"Likely Received Full Authority from the President"

Jeong Seong-ho, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea and known as the leader of the pro-Lee Jae-myung faction, criticized the notion of "Hanna-ttang" (Han Dong-hoon comes out, thank you) regarding the appointment of former Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon as the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party, calling it a one-dimensional way of thinking. He expressed concern that "the Democratic Party will surely lose if it vaguely waits for mistakes from the new emergency committee chairman and becomes complacent."


On the 22nd, Jeong posted on social media, "Former Minister Han became the emergency committee chairman of the People Power Party sooner than expected. With the full trust of President Yoon Seok-yeol, he has become the number one figure in the ruling party after the president," and added, "I hope he does well for the country and the people."

Jeong expressed concern about the low evaluation within the party regarding Han's appointment as emergency committee chairman. He said, "Han is someone who has never touched alcohol in his life," and "He is very different from President Yoon, who likes to drink." He added, "(Han) has the ability to change the ruling party with cold judgment and strong execution," and "He will do whatever it takes to win the general election, and he must have been given full authority by the president in that regard."



He continued, "There must be thorough preparation for every card Han will play," emphasizing, "He is by no means an easy opponent. The Democratic Party must really wake up, unite firmly, and innovate." He also said, "A tsunami is coming beyond the horizon. We must not only see the waves but also be able to see the wind beyond them."
