangseo by-election, instead of taking responsibility and stepping down, they bought about a month of time, and if they are now discarded, that will be a dishonor. It will be a double confirmation of their downfall."
