Jo Eung-cheon "I was at a loss after Lee Jae-myung's 'WhatsLong' call... I suggested we talk again"

"Repeatedly Criticized the Democratic Party's Issues..."

Jo Eung-cheon, a member of the Democratic Party known as a supporter of Bi Myeong (Bi Lee Jae-myeong faction), spoke about the phone call from Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party leader, who asked "What’s Wrong?" Jo said, "I didn’t know where to start the conversation, so I suggested we talk again." Previously, Jo had revealed that Lee suddenly called and asked "What’s Wrong?"

On the 19th, Jo appeared on YTN Radio's "News King with Park Ji-hoon" and said, "When (the leader) asked 'What’s wrong?' I felt a bit at a loss," adding, "Our party is currently facing a collapse of democratic morality regarding internal issues, and its status as a policy-oriented party is shaken. Also, the 'Gaeddal hooligans' and YouTubers have become one with the party leadership or pro-Lee members, leading the party away from public sentiment. I have repeatedly expressed this frustration."

Regarding the rumors of a 'Han Dong-hoon emergency committee' in the People Power Party, Jo predicted that the Democratic Party could secure a favorable general election scenario. He said, "In the case of Kim Woong, he even said 'Han Dong-hoon = Kim Joo-ae,' and it reminds me of the scene where that General Oh-seong kneels down and reports, despite having no experience, just because of his Baekdu bloodline."

He continued, "If that’s the case, that person is the emergency committee chairman appointed from Yongsan and will be seen as faithfully carrying out President Yoon Seok-yeol’s will," adding, "The ruling party can be criticized as Yoon Seok-yeol’s direct unit’s Yeouido branch office or even a Yeouido agency. (For the Democratic Party) it’s much better to take a firm stance."
