Regarding Han Dong-hoon's Position: "He Will Be Abandoned by Yoon"
Cho Kuk, leader of the Cho Kuk Innovation Party, predicted that Han Dong-hoon, the Emergency Response Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, would be abandoned by President Yoon Seok-yeol and the ruling party after the general election. Cho, who received a prison sentence in the second trial for charges including admission fraud and covering up Blue House inspections, said that if the Supreme Court also confirms the prison sentence, he "must go to prison," but he plans to manage his health through reading and exercise while in prison.
On the 1st, Cho appeared on the YouTube channel 'Kim Eo-jun's Humility is Difficult News Factory' and made these remarks. First, he forecasted Han's position after the general election. He said, "(The People Power Party) will judge that Han no longer has any utility value," and predicted that Han would be abandoned by President Yoon and the ruling party.
Regarding the 'Han Dong-hoon Special Prosecutor Act,' which was announced as the first bill of the 22nd National Assembly, he said, "If the bill is introduced after the general election, I speculate that President Yoon or pro-Yoon lawmakers might support it," adding, "I speculate that the Democratic Party, Cho Kuk Innovation Party, and some members of the People Power Party might support it, leading to its passage."
In response to Han criticizing him by saying, "There is a country where those in power can do anything to defend their family's crimes and suppress opponents," Cho retorted, "This is Han Dong-hoon's self-confession."

He then pointed out, "In reality, Yoon Seok-yeol (President), Kim Geon-hee (First Lady), and Han Dong-hoon (Chairman) are currently shielding themselves. The 'shielding alliance' is being formed by themselves, but they are unjustly stigmatizing those who are already in a state where shielding is impossible."
Cho also rebutted In Yo-han, the election committee chairman of the People’s Future Party, who described the opposition’s attacks on First Lady Kim as "Even the mafia does not touch children and wives." Cho emphasized, "Who actually touched the children and wives? (In Yo-han's remark) means that President Yoon Seok-yeol is a criminal ranked below the mafia."
When the host asked, "What will happen to politician Cho Kuk if the Supreme Court confirms the prison sentence?" Cho replied, "(I) cannot manipulate the judiciary. I will abide by the law and procedures," but targeted President Yoon and Chairman Han by saying, "The problem is that there is a special group that does not even undergo investigation, so they are not indicted and have not received guilty verdicts."
He added, "I don’t know whether the two-year prison sentence will be upheld as is or partially overturned and reduced," and said, "While I was busy with trials and politics, I couldn’t read books, so I will read books, do push-ups, squats, and planks, and manage my health diligently so that I can come out [of prison] in good shape."
