Won Hee-ryong Appears on YouTube Shorts Channel
"I Give Myself 7 out of 10, Cho Kuk and Na Kyung-won 99 Points"

Former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong attracted attention by appearing on a YouTube channel with the concept of spontaneously interviewing attractive men and women on the street. When asked about the 'top politician in terms of looks,' Won named "the person who received star balloons for being more handsome than Cha Eun-woo," targeting Lee Jae-myung, his competitor in the April 10 general election.

On the 6th, Won appeared in a video titled "Nationwide Top Scorer Won Hee-ryong Street Casting" uploaded on 'Cast U,' an Instagram and YouTube short-form channel.

Introducing himself as "currently unemployed, a job seeker," Won answered the first question, "Among looks, wealth, and intelligence, which is your charm?" by choosing "intelligence." He added, "I was the top scorer in the national scholastic aptitude test, the top overall entrant at Seoul National University, and the top scorer in the bar exam."

He then said, "There are also some bland areas," explaining, "First of all, I'm not good at attracting the opposite sex." When asked if he had ever experienced unrequited love, Won replied, "How could I not?" and said, "I only liked people as handsome as Cho Kuk, so I used to have complexes, but now..." Won and Cho Kuk, leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, were classmates in the 1982 class of Seoul National University Law School.

When asked to rate his own looks on a scale of 1 to 10, he said "7 points," citing his "smiling eyes" as his charm point. He said, "I oppose lookism and find it somewhat pitiful, but since looks are also a competitive edge, I do get a bit stressed when I look in the mirror." When requested to rate the looks of Cho Kuk and Na Kyung-won, he said, "I should give them about 99 points." Na Kyung-won, former member of the People Power Party, was also a classmate in the 1982 class of Seoul National University Law School and appeared on the same channel last December.

Then, when asked to pick the most handsome politician, Won joked, "Of course, the person who received star balloons for being more handsome than Cha Eun-woo," adding, "Everyone who knows understands." He was referring to Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party of Korea, mocking the recent controversy when Democratic Party spokesperson Ahn Gwi-ryeong chose "Lee Jae-myung" over "Cha Eun-woo" in an 'ideal type world cup' question.

Additionally, Won named the top three outputs of Seoul National University as "Kim Young-sam, Yoon Seok-youl, and Won Hee-ryong," and listed three abilities necessary for politics as "empathy to feel others' hearts, expressive ability to clearly convey what I think, and integrative ability to unite people regardless of the situation."

Won will run for the Incheon Gyeyang-eul district in the upcoming April 10 general election. Incheon Gyeyang-eul is Lee Jae-myung's constituency and is considered the fiercest battleground in this election, effectively resembling a 'mini presidential election.'
