Assemblyman Ahn Cheolsoo, a candidate for the People Power Party leadership, has intensified his criticism of Korean history instructor Han Gil Jeon. He argued that despite Han recently expressing support for "anti-impeachment faction" candidate Jang Donghyuk, Han visited candidate Kim Moonsoo, who is staging a sit-in protest, and acted disrespectfully in an attempt to retract his previous stance.

On August 19, Assemblyman Ahn posted on his social networking service (SNS) under the title, "Han Gil Jeon, Who Disgraces the Conservative Party's Presidential Candidate, Must Be Immediately Denied His Desperate Plea to Attend the Party Convention."

Ahn stated, "Just a few days ago, in front of candidate Kim Moonsoo, Han openly declared his support for another candidate, but yesterday, he showed up unannounced and changed his words, claiming it was a misunderstanding. He treated candidate Kim Moonsoo like a mere prop, coaxed and cajoled him, then got excited and laughed by himself, putting on a one-man show before leaving."

He continued, "He even desperately begged for access to the party convention. That was probably his main objective. Still, considering that Kim Moonsoo is a former presidential candidate of our party, how little must he think of him to behave this way? Why is he trying to attend the convention on the 22nd? He's scheming, knowing that even if he causes chaos this time, there won't be another event from which he can be banned."

He concluded, "It's highly unlikely the party will accept him again, but seeing that they haven't even immediately expressed their intention to reject him is, in itself, extremely frustrating."
