"Not a Failed Coup, But Could Be Considered a Success"

At the time of President Yoon Seok-yeol's inauguration in 2022, Han Dong-hoon, the former leader of the People Power Party, known as 'real Yoon' and 'the Crown Prince of the Yoon government,' launched an attack on the pro-Yoon faction.

On the 11th, former leader Han expressed strong criticism regarding the attempt to replace candidate Kim Moon-soo. He characterized the situation as a 'pro-Yoon coup,' asserting that there is no future for conservative politics without holding those responsible accountable.

On this day, through his social media, former leader Han stated, "If the coup is suppressed but the coup forces continue to maintain their positions, then that coup is not a failure but a success," adding, "For the People Power Party to rise again, the pro-Yoon coup forces must be held accountable."

He continued, "Otherwise, the hopes and energy for conservative politics that have struggled to sprout yesterday will quickly disappear," warning, "Conservative politics will inevitably plunge back into darkness."

"Like Pumping Up a Theme Stock, Who is Behind Han Deok-soo?"

Former leader Han directly criticized the party leadership's attempts to replace candidates. He questioned, "For over a month, who are the ones behind the efforts to elevate Han Deok-soo like stock manipulation, disrupting our party's presidential election and ultimately paving the way for Lee Jae-myung?"

Furthermore, he pointed out, "What is the reason that pro-Yoon figures are still so influenced by the former president and his spouse?" raising suspicions that the shadow of a former president's family is still affecting the operation of the party.

Previously, after selecting candidate Kim Moon-soo, the People Power Party leadership, failing to unify with former Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, resorted to the extreme measure of disqualifying the candidate and allowing only former Prime Minister Han to run. However, during the ARS voting by party members on the 10th, the proposal for replacement was rejected, allowing candidate Kim to regain his eligibility.

"A Day That Showed the Possibility of Liquidating Pro-Yoon Politics"

Former leader Han commented on the failure to replace candidates, describing it as "a day that showed the possibility that if only rational party members are present, pro-Yoon old politics can be eliminated and the party can be rebuilt as a reasonable conservative party."

He emphasized, "Just as the pro-Yoon coup was thwarted yesterday, attempts to privatize the party will no longer work," asserting, "The people and party members will not be led by political machinations."
