Representative Lee Sang-min of the Democratic Party of Korea announced on the 15th that he would decide whether to leave the party by early next month. In a phone call with this newspaper, he said, “I feel despair that the probability that the Democratic Party, which has become a ‘dog-daughter party’, will reform and return to the original Democratic Party is less than 1%,” and “I am not ruling out joining the People Power Party if I leave the party.” did.
Rep. Lee said on this day, “I will decide whether to remain or leave the Democratic Party by early December,” and added, “If I leave the Democratic Party, I am leaving open all possibilities, including the People Power Party, Lee Jun-seok’s new party, the Third Zone, and becoming an independent.” He said, “I think that things like progressives and conservatives are useless. “The two parties have lost the so-called ‘weak shot,’” he said. “The task of Korean politics is to ‘restore common sense in politics.’” Rep. Lee also said, “Members of the party who are concerned regarding Lee Jae-myeong becoming a private party are also desperate to be nominated and are lying flat on their faces and blindly obeying the party, making it difficult to find comrades within the party.” There was previously speculation that Rep. Lee would advocate for ‘innovation in the Democratic Party’ along with non-mainstream lawmakers Kim Jong-min, Yoon Young-chan, Lee Won-wook, and Cho Eung-cheon, but it was reported that he decided not to join in because he thought ‘it would be difficult to rewrite the party.’
Rep. Lee, a representative of the non-partisan community, has always criticized the Lee Jae-myung regime. Last July, he received a warning for making a ‘joyful breakup’ remark that hinted at the possibility of a split in the party. He has been elected to five terms since 2004 in the Yuseong constituency. He first entered the National Assembly as a member of the Uri Party, but left the party ahead of the 2008 general election and was re-elected as a member of the Liberty Forward Party. In 2012, he returned to the Democratic Party and ran for 3rd, 4th, and 5th terms. A Democratic Party official said, “I think it will be difficult to get nominated, so I guess I’m leaving the party once more.”
