People Power Party leadership candidate Han Dong-hoon said on the 6th regarding the controversy over his unwillingness to read the text message sent by Ms. Kim Keon-hee apologizing for the alleged acceptance of a luxury bag during the last general election, “At this point in time, deliberately creating such talk could be considered an abnormal party convention and intervention in party affairs, which is dangerous and could be considered by many to be the case.”
One candidate appeared on YouTube’s SBS Political Stove League that day and said, “I think those who raised this issue should exercise some self-restraint.”
One candidate said, “At that point, no conservative politician had publicly and actively demanded an apology from (Ms. Kim) in such a way as to actively pursue it,” adding, “Some people are saying that Ms. Kim wanted to apologize but I did not allow it, which is a huge misrepresentation of the situation.”
He continued, “At the time in January, there was a great public sentiment that an apology was needed for Ms. Kim, and it was also very necessary for me as someone leading the general election,” adding, “That’s why I publicly stated that it did not meet the public’s expectations.”
One candidate said, “I think the text came on January 19th,” and “I was continuing to raise the issue strongly, and the Blue House was taking a negative stance (on Ms. Kim’s apology).”
He said, “I strongly urged the Office of the President to make an apology on this issue that would be acceptable to the public in some way, because my goal was to win the general election.”
“In that situation, if the First Lady sent me a private text, I would think it would be strange for me to respond,” one candidate said. “It is inappropriate to have a conversation that seeks to engage in a private manner during the process of public communication and discussion.”
