Yoon Jae-ok: "Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Committee Chair, Can Have Candid and Close Conversations with President Yoon"

Yoon Jae-ok, Acting Party Leader and Floor Leader of the People Power Party, described Han Dong-hoon, former Minister of Justice and newly appointed Emergency Response Committee Chairman, on the 22nd as "a person with the potential to open an era of post-factional and post-fandom politics."

At the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Acting Leader Yoon said, "Yesterday, Minister Han Dong-hoon was officially nominated as the Emergency Response Committee Chairman candidate," and gave this evaluation. He added, "Currently, politics is still dominated by the 86 activist generation, stuck in factional and fandom politics from the 1980s," and emphasized, "Candidate Han has the potential to overcome activist politics and open an era of post-factional and post-fandom politics."

He also mentioned the changes in party-government relations demanded both inside and outside the People Power Party.

Floor Leader Yoon said, "There have been many criticisms regarding party-government relations. Although I do not think this expression is entirely accurate, we must reflect on the fact that such perceptions exist," and expressed hope that "(after former Minister Han’s inauguration as Emergency Response Committee Chairman) communication will be more active than ever." He added, "While this has been pointed out as a weakness, it can also be a strength," and said, "Since there is a fundamental trust relationship between the two (President Yoon Seok-yeol and former Minister Han), candid and sincere conversations will be possible." He continued, "I also believe that Han’s clear and firm personality will help create active synergy in future party-government relations."

He expressed expectations for expanding support among young and moderate voters. Floor Leader Yoon said, "(Former Minister Han) can not only reunite existing party members and conservatives but also build consensus with young and moderate voters," and stated, "With the launch of Han Dong-hoon’s Emergency Response Committee, the journey of innovation for the People Power Party begins anew."
