Kim Young-jin "Han Dong-hoon running? Since it's a new product, we can try it once, but will it become a long-selling product?"

"Handonghun Bears Responsibility for Personnel Disaster in Yoon Administration"

Kim Young-jin, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 24th regarding the speculation that Han Dong-hoon, Minister of Justice, might run in next year's general election, "Since it is a new product at the beginning, people might try it once, but whether the new product will consistently become a long-lasting and popular product will be judged by the public and party members."

In an interview with KBS Radio's 'Special 1 Radio Today' on the same day, Kim said, "Attitude is the essence of politics," adding, "People will probably also judge how it would be if the language thrown for applause that only cheers for a specific side in front of 300 members of the National Assembly in the plenary session moves into the political arena."

He continued, "Looking at the current trend of opinion polls, the age group supporting Minister Han is strongly in the 60s and older, while those in their 20s to 40s are significantly undervaluing him."

Regarding Minister Han's potential candidacy, he said, "He should decide for himself." Kim added, "The person who should take most of the responsibility for the evaluation of President Yoon Suk-yeol is the Minister of Justice," explaining, "Because he failed to properly serve the president."

Kim pointed out, "Minister Han was the person in charge of verification in personnel matters," and said, "Personnel is a matter of retrospective responsibility. The functions of the Civil Affairs Office, which were previously handled by the Blue House, were transferred to the Ministry of Justice, and despite providing sufficient budget and manpower, the personnel disaster occurred. This is the result that Minister Han Dong-hoon was incompetent and failed to manage and control the root causes well."
