“It is not enough to focus on ‘only the people’s livelihood’. Even so, the party’s chaos is growing, and I feel my responsibility as a member of the leadership team.”
Regarding the exposure of text messages with the president, which was the starting point of the transition to non-captain, he acknowledged that it was his fault, but refuted that it was an coverage that went beyond the gold standard, and criticized the modifier Yoon Hek-gwan as a language of ridicule and division created by former CEO Lee Jun-seok.
The next parliamentary election will be held on the 19th.
Hak-yong Kim and Sang-hyeon Yoon, three-term lawmakers, Jae-ok Yoon, Do-eup Kim, and Tae-ho Kim, as well as Ho-young Joo, former chairman of the National Assembly, are also mentioned as candidates.
Jeong Jin-seok, who was formally appointed today, announced that he would form a new integrated platoon.

“Because I’m not ‘Chin-Yi’ or ‘Chin-Pak’, and that’s why I’ve always been trying to do a moderate, neutral and integrated politics…”
However, the former representative Lee Jun-seok applied for a fourth injunction, saying, “Non-Captain Jeong Jin-seok is also invalid.”
Chairman Chung said he was very sorry for the application for an additional injunction, saying that former CEO Lee had crossed a river of no return.
At the same time, it is also controversial that Chairman Chung is concurrently serving as the Vice-Chairman of the National Assembly.
The Democratic Party is pressing the ruling party leader to step down as vice-chairman, saying that there is no way the ruling party can lead the plenary session.
