Jang Je-won: "Yoon Seok-yeol Must Not Fall into the Trap of 'The Greatest Political Broker' Kim Jong-in"

On the 14th, Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, warned, "If former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol also falls into Kim Jong-in's trap, divides the opposition, and participates in handing over power to the Democratic Party, it will be an unforgivable sin in history."

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Choyoung] On the 14th, Jang Je-won, a member of the People Power Party, sharply criticized former emergency committee chairman Kim Jong-in, saying, "Pouring out cursed slanders just a little over a week after the election ended is nothing but greedy party shaking."

On the same day, Jang said on his Facebook, "The greedy political technician filled with old desires of former Chairman Kim seems to be able to plunge the presidential election phase into division and confusion."

Jang stated, "As soon as former Chairman Kim stepped down, he indiscriminately targeted the People Power Party using harsh expressions such as 'Asaripan' (a chaotic battlefield)," and added, "If the People Power Party is seduced by the greed disguised as advice from former Chairman Kim, it will fall into his trap."

Jang also criticized, "Endlessly hunting for highly possible presidential candidates, misleading them as if they could win the presidency if he helps, presenting excessive political bills, and if the bills are not accepted, falling away again and shooting?this technician politics must be eradicated as an old evil."

He continued, "Former Presidents Park Geun-hye and Moon Jae-in were made by the times, not by a few petty political technicians," and warned, "If former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol also falls into Kim Jong-in's trap, divides the opposition, and participates in handing over power to the Democratic Party, he will commit an unforgivable sin in history."

Jang added, "History proves that so-called third zones or hastily formed flash-in-the-pan parties before the presidential election cannot create a regime," and said, "Is it possible to create a regime excluding the People Power Party? It will definitely fail, and former Chairman Kim will be recorded as a notorious broker politician."

Earlier, in an interview with a media outlet released on the 13th, former Chairman Kim was asked, "Do you think former Prosecutor General Yoon will join the People Power Party?" He replied, "What benefit would there be in going to the Asaripan? (joining the party)" and said, "A situation may unfold where he goes to a new party as former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop mentioned. I no longer have affection for the People Power Party. I will never go to the People Power Party."
