It was belatedly revealed that Han Dong-hoon, former chairman of the People Power Party Emergency Response Committee, had a dinner meeting on the 3rd with People Power Party officials who also held the April 10 general elections. At this meeting, former Chairman Han reportedly said, “Let’s meet and interact regularly and often.”
On the 5th, multiple attendees said, “It was a meal where former Chairman Han comforted and conveyed his best wishes to party officials who had suffered during the general election. Although former Chairman Han also expressed his disappointment with the results of the metropolitan area election, he mainly talked about the current situation rather than current issues within the party.” “I did it,” he said. At the dinner held at a restaurant somewhere in downtown Seoul, about 20 people, including lawmaker Kim Hyeong-dong, who served as former Chairman Han’s chief of staff, as well as party officials and the security team, attended.
One attendee said, “Chairman Han shared his current state after the election, saying, ‘In my spare time, I go to the library and read books given as gifts by supporters.’” He added, “He looked bad after the general election, but his health seemed to have recovered a lot.” It is said that at the dinner party on this day, there was no discussion of party issues such as the floor leader election and whether to run for the national convention. One attendee said, “Former Chairman Han even made a point of saying that we should look back on the results of the general election, but he did not mention any political issues.” Another attendee said, “It was a ‘meaningful experience,’ and there was only encouragement and consolation, but there was no talk of running for the next party leader.”
Former Chairman Han, who took responsibility for the results of the general election and resigned from his position as chairman of the emergency committee, has ceased public activities. He also declined an offer to have lunch with President Yoon Seok-yeol immediately after the general election, citing health reasons. However, prior to this day’s meeting, he is continuing behind-the-scenes exchanges with people he had connections with in the party, such as holding a dinner meeting with former emergency committee members of the People Power Party on the 16th of last month.
Within the party, there was an interpretation that former Chairman Han was leaving open the possibility of running for the national convention to be held next month if he maintained contact with Yeouido. An official from the People Power Party said, “It is expected that former Chairman Han will seek to strengthen his influence within the party based on his interactions with non-commissioned party members and party officials who ran the general election with him.” A ruling party official said, “Isn’t former Chairman Han maintaining close relationships with recruits and party officials who joined the party at his recommendation and considering running for the next national convention?”
