Regarding the fact that Lee Jae-myung, permanent adviser of the Democratic Party of Korea, was running for Gyeyang-eul in Incheon, not Bundangap, Seongnam, in the by-election held along with the June 1 local elections, Rep. Kim Nam-guk said that he had discouraged Lee from running by-election itself.
On the night of the 6th, on CBS radio’s ‘Bout’, Rep. Kim said, “Most of those close to (Lee) opposed it” regarding the Democratic Party’s strategic nomination of this adviser to Gyeyang, Incheon. It was because of the desire to do so and the fact that running for Gyeyang was not beneficial to Lee’s political schedule.”
He said, “But since last weekend, there have been stories regarding ‘Incheon needs to be saved’, ‘momentum needs to be created for the local election atmosphere’, and ‘Lee Jae-myung must come forward and hold the election responsibly’, and the atmosphere changed drastically at the beginning of the week.” said
As soon as the host heard regarding Lee Jun-seok’s strategic nomination for Incheon Gyeyang, he said, ‘I will prepare a sniper pitcher’, and former lawmaker Yoon Hee-sook said, ‘I can run if the party demands it.’ CEO Lee Jun-seok told me not to run because he was afraid of bullying me like this (I am also bullying him),” he pointed out.
Regarding the point that there is no justification for Lee to run for Gyeyang-eul, Incheon, the Democratic Party’s garden, which has no ties to him, he said, “I expected such criticism. Nevertheless, (the party) talked a lot regarding the necessity of running for office, so there was a lot of talk that the party had to survive such criticism.” He said, “If the president-elect Yoon Seok-yeol (President) said he was doing well, there would have been little public opinion like that (Lee Jae-myung).” did.
In addition, Assemblyman Kim said, “(Lee) will play a role in changing the overall election landscape by delivering a major message in a timely manner beyond physical and spatial limitations.” He was expected to lead the local elections.
