Former People Power Party leader Lee Jun-seok said on the 29th, "I will admire the life of Zhuge Liang without hesitation."


In a post on Facebook that day, Lee said, "If asked whether you want to live like Zhuge Liang or like Dong Zhuo and L? Bu," expressing this view. He left the People Power Party on the 27th and announced the formation of a tentative 'Reform New Party.'


Lee's remarks are interpreted as a rebuttal to People Power Party Emergency Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon's statement at the first emergency committee meeting, where he said, "Let's not engage in palace intrigues or form alliances like in historical dramas or Three Kingdoms politics. Zhuge Liang ultimately lost."


Lee also said, "Anyway, L? Bu stabs Dong Zhuo. It was a very absurd incident."



He added, "If you properly study the history of the Peloponnesian War, you will see that Sparta, out of jealousy toward Athens, fought internal battles within Greece, ultimately benefiting Macedonia. If you don't want to make Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung into Alexander, you need to study history properly."
