Kim Woong "Lee Jun-seok Joining New Party? No Justification to Go"

Ruling Party Lawmaker, CBS Radio Interview
"Lee Jun-seok Was Expelled, But I Was Not"

Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, stated that he will not join the new party being promoted by former leader Lee Jun-seok. On the 14th, Kim appeared on CBS Radio's 'Park Jae-hong's One-on-One Match' and said, "In my case, there is no justification for me to go to the new party."

Kim said, "I was a candidate for our party's leadership election," adding, "If someone who said they would run for party leader leaves and then lingers around the new party, that is against political ethics."

He continued, "Former leader Lee Jun-seok was the party leader but was expelled. Our party members have not expelled me yet," and added, "Even though I have said things that party members dislike, I have not experienced even one hundredth of what former leader Lee went through."

When asked if it might be difficult to receive party nomination for next year's general election, Kim replied, "If the president really thought, 'That guy is really upsetting,' he would have said something, but as far as I know, he has not expressed any displeasure to anyone so far. I think it means I should do more."

He added, "Except for the Yoon core faction, many of our party members support me. They say, 'We want to say those things too, but we can't, sorry,' and I think there should be at least one person like this within the party."
