Ahn Cheol-soo: “If I can stop Lee Jae-myung, I would even become a ‘cuckoo’.”

An article describes Ahn Cheol-soo, a member of the People Power Party (PPP) running for the presidential nomination, making an appeal to party members. He calls himself the one who can revive the party and defeat Lee Jae-myung, comparing himself to historical figures like Hua Tuo and Zhuge Liang. On April 22, Ahn addressed criticisms from rival Na Kyung-won on Facebook, where she likened him to a “cuckoo” for joining the party but questioned if he aligned with its values. Ahn acknowledged his past political sacrifice for regime change and his collaboration with Yoon Suk-yeol. He urges members to choose someone capable of defeating Lee, aligning himself against those who deny constitutional order and betray public trust, while promoting a vision of Korea becoming an AI powerhouse.
