Kim Ki-hyun's 'Super Big Tent' Theory... Non-Myeong "The Super Big Tent Belongs to the Democratic Party"

Kim Ki-hyun, leader of the People Power Party, stated that he would "set up a 'Super Big Tent' with those who are concerned about the country's progressive future," increasing the possibility of recruiting Lee Sang-min, a non-mainstream member of the Democratic Party of Korea. In response, 'Principles and Common Sense,' a non-mainstream faction within the Democratic Party, rebutted by saying, "The Super Big Tent will start from the Democratic Party."

Democratic Party lawmakers Kim Jong-min, Lee Won-wook, Yoon Young-chan, and Cho Eung-cheon, participants of Principles and Common Sense, released a statement on social media on the 21st, saying, "The Super Big Tent claimed by Leader Kim will become a 'Super Empty Tent'."

They said, "The phrase 'Super Big Tent' reveals the anxiety and nervousness of Yongsan and the People Power Party ahead of next year's general election. However, they are completely mistaken about the target. What kind of big tent can a party that expels members for having different opinions within the same party set up? Who would participate in such a tent?"

They added, "Right now, the People Power Party should focus on repairing their collapsing existing tent rather than dreaming of a big tent," and advised, "Before dreaming of a big tent, it is a priority to hold on to the party members who are trying to escape."

They concluded, "The Super Big Tent will start from the Democratic Party," and said, "Principles and Common Sense will bring a wind of innovation to the Democratic Party, paving the way for victory in the general election and political innovation. Within the 'Big Tent' that unfolds on that path, we will fill the lost dreams of the working class and middle class."
