"No Movement for Jo Guk and Song Young-gil to Join New Party Together"

Former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-won claimed that if the Kim Ki-hyun leadership steps down, Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon could possibly take on the role of chairman of the People Power Party's Emergency Response Committee (ERC).

On the 16th, Park appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "We are moving from the era of Yoon Core Group (key associates of President Yoon Seok-yeol) to the era of Prosecutor Core Group (key associates from the prosecution)."

He continued, "So, the so-called founding contributors Kwone Seong-dong, Kim Ki-hyun, and Jang Je-won are all part of the Yoon Core Group, aren't they? They are sending those who are in the spotlight to difficult constituencies and bringing in Yoon Core Group members from the prosecution, the Prosecutor Core Group. That's why Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon is likely to become the (ERC) chairman, that's how I see it," he said.

Regarding Minister Han's spouse, lawyer Jin Eun-jung, making her first public appearance the day before, Park analyzed that Minister Han is strategically moving toward political participation. Park said, "(Political participation) is something he will naturally do," adding, "Would Minister Han Dong-hoon go out and work as a lawyer? He has plenty of money and a good family background."

About another candidate for the ERC chairman position, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong, Park said, "Minister Won served three terms as a member of the National Assembly in Seoul and was re-elected as governor in his hometown Jeju. Now he needs to move his base to the Seoul metropolitan area."

Regarding the new party theory involving Cho Song (Cho Kuk and Song Young-gil), Park said, "I don't think I will be working with Minister Cho Kuk," and stated that former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk and former Democratic Party leader Song Young-gil are not currently acting together.

Park added, "Although I haven't confirmed it myself, Minister Cho Kuk is currently focused on his trial and seems to be thinking, 'If my entire family was wiped out over the certificate issue, let's ask the people, the citizen jurors.' However, I understand that Leader Song Young-gil is not planning to form a new party," he said.
