, ‘Kim Gyeong-ryul, former emergency response committee member of the People Power Party, has called for Won Hee-ryong, former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, to retire from politics.’,
,
, ‘Former committee member Kim appeared on the CBS Radio show ‘Kim Hyeon-jeong’s News Show’ on the 29th and said, “I remember that during the party leader candidate debate, candidate Won Hee-ryong said he would stake his political life on recommending Kim Gyeong-ryul as head of the Financial Services Commission.’He then criticized that “If you make such a promise, at least keep it. It is appropriate for candidate Won Hee-ryong to step away from the political sphere.”‘,
,
, ‘Kim also stated, “It is not appropriate for candidate Han Dong-hoon to recommend me as head of the Financial Services Commission. The proposal to appoint the head of the Financial Services Commission came about a year ago from the Blue House. There was even a detailed personnel verification process, but it disappeared in the process.”‘,
,
, “Helped Won Hee-ryong during the presidential election… but now being attacked as part of Han Dong-hoon’s leftist group”,
,
, ‘In particular, former Minister Kim strongly criticized Won Hee-ryong for raising issues about candidate Han Dong-hoon’s family during the party leadership race, calling it divisive politics. Kim stated, “I had a good image of Candidate Won and thought he had some influence, so I had communicated with him. It was disappointing to see someone who used to communicate with me, now attacking me with divisive politics that I thought had disappeared.”‘,
,
, ‘He also criticized the attacks from Won’s side that he and Professor Jin Jung-kwon of Kwangwoon University were exerting influence over candidate Han Dong-hoon as a ‘leftist group’, saying, “Professor Jin strongly opposed this, and there was no advisory group to begin with. Yet they spread the discourse that ‘a leftist group exists around candidate Han Dong-hoon.'”,
,
, ‘He then exclaimed, “When Candidate Won ran for president, I drove all night to Daegu to participate in a YouTube broadcast in support of him, and when there were current issues, we would gather at 6 or 7 in the morning and have discussions. And now, for Candidate Han Dong-hoon, he meets with Kim Gyeong-ryul and Jin Jung-kwon to plan attacks. How can he justify that?”‘,
,
, ‘Kim added, “If our society is right, Candidate Won should leave the political scene due to the tangible and intangible pressures from the people. However, judging from the appearance of the People Power Party, the future looks bright for Candidate Won. In the upcoming by-elections, local elections, and subsequent presidential elections, Candidate Won will be mentioned as a leading candidate each time. This is the reality of the People Power Party, and broadly speaking, the political landscape of our country.”‘,
