Han Dong-hoon, the People Power Party’s representative candidate, responded to allegations that he operated a public opinion creation team while serving as Minister of Justice on the 15th by saying, “Is it wrong for supporters to voluntarily leave comments?”

One candidate met with reporters after a joint speech for the Daejeon, Sejong, North Chungcheong, and South Chungcheong regions held at the Yu Gwan-sun Gymnasium in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province, that afternoon and claimed, “I have never paid money to hire anyone or run a team.”

One candidate criticized the Democratic Party of Korea for saying that the suspicions should be investigated by force, saying, “It is difficult to understand how someone could voluntarily express their support in such a way,” and “Is it the attitude of a politician to denigrate (the act of expressing support) in a way that is not illegal as if it were a crime?”

One candidate lashed out at the Democratic Party, saying, “I don’t know anything about this, I don’t understand what you’re talking about, and it’s completely irrelevant,” and “I guess you think we’re like you.”

In his speech that day, he said, “Going forward, I will prevent the convention from becoming more chaotic by personally minimizing my response to baseless matadors.”

When an argument broke out between supporters during a speech, one candidate stepped in to mediate, saying, “It’s okay to call me a traitor, but please don’t ignore other people’s opinions. Please don’t assault other people,” and “Isn’t this the level of politics that the People Power Party is at?”

He emphasized, “The only way we can win is to find the right answer amidst these differences of opinion and resolve it in a democratic way,” and “We must go down that path through this convention.”

He added, “The People Power Party will become an advanced conservative party with pragmatism and flexibility.”
