Yoo Sang-beom, a member of the People Power Party, criticized fellow party member Ha Tae-kyung's declaration to run for Jongno, saying, "Even if he wins, it will ultimately be a plus-minus zero."

On the 28th, Yoo appeared on CBS Radio's 'Kim Hyun-jung's News Show' and said, "He initially raised the flag to run in a difficult district, and although it is an important area for our party, he has never won there, or we won in the past but lost it for a considerable period. I thought he intended to demonstrate competitiveness as a three-term or multi-term lawmaker," he said.

He pointed out, "Requesting a multi-term lawmaker to run in a difficult district means asking them to recover what we lost with their capability and experience. The idea is to recover the reality so that it becomes plus 1 for us and minus 1 for the other side through running in a difficult district, but if he goes to Jongno like this, it will become plus-minus zero."

Regarding the activities of the People Power Party Innovation Committee, he evaluated, "Whether it is not running in the general election or running in a difficult district, such important events or anything that influences society require timing and time for the effect to take place. However, the Innovation Committee seems to be very impatient right now."

He added, "It also seems to be a way to show their own value of existence. Such timing needs to be judged very precisely, but I think there is impatience to achieve results during their activity period."
