Jeong Cheong-rae: "Minister Han Dong-hoon is the weakest candidate... just a clown"

With the upcoming general election next year, the role of Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon is emerging as a topic of discussion, and Jeong Cheong-rae, a Supreme Council member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said that "Minister Han is the weakest candidate" and sees no reason to discourage his candidacy.

On the 21st, Jeong, through social media (SNS), said, "The more targets there are during an election, the better. Going to the polling station to judge President Yoon Seok-yeol, because you dislike First Lady Kim Geon-hee, and to reprimand Han Dong-hoon's arrogance is what makes it a 'regime judgment election.'

He evaluated that if Minister Han runs, "there is a very high possibility that a so-called wave of angry opposition votes will form," and "from the opposition party's perspective, 'candidate Han Dong-hoon' is the weakest candidate optimized for anger and opposition."

Jeong said, "To be honest, except for Yeongnam and Gangnam, is there any district where Han Dong-hoon could win?" and added, "I am skeptical. To be even more honest, if Minister Han runs in any district in Seoul, Gyeonggi, or Incheon, the Democratic Party candidate in that district is lucky."

Comparing former party leader Lee Jun-seok and Minister Han, he said, "Minister Han is Yoon Seok-yeol's borrowed sword, but former leader Lee, though he seems weak, is wielding a sword he has personally honed," and added, "The media misses this, but Minister Han is not a significant variable. Neither the media nor he himself realizes it, but Minister Han is just a clown."
