Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party and General Election Committee Chairman, visited Boryeong, Chungnam, the electoral district of Assemblyman Jang Dong-hyeok, to deny the colorism rhetoric circulating in some quarters and continued ideological attacks against the opposition.

On the 21st, Chairman Han attended the opening ceremony of Assemblyman Jang's election office in Boryeong City, Chungcheongnam-do, and said, "Imagine the world that Lee, who has joined hands with extremists like Cho Kuk and the successors of the Unified Progressive Party (Tongjindang), will create," adding, "I am not talking about colorism but stating facts and addressing the crisis our democracy is facing." This was a denial of the 'colorism' ideological attacks raised against Chairman Han by some.

Chairman Han said, "This election will be the most important election since the 1987 presidential election that will determine the fate of the people and this country," and "We must not lose this election, and if we do, we will become sinners of history." He added, "Shall we let this great country, which has achieved democracy and industrialization simultaneously since liberation, falter here?"

He continued, "Cho Kuk and the successors of the unconstitutional Unified Progressive Party are extremists who cannot become mainstream in a normal party system," pointing out, "They are forces who, even after being convicted by the judicial system, openly declare that their political goal is to take revenge on the judicial system." Furthermore, he said, "Those extremists are joining hands with Lee, who is struggling not to go to prison, and are dominating mainstream politics," and asked, "What kind of future can there be in a world controlled by such people?"

Chairman Han also did not miss supporting Assemblyman Jang. He appealed to the voters, saying, "There is only one thing for you gathered here to do: send Assemblyman Jang back to the National Assembly."

After the opening ceremony, Chairman Han also said at Boryeong Central Market, "Do you want to be ruled by backward people in a backward way, or do you want to be served by Assemblyman Jang?" adding, "We are public servants faithfully serving the citizens of Boryeong and Seocheon."
