Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, who was ranked first overall in the People Power Party’s suitability survey for the next party leader, held a meeting with fan cafe members for the first time in five years on the 11th. Former Emergency Response Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon, who was ranked first in the party, visited the library.
Coincidentally, ahead of the national convention, a public opinion poll came out this morning showing the two men ranked first in suitability as party leader, so attention was bound to be focused on their actions over the weekend.
According to a public opinion poll commissioned by Newsis from Ace Research and conducted on 1,000 adults on the 8th and 9th, former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min ranked highest at 28% in terms of suitability for People Power Party leader. Next, former emergency committee chairman Han Dong-hoon recorded 26%.
On the other hand, contrary to public opinion, former Chairman Han ranked first among the People Power Party supporters. As a result of analyzing the suitability of each candidate among all respondents, only those who identified themselves as supporters of the People Power Party, former Chairman Han recorded 48% and former Rep. Yoo recorded 9%.
◇ Yoo Seung-min broadens his scope of activity after the general election… Fan meeting, university lecture, etc. for the first time in 5 years
Former lawmaker Yoo said in a phone call with News 1 this afternoon, “The supporters have wanted to meet for a long time, so we met briefly at the presidential election camp three years ago, and (officially) we met for the first time in five years since 2019.”
He continued, “I haven’t been able to see you for a long time due to the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and it has been scheduled for a long time regardless of the national convention.” He added, “(In response to questions from supporters on site that day about running for the national convention), I said, ‘I’m thinking about it.’” added.
However, former lawmaker Yoo explained to the attendees that day that he had mentioned the need to change the national convention primary method (conventional rules). He said, “Regardless of whether I run for the national convention or not, the people are watching under what rules our People Power Party will conduct the national convention,” and emphasized that it should not be held under the rule of 100% party membership.
After the general election, former lawmaker Yoo has been expanding his activities by speaking out on major issues, including not only fan meetings but also lectures at universities. Previously, former Rep. Yoo gave a lecture at Yonsei University on the 9th and discussed Korean politics with students on the topic ‘Conditions of a political leader.’
In addition, former lawmaker Yoo pointed out on his social networking service (SNS) Facebook this morning that the ‘Special Measures Act on Payment of 250,000 Won per Citizen’ was ‘unconstitutional.’ He also strongly criticized the Naver Line incident on social media on the 9th, saying, “What values do you share with Japan who is trying to take away Line?”
◇ ‘Han Dong-hoon eyewitness accounts’ continue after the general election… Visit Yangjae Library on the 11th
Eyewitness accounts of former Chairman Han, another strong candidate for the party leadership, continue to be posted online this afternoon. These are posts that say they saw former Chairman Han at Yangjae Library in Seocho-gu, Seoul that afternoon.
He took responsibility for the crushing defeat in the general election and resigned from his position as chairman of the emergency committee and stopped public activities, but even after that, eyewitness accounts of former chairman Han continued to surface online. According to the online community DC Inside on this day, former Chairman Han was wearing a black jacket and the sneakers he enjoyed wearing during the election campaign.
Additionally, a photo of the author reading ‘The Origin of the Species’ by Kim Bo-young was also uploaded. Some citizens posted photos proving that they had received an autograph from former Chairman Han, and some even took selfies with former Chairman Han.
Although it has been less than a month since former Chairman Han resigned, there is still talk in the political world about his return to politics and his candidacy for the national convention. In particular, as the national convention was delayed from the originally planned ‘end of June, early July’ and the plan to be held in ‘end of July, early August’ became more likely, the theory of former Chairman Han’s appearance is gaining weight.
Emergency Response Committee Chairperson Hwang Woo-yeo said in an interview with YTN Radio News Fighting on the 8th regarding the holding of the National Convention in August, “I am saying that if we say (to hold the National Convention) at the end of June, we may not be able to keep our promise,” and “Don’t overdo it.” “Our position is that we have to do it cautiously,” he said.
