After the baseball season, sit by the warm fire and prepare for the next season. It's 2023 without big elections, but our politics are still hot. Svspremium's off-season political consulting <Stove League>! We provide consulting on Korean politics with leading political analysts in Korea.


The People's Power National Convention, which recorded the highest voter turnout ever at 55.1%, ended on the 8th. As if to confirm the saying that "the representative is Kim Ki-hyun anyway", candidate Kim Ki-hyun won the first round of voting, winning 1.52% of the votes, winning a majority and being elected party leader. However, there are also concerns about the aftermath of the negative (allegations of Ulsan land market profits, remarks made by Eomseokdae, etc.). What will it take for the newly elected party leadership to have a soft landing? He was joined by Kim Byung-min, a member of the Supreme Council of People's Power, who was elected to the Supreme Council with 93.16% of the vote.



'Box office success' convention... What is the observation review?

Representative Park Sung-min (political consultancy MIN) diagnosed that the convention was an election that proved that "Yoon Sim is the party."



Representative
Park Sung-min It's clear that President Kim Ki-hyun is pushing, but he doesn't elect Kim Ki-hyun? Then the party elected the president and voted no confidence. From the beginning, this convention was for President Yoon Seok-yeol, by President Yoon Seok-yeol, and I think it was proven that "Yoon Shim is the party." But I'm not sure if it's a public sentiment.


Yoon Tae-gon (Dermoa's Political Analysis Office) says the responsibilities of pro-Yoon figures who control the party leadership will become even greater.



Yoon Tae-gon's
mainstream camp is in the president's office and breathing is right, so I can't blame anyone anymore. What will the ruling camp (the one with the authority to do) do, 'What are you going to do with Heaven Haram? What are you going to do with Ahn Cheol-so?'


Kim Byung-min, a member of the Supreme Council of People's Power, had a slightly different view from the two consultants.



Is Supreme Council member
Kim Byung-min Thae Yong-ho pro-Yoon? I really don't know. Why did party members choose Thae Yong-ho? I would like at least one person to speak out on the North Korean issue. And he said, 'You can never put someone like me (Thae Yong-ho) in the Democratic Party as a member of Congress or put him in a leadership position. But the Conservative Party can do it,' so they made a choice.

Elections that were rife with negatives, what challenges remained?

It was a convention where negatives were rampant, such as party leader Kim Ki-hyun's "allegations of Ulsan land market profits," former representative Lee Joon-suk's "stern remarks," and the controversy over the sublease intervention of the executive of the presidential office. There is talk of sequelae being a concern. What are the challenges left to the power of the people?




What is the role of party leader Kim Ki-hyun?

As the elections have been held in a tight race, there are many challenges that Party Chairman Kim Ki-hyun needs to solve. What kind of attitude does Kim need in such a situation?



Representative Park Sung-min
and Cheon Haram are the same as candidates Heo Eun-ah, Kim Yong-tae, and Lee Ki-in in that regard, but I don't think they said anything that would be unacceptable to the party. If the party is to become a public sentiment, acknowledging the credit of Cheon Haram and Ahn Cheol-so is the way to win the general election.


Park Sung-min and Yoon Tae-gon advise party leader Kim Ki-hyun that "there is also a need to betray."



Director Yun Taigon
Can people who are said to be real pro-Yun appear in the ground for the entire nation? I think you're going to judge that dispassionately. So, wouldn't Party Chairman Kim Ki-hyun be able to expand his space by utilizing such a detailed structure?

Who would tell
President Park Sung-min that this is not the public sentiment? In the president's office? Does. Ministers in the Cabinet? Does. The only thing he does is the party leader. The party leader has to convey the sentiments of the people, and I think that party leader Kim Ki-hyun should think about this.

Relationship between the ruling party and the president

Yoon Tae-gon says the relationship between the ruling party and the president also needs to be reestablished.
