Democratic Party member urges party to 'wake up' and support President Lee

Park Ji-won, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, has urged his party to "wake up" and support President Lee Jae-myung, stating that the party's defeat would lead to ruin for all.

“

If President Lee loses, we all die.

Park made the remarks on Facebook, reacting to the results of the People Power Party's floor leader election. He criticized the notion that the election would benefit the Democratic Party, emphasizing that politics should not be solely about advantage and that one person's misfortune does not guarantee another's happiness. He expressed concern about a "Republic of Korea where Yoon Again, Park Geun-hye, and MB are rampant," describing them as "shameless."

The People Power Party elected Jeong Jin-seok, a three-term prosecutor-turned-lawmaker and a close ally of President Yoon Suk-yeol, as its new floor leader. Park noted that despite President Lee's approval rating nearing 70% after one year in office, it has since plummeted. He cited media reports indicating a "dead cross," where negative evaluations surpass positive ones, as a cause for concern.

Politics should not be solely about advantage.

Citing opinion polls showing similar support for both the Democratic Party and the People Power Party, Park declared that the Democratic Party "went down in one fell swoop." He stressed that President Lee's success in the remaining two years of his term is crucial for the party's victory in future general and presidential elections, warning that "if we lose, we all die."

“

A Republic of Korea where Yoon Again, Park Geun-hye, and MB are rampant has no future.

"Let's wake up, Democratic Party, so that President Lee can succeed," Park urged. "The method is known to the public and party members, but the Democratic Party must not close its eyes. Open your eyes. Open them wide."

Let's wake up, Democratic Party, so that President Lee can succeed.
