,
, ‘(Seoul=Yonhap News) Reporter Go Sang-min = The election for the National Assembly Speaker candidate for the first half of the 22nd National Assembly of the Democratic Party of Korea has turned into a marketing battle centered on Mingsim (明心, intentions of Lee Jae-myung, the leader) until the last minute.’,
,
, ‘ As most of the elected members of the 22nd General Election are in the “friendly to Lee Jae-myung” camp, it is interpreted as a strategy to capture their preferences by emphasizing “Mingsim.”.’,
,
, ‘ National Assembly Speaker candidate Rep. Woo Won-sik appeared on the YouTube program “Kim Eo-jun’s News Factory” on the eve of the election on the 15th and said that Lee Jae-myung, the party leader, told him, “\’The National Assembly needs to fight decisively, but at the same time, it also needs to achieve results with stability. On that point, you are suitable, so work hard.\”.’,
,
, ‘ Prior to this, rival candidate Choo Mi-ae also mentioned that Lee expressed his wishes several times regarding the election of the Speaker on the 13th, especially saying to her, “I hope things go according to principles” and “I hope you do well.”, according to a report.’,
,
, ‘ Generally, there has been a convention to value the “number of supporters” the most when electing the National Assembly Speaker candidate, so it was interpreted that Lee supported herself because she had the most supporters. In the 22nd National Assembly, Rep. Choo is a 6-term lawmaker and Rep. Woo, her opponent, is a 5-term lawmaker.’,
,
, ‘ However, Rep. Woo criticized the increasing support for “Choo Mi-ae as the Speaker” within the party, saying, “It is strange to suddenly talk about numbers and conventions when we need to make a reform-oriented and innovative National Assembly. My age is the oldest.”.’,
,
, ‘ Regarding the unity of the two candidates ahead of the election for the National Assembly Speaker, Rep. Woo questioned, “Since I have the most years of experience, if both 6-term lawmakers fail, what happens if a 5-term lawmaker wins?”‘,
,
, ‘ Criticism has also been raised about the ongoing “Mingsim marketing” in the process of selecting the Speaker of the National Assembly, which is considered the second most prestigious position in the nation after the head of state.’,
,
, ‘ Rep. Park Ji-won, who initially considered running but eventually decided not to, pointed out during an interview on “Kim Eo-jun’s News Factory” that “people who aim to become the second most powerful figure in power are selling out Lee Jae-myung too one-sidedly” and stated that “spreading false rumors through Mingsim is all lies.”‘,
,
, ‘ Rep. Woo Sang-ho, a four-term lawmaker, also expressed concern in a recent radio interview, saying, “I felt self-doubt as I saw mid-level lawmakers dropping out. If they stopped due to some persuasion, it is a serious problem to have the second most powerful figure in South Korea decided by the party leader or the leader of the ruling party.”,
