In Yohan: "Han Dong-hoon should have left beautifully... It's hard to come back"

"Opposition Party Accused of Undermining Separation of Powers with Impeachment and Special Prosecutor"
"Tried to Reconcile President and Han Dong-hoon, But Failed"

In Yohan In, a member of the People Power Party, judged that it would be difficult for former leader Han Dong-hoon to rise as a presidential candidate after resuming politics. On the 11th, In, who is part of the pro-Yoon faction, appeared on YTN Radio's 'News Fighting' and expressed a firm stance on the December 3 emergency martial law, saying, "I understand it emotionally, but I cannot agree with the method." He continued, "It seems that the extreme choice was made after suffering from the Democratic Party, which cut the budget and paralyzed the government," and criticized the decision to choose martial law by saying, "It is true that many people became aware of this through martial law, but even now, I feel like crying. It was a wrong decision."

Regarding former leader Han, who recently resumed politics, In also commented. He said, "We exchanged greetings via text at the end of the year," and pointed out, "Han did not leave gracefully when he departed." He added, "Han is originally an important asset of our party. He is smart and eloquent," but said, "However, since he could not reconcile with the president and left without winning over the hearts of the party members (lawmakers), it is realistically difficult for him to return."

In responded to the host's question about the movements of the ruling party's potential presidential candidates by saying, "Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon comes to the National Assembly today as well, and I will also attend the event where Mayor Oh is present," and added, "I had a long conversation with Daegu Mayor Hong Joon-pyo even on the plane." Furthermore, he said, "However, since the president might return first, although my heart is impatient, we must wait calmly," and quoted a Western proverb, "Don't count the chicks before they hatch. It's hard for me too, but I am trying to keep it."

He showed a cautious stance on an early presidential election, which would be held if the Constitutional Court accepts the impeachment of President Yoon. Finally, in response to the host's question about whether the ruling party is preparing for various possibilities, In said, "I gave such ideas to the party," emphasizing, "We need to prepare well for two plans: Plan A if impeachment happens, and Plan B if it does not."

On that day, In also criticized the current opposition party, the Democratic Party of Korea. He said that the current Democratic Party is different from the past during former President Kim Dae-jung's era, stating, "Having experienced this (impeachment) about 30 times, this ultimately means going beyond the National Assembly and damaging the judiciary, the president, and the separation of powers," and added, "I respect President Kim Dae-jung, who invited former Presidents Chun Doo-hwan and our Roh Tae-woo to his inauguration ceremony. I hope to see that kind of politics."
