, ‘[Seoul=Newsis] Shin Jaehyun Reporter = Kim Min-seok, the highest member of the Democratic Party, said regarding the proposal of Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People’s Power, to broadcast live the meeting of the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties on the 21st, “As a leader, you have no assets but as a presidential candidate, you have assets, so did you expect to become like Lee Jae-myung, not to be similar through a TV debate.” ‘,
,
, ‘Kim, the highest member, said in relation to the leader’s proposal on the radio show “Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show,” “I felt that the leader was studying non-essential and peripheral issues a lot.” ‘,
,
, ‘When it was reported that the Democrats would propose to broadcast the entire leaders’ meeting, including Park Jeong-ha, the secretary-general of the People’s Power, the party raised concerns saying, “Do you think of the leaders’ meeting as a political event?” The proposal for the full public disclosure of the leaders’ meeting is known to be an idea of the leader. ‘,
,
, ‘Kim, the highest member, said, “You said that anyone could be the No. 1 issue and do the prosecution’s special investigation, but in fact, (the leader) does not have much power as a leader,” and added, “How to persuade within the party on this issue should be the main concern, but why suggest a live TV broadcast instead? It seems like you imagined something like a TV debate between presidential candidates.” ‘,
,
, ‘He further added, “From the leader’s perspective, if you go out on a TV debate, wouldn’t you become a little prominent as a candidate? So, were you expecting to become like Lee Jae-myung?” ‘,
,
, ‘Kim, the highest member, emphasized, “To talk about achievements, at least you should bring the prosecution’s special investigation law that you mentioned and get approval from the party first.” He also stressed, “(It seems) difficult to get approval, so suddenly talking about something else, I see that.” ‘,
,
, ‘Kim, the highest member, said, “This is not about a presidential candidate, a potential presidential candidate, or even a TV debate,” and said, “A live TV broadcast is not such an important issue, so if (the leader) really wants it, we can consider it.” ‘,
