'Democratic Party Resignation' Park Young-soon Joins Saemirae "Daedeok Is a Place of Blood and Sweat"
"Most Difficult Terrain... We Will Surely Win"
Discontent with Bottom 10% in Nomination Screening, Calling It "Political Retaliation"
Saeroun Mirae announced on the morning of the 28th that it held a welcoming ceremony for Assemblyman Park Young-soon at its Yeouido headquarters. Assemblyman Park joined Saeroun Mirae after leaving the Democratic Party of Korea the previous day.
Assemblyman Park said, "Daedeok-gu is one of the toughest districts, and I have devoted blood and sweat with the conviction to turn a gravel field into fertile land," adding, "Wearing the Saeroun Mirae uniform, I will surely bring the joy of victory." On the same day, Assemblyman Park was appointed as an ex officio responsible committee member of Saeroun Mirae.
Earlier, Assemblyman Park was notified that he ranked in the bottom 10% in the Democratic Party's nomination screening for the general election. In response, he claimed, "I could not possibly accept being in the bottom 10%," and "I suffered severe political retaliation along with fellow lawmakers who opposed Representative Lee Jae-myung."
