"President Couple Sees Han Dong-hoon as Enemy"
"Pro-Yoon Faction Trying to Oust Han Dong-hoon and Regain Party Leadership"
"Pro-Han Faction Is Not That Easy to Underestimate," Warning
Shin Ji-ho, Deputy Secretary-General of Strategic Planning from the Pro-Han faction, claimed that "President Yoon Seok-yeol and First Lady Kim Geon-hee see Han Dong-hoon, the leader of the People Power Party, as an enemy." He also warned that although the pro-Yoon faction is trying to oust Han to take control of the party after the president’s impeachment, the pro-Han faction members are not that easy to deal with.
On the 11th, Deputy Secretary-General Shin appeared on Channel A Radio’s 'Political Signal' and stated, "On the 9th, First Lady Kim Geon-hee called a pro-Yoon YouTuber and said, ‘Han Dong-hoon must definitely be dealt with.’ The YouTuber who received the call bragged to someone that ‘I got a call from the First Lady,’ and this story is spreading widely."

Deputy Secretary-General Shin criticized, "In Kim Geon-hee’s fan cafe, there is a scheme to coax Jang Dong-hyuk, a Supreme Council member from the pro-Han faction, and Kim Min-jeon, another Supreme Council member, exchanged text messages with a conservative YouTuber named Park who demanded disciplinary action against Leader Han. While the entire nation is shocked and enraged by the unconstitutional and illegal declaration of martial law, these people are living in a completely different world, trying to chase Han Dong-hoon out and seize party control." He continued, "The official reason for the president’s martial law declaration was to eradicate anti-state forces, but since Han Dong-hoon was ordered to be arrested, in the president’s perception, Han is an anti-state force. The pro-Yoon faction is also trying to bring down Han and regain party control. Their perception is no different from that of the president who declared martial law," he harshly criticized.
When asked by the host, "If Representative Kwon Seong-dong becomes the floor leader on the 12th, will the pro-Han faction pack up and leave?" he replied, "No. Just because the floor leader changes doesn’t mean they will pack up." He added, "They will openly try to collapse the leadership by forcing the resignation of the four Supreme Council members under Han Dong-hoon’s leadership and turn Han into a second Lee Jun-seok, but we are not that easy to deal with," he emphasized.
Regarding President Yoon’s declaration of martial law, he said, "There are even people who are conservative to the bone who say this is absolutely unforgivable," and asked, "If they were true conservatives, could they have done this? No, they couldn’t." He then declared, "This unconstitutional and illegal declaration of martial law is the president falling into the temptation of far-right fanaticism. It is not true conservatism."
