Hong Moon-pyo: "A Bae Dae Committee Chair Who Can Control Han Dong-hoon and Lee Jun-seok Must Come"

With Kim Ki-hyun, the leader of the People Power Party, stepping down and the party transitioning to an emergency response committee system, Hong Moon-pyo, a member of the People Power Party, raised his voice regarding the candidate for the new emergency response committee chairman, saying, "Han Dong-hoon, Minister of Justice, and former leader Lee Jun-seok should serve as co-chairs of the election campaign committee, and someone who can control both of them must come."

On the 15th, on BBS's 'Jeon Young-shin's Morning Journal,' Rep. Hong said, "Former leader Lee, who was once part of our party family, if he leaves and tries to form a party, it would cause great harm to our People Power Party. Also, Minister Han, who is currently a minister but whose public opinion is somewhat rising, if these two serve as co-chairs of the election campaign committee, that would truly be reform and innovation."

He continued, "Appoint these two as a two-top team to serve as co-chairs of the election campaign committee, and the emergency response committee chairman should be someone who can control and coordinate with these two. Such a person must come as the emergency response committee chairman," adding, "If the emergency response committee chairman can coordinate these two well enough to run the election with just this two-top team, I believe there is hope for next year's election."

When asked about former leader Lee Jun-seok reportedly receiving multiple proposals for the election campaign chair position through various channels but showing no interest, he said, "I think that is a bit of excessive greed," adding, "If we talk about party logic, we are of the same blood and family, but starting a separate household and succeeding at this point is not guaranteed."

Yoon Jae-ok, the acting floor leader and acting party leader, held consecutive meetings with senior lawmakers with three or more terms and the Supreme Council the day before to gather opinions, and there are talks that the senior lawmakers' opinions are leaning toward former lawmaker Na Kyung-won. Regarding this, Rep. Hong said, "Yesterday, the atmosphere was actually a difficult, silent one in many ways," adding, "Whether the floor leader will act as the acting leader or whether it will go to the emergency response committee, most of the time was spent debating that, and no one was specifically named because everyone was cautious; inside, there was no heated argument mentioning names."
