, ‘Regarding the controversy raised by Jang Ye-chan, former youth chief of the People Power Party who left the party due to the nomination issue, and Yang Moon-seok, a Democratic Party congressman, about the comment team suspicion, he dismissed it as “nonsense,” and criticized, “What is dismal is that Won Hee-ryong is stepping up.

,
, ‘Regarding the criticisms from Na Kyung-won and Won Hee-ryong that “the opposition is heading for impeachment laid out by the ruling party,” he said, “I hope you will see who is the best person to block such attempts,” and “Supporters dislike the word impeachment itself, but because those who want to run for party leader sing impeachment songs, there are much more articles about it,” he pointed out.’,
