Kim Jae-won: "Lee Jun-seok Will Run in Daegu Like Hong Joon-pyo"
Former Supreme Council Member Kim Jaewon KBS Radio Interview
Former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok hinted at the conditional establishment of a new party, while former People Power Party Supreme Council member Kim Jae-won predicted Lee's candidacy in the Daegu region.
On the 24th, former Supreme Council member Kim appeared on the special KBS 1 Radio program "Today" and said, "He said he would run as an independent, and then mentioned following the model of Mayor Hong Joon-pyo, among other things," adding, "My feeling is that he will run against the weakest candidate in the Daegu region, as Mayor Hong Joon-pyo did."

Regarding public sentiment in Daegu and Gyeongbuk toward former leader Lee, Kim said, "There are definitely expectations for Lee Jun-seok, and Lee is currently acting with that gap in mind," and added, "The political qualities Lee possesses, commonly described as propaganda skills or the ability to promote his arguments, are very excellent."
However, he pointed out, "Politics is about winning the hearts of others, gaining the support of many people, connecting that support to votes, using those votes to acquire power, and then creating the future one dreams of through that power. But Lee Jun-seok seems to focus more on attacking, suppressing, trampling, and defeating others rather than winning their hearts, which is a very strong mindset."

Kim also said, "The idea of killing opponents one after another like in a computer game is very noticeable, and I have always said he looks like a machine human specialized in politics. This impression is also felt by the citizens of Daegu," adding, "Especially since Daegu is considered the heart of conservatism, there is also the concept of respect for seniority and hierarchy from the past, which makes things somewhat complicated."
