, “Cho Kuk, leader of the Cho Gookhyeoksin Party, claimed that if the People’s Power is defeated in the upcoming by-election for the Geumjeong-gu Mayor in Busan on the 16th, Han Dong-hoon, the leader, will have to resign. A defeat in the ‘conservative stronghold’ is expected to be particularly fatal for leadership.”,
,
, ‘On the night of the 14th, Cho stated on the CBS radio program ‘Park Jaehong’s Game of Success’, “From a political perspective, Geumjeong-gu has been known as the People’s Power’s stronghold. If the candidate unified by the Democratic Party and the Cho Gookhyeoksin Party wins, it would immediately cause a significant uproar within the ruling power,” and added, “Can Han maintain his position as the leader immediately?.”‘,
,
, ‘When asked by the host, “Does this mean that Han would have to resign?” Cho responded, “I believe he will have no choice but to do so,” and said, “Even if the unified candidate narrowly wins, I think Han will be in a very critical situation.”‘,

, ‘It is Cho’s argument that if the People’s Power fails to defeat the opposition single candidate by a wide margin, Han would be engulfed in a crisis. She explained, “Recently, it seems like Han criticized Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Geon-hee, saying ‘Kim Geon-hee, stay away,’ ‘Reform the presidential office and get rid of Kim Geon-hee’s line,’ as his support dropped. Will Yoon and Kim just sit back and watch?”‘,
,
, ‘She further said, “Recent various opinion polls show that dissatisfaction with Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Geon-hee is very high even in Geumjeong-gu,” and added, “I am convinced that the public will issue a warning about ‘Yoon Seok-yeol and Kim Geon-hee joint reign’ in this election.”‘,
,
, ‘Following the death of the late Kim Jae-yoon, former Mayor of Busan Geumjeong-gu, this by-election for the Busan Geumjeong-gu Mayor has become a fierce competition between Yoon Il-hyeon from the People’s Power and Kim Gyeong-ji, who underwent candidate unification with the Cho Gookhyeoksin Party and the opposition.’,
,
, ‘According to the National Election Commission, the early voting held on the 11th and 12th recorded a final early voting rate of 20.63%, with 39,314 out of 195,889 eligible voters participating. This is a level similar to the early voting rates of the Busan mayoral by-election three years ago (20.62%) and the local elections in 2022 (21.3%).’,
