Cho Kuk "Han Dong-hoon's raw chicken performance, grotesque... I bet 50,000 won he didn't eat it"

On the 5th, Han Dong-hoon, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, visited a traditional market and took a photo shaking a 'raw chicken.' In response, former Minister of Justice Cho Kuk, who is preparing to launch a new political party, strongly criticized it as a 'commoner's cosplay.' On the 19th, Cho appeared on the show 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility Shakes News Factory' and referred to Han's actions during the Lunar New Year holiday, calling them "grotesque."

He pointed out, "I think this is the first time in modern Korean political history that a politician has been seen shaking a raw chicken wrapped in a black plastic bag," adding, "It seems he judged that to cosplay as a commoner, he had to catch a raw chicken."

On the 5th, four days before the Lunar New Year holiday, Han Dong-hoon, Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, visited Cheongnyangni Fruit and Vegetable Market and Gyeongdong Market in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, holding the purchased goods and greeting citizens.

When the host, broadcaster Kim Eo-jun, asked, "What happened to that chicken?" Cho replied, "Han said he didn't eat that raw chicken at home, and I would bet 50,000 won on that."

In response, Kim agreed, saying, "The raw chicken performance failed, but he should have posted on social media how he cooked that chicken the next day," adding, "I also think he threw it away right after taking the photo in the car."

Cho also mentioned Han's so-called 'Starbucks' remark. When Han visited the Gyeongdong Market in Seoul on the 5th, he went to a nearby Starbucks store and said, "Isn't Starbucks actually the strong player in the industry? This is not really a place where commoners come."

Regarding this, Cho criticized again, saying, "He thought that catching and displaying a raw chicken while saying Starbucks is not a place for commoners would please the common people," and added, "The commoner's cosplay failed. It was too bizarre."

Meanwhile, on the 13th, Cho Kuk announced his intention to launch a new political party, effectively declaring his candidacy for the general election. However, regarding specific candidacy methods such as proportional representation or constituency seats, he said, "This is not something I can decide on my own," and added, "Since a political party is a public organization, we will establish principles and procedures with the members who gather."
