Joonpyo Hong Questions Whether Those Trapped by 'Teultuber' Personalities Can Regain Public Support

Joonpyo Hong Questions Party’s Ability to Sever Ties with Heretical Groups, 'Teultuber', and Mercenary Forces
Donghyuk Jang Defeats Moonsu Kim to Become People Power Party Leader
"Will Unite All Conservatives to Bring Down President Lee"

Hong Junpyo, former mayor of Daegu

On August 26, Hong Junpyo, former mayor of Daegu, commented on the recently concluded People Power Party leadership election, stating that while it was fortunate that party members were not deceived by candidate Kim Moonsoo twice, he remains doubtful as to whether the party can regain public support.

On the same day, Hong Junpyo expressed his concerns on his social media account, questioning, "Will the party be able to sever ties with heretical religious groups?"

He further asked, "Can the party break away from pseudo-conservative mercenary forces such as Yoon Sukyeol and Han Donghoon? Can those who are trapped and unable to break free from reckless 'Teultuber' personalities regain public support?" He added, "It is also questionable whether the party will survive Lee Jaemyung's full-scale political offensive. I hope it does not become a case of 'Shingu Miwolryeong' (meaning 'a young dove cannot cross a high mountain')." The term "Teultuber" is a portmanteau of "Teulni" (dentures, a slang term used to mock the elderly) and "YouTuber."

Jang Donghyuk elected new People Power Party leader... "Will unite all conservatives to bring down Lee Jaemyung"

Meanwhile, on this day, candidate Jang Donghyuk defeated Kim Moonsoo to become the new leader of the People Power Party. In his acceptance speech, Jang stated, "I will dedicate everything to uniting with all conservative citizens to bring down the Lee Jaemyung administration."

The People Power Party's National Convention Election Management Committee announced at the National Assembly Library's main auditorium on August 26 that Jang had been confirmed as the final winner in the runoff for the party leadership at the 6th National Convention. In the combined results of the runoff vote (80% party members, 20% public opinion poll), Jang received 220,302 votes, while Kim received 217,935 votes.

In his acceptance speech, Jang said, "Today's victory is a victory made possible by our party members and by the new media environment. Just as we did in this convention, I will continue to move forward on the right path without wavering."

He continued, "The fact that party members chose me is the beginning of innovation. With the aspirations of our members, I will now work to innovate the People Power Party," adding, "I ask all party members who have entrusted me with this heavy responsibility to join me until the end so that the People Power Party can be reborn as a winning party."
