[YTN Radio <News Fighting, Bae Seunghee]> Please reveal that it's about the interview.
◆ Producer Kim Woo-sung (hereinafter referred to as Kim Woo-sung): I'm Bae Seung-hee. Let's start part three. There was a by-elections yesterday, right? There are evaluations such as a 2 to 2 victory in the garden. How will CEO Han Dong-hoon's voice change? After the election, he made a number of comments. It's a senior member of the party. I will connect with Rep. Kwon Sung-dong of the People's Power and ask more details about the future prospects. How are you, Senator?

◇ Rep. Kwon Seong-dong of the People's Power (hereinafter referred to as Kwon Seong-dong): Yes, hello. I'm Kwon Seong-dong.

◆Kim Woo-sung: It was a by-elections in which all the leaders of the ruling and opposition parties participated, but nothing happened. This evaluation is coming out. How do you rate it?

◇Gwonseong-dong: We strengthened and won Geumjeong-gu, Busan, because these two areas are traditionally our party's gardens. So I think I defended well, but there was a concern that something unusual might happen there because the government's ruling party's approval rating was low, but anyway, I think local lawmakers nominated well, campaigned well, and the party leadership played their role and defended well.

◆Kim Woo-sung: It was the first by-election under Han Dong-hoon, and Han visited Busan six times and won by more than 20 percentage points. Representative Han's leadership evaluation is coming out like this. What do you think?

◇Kwon Sung-dong: First of all, the party leader's position is well-received only when he wins the election, but I think he will be well-received because he defended well, and if he lost the election, another criticism could have been raised, but the fact that he could have blocked it has formed an advantage for Han.

◆Kim Woo-sung: Yoon Il-hyun, the head of Busan Geumjeong-gu, is elected. When this person became clear, CEO Han Dong-hoon posted this story on social media. The people gave the people an opportunity to change and innovate their power and government. I will lead the change and reform of the government and the ruling party as the people wish. How do you rate the meaning of this word?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Isn't the approval rating of the government and the ruling party at an all-time low? And the government and the party have to change because it is what all the people want, and the members of the party, including the lawmakers, drove representative Han Dong-hoon to make the change with a 62% approval rating. So in making that change, I think CEO Han Dong-hoon should find the way to change and show his wisdom.

◆ Kim Woo-sung: During the election, he made a lot of remarks calling for change and reform while openly raising issues with First Lady Kim Gun-hee and the Presidential Office. Would this have affected the election? Is it a separate matter from the election?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Well, isn't it an election to select local workers in that area? So I don't think this central politics would have had a big impact on local elections, especially because it was not a parliamentary election, but an election where the head of an administrative agency was elected.

◆Kim Woo-sung: There was some political fallout in the case of the Gangseo-gu mayoral by-election. There's also this evaluation. Are you saying that this election is not the case?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: No, it's not that. The election of Gangseo-gu District Mayor was a prelude to the general election, and it was an election to select the head of a local administrative agency after the general election, so I think the situation is a little different from then and now.

◆Kim Woo-sung: I understand that CEO Han Dong-hoon has a problem with continuing to talk openly about the Kim issue. Which part do you think is the most problematic?

◇ Kwon Seong-dong: So, among political problems, there are problems that need to be resolved by public debate and through persuasion or coordination behind the scenes. That's what I'm thinking. That's why I think the media and party supporters can insist on refraining from Kim's activities or replacing the so-called female line. However, in the end, Han and his aides are not the ones who raise the problem, but the ones who have to solve it. So in this regard, I thought it would have been better to persuade them in person rather than public criticism, and I was actually about to have a solo meeting. I have a different view on whether such public pressure will help solve the problem in the end when I'm about to have a solo meeting.

◆Kim Woo-sung: Rep. Kwon Sung-dong said, "Can people who need to solve the problem raise the problem?" I will describe him as a close-knit lawmaker. In the close community, if they point it out behind closed doors, it's not going to improve. What should I say?

◇ Kwon Seong-dong: I have a different opinion on whether it is the right way to criticize and attack as a member of the same party and whether it is the right way to do so as a member of the party and the leadership of the party.

◆Kim Woo-sung: Yes, I see. CEO Han Dong-hoon used expressions such as the seven Hannam-dong members when he mentioned the First Lady Kim line. Related issues also came to mind in the transcript of former administrator Kim Dae-nam, but the lawmaker said very strongly, saying, "Organize from the Dogok-dong 7-member club." Please explain the background more.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: There is no special background, but so-called close people criticized Yongsan by citing suspicions raised by some YouTubers and some media, saying, "There are a few new people in Yongsan." But when I asked one of the seven Hannam-dong people, he said he didn't even know Kim's phone number.

◆Kim Woosung: You mean you asked one of the people mentioned?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Yes, now there are people who go around the city like this. Therefore, some media outlets' raising of these issues is excessive, and I think there is a problem with a group of close aides of a representative who cited it. That's why I expressed it as Dogok-dong 7-member association, referring to the group of Han Dong-hoon's aides, in the sense that raising such a question is not correct.

◆Kim Woo-sung: Let's call it the private information paper you just mentioned. I talked to the names that appeared there and checked them myself, but I don't know. That's what he said.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Now there are articles among reporters that are private information and supporting. If you look there, you can see the names of seven people. So I asked someone I knew because he was right next to me and he said he didn't even know his phone number.

◆ Kim Woo-sung: I don't even know his phone number. This explanation now

◇Kwon Sung-dong: So it is not right for a group of confidants to criticize and attack the president in such a way on some such media suspicions. So, I parodied it in the sense that representative Han's aides are doing well or representative Han is doing well.

◆Kim Woo-sung: He did a parody. I was going to ask who is the Dogok-dong 7-member club, but you just answered that it's a parody.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: I can make enough to make it, too. That's how the seven-member list doesn't want to make a jirashi.

◆Kim Woo-sung: In the process of saying this, there are cases where I actually witnessed it at my private residence. He's a person I've seen often, but there are evaluations like this when he was in the administration. If the people accept this as it is, they may misunderstand. How would you like to explain it?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Isn't it natural for people who worked hard in the camp during the election and who intuitively helped the candidate couple to enter the presidential office? All the candidates did that. Didn't you say Kim Young-sam and Kim Dae-jung were the god of Kim Young-sang's Kim Dae Jung in the past? All of those people worked in the presidential office. But if the people you saw there didn't play their roles and went in, there would be a problem, but I played my own role, didn't I? I've done my part. The friends who did it are now working in Yongsan. But it's not right for me to make such a ridiculous criticism. In particular, isn't our government and the ruling party on the same side? It is my opinion that criticizing and criticizing the same thing in that way is not desirable in the end for the sake of the government and the ruling party, or for the direction of moving forward.

◆Kim Woo-sung: Actually, lawmaker Kwon Sung-dong was often mentioned in such expressions as a key official of the so-called president of Yoon Suk Yeol, so I saw him as the leader of the camp, and you're talking about this. I see. Now, the expression is a little different, such as a private meeting or an interview, but I'm also curious when it will be held. If this is the case, there is a lot of concern that there will be any message about specific progress or change in the current solitary confinement.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Well, I'm one of the people who is concerned about that because such criticism and criticism against the president and his wife came out in advance, so isn't it an animal of emotion that the party leader is a person like this? No matter how important matters are now to be judged rationally, but it is necessary to refrain from criticizing each other before the interview or dictatorship, and to tone down the opponent, including Yongsan and Han. That's what I think. What I want to say at this point is that our representative Han Dong-hoon received 63% of the support at the convention. The intention of these party members was not to say that representative Han Dong-hoon should fight against the president to discriminate, but to change the government and the ruling party with the president. But after the national convention, CEO Han Dong-hoon has now set an angle with Yongsan. However, since the approval rating has increased, it has rather decreased. So, once again, I hope that we will reflect on the 63% meaning of these party members and work together to harmonize the party and the government.

◆ Kim Woo-sung: The result of the convention is a change, which means that this government and the ruling party should change together. You mean, don't attack the president's office?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: It's not about discrimination, it's about working together to restore the public's approval rating through the form of change. Then, I think we need to think more about how to go that way.

◆ Kim Woo-sung: In the end, at the moment the president and representative Han Dong-hoon meet, should the various situations you just mentioned be agreed upon or something should come out as a message to the people? Or should I try something different even underwater before that?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Isn't that what you're talking about behind the scenes with the party leader's office and the secretary's office in Yongsan? However, I think that the disagreement will not be resolved quickly by meeting overnight, and if it doesn't work out at once, I think it's necessary to meet twice or three times to coordinate opinions.

◆Kim Woo-sung: There is a bit of a gap to jump at once, so more attempts are needed, he said. Now, what's all over the news is the suspicion of reporting related to Myung Tae-kyun's remarks. A lot of people are being summoned by each word of this person, but the lawmaker's name came out for a while. While talking about the so-called Cherry Ttabong, the name also appeared slightly, but whenever this person's name is called, his passport is in a bit of a dilemma.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: I've never met a person named Myung Tae-kyun, talked to him, and exchanged messages. But I don't know why my name came out in that remark, but anyway, I am like that. When I first ran for the National Assembly, everyone ran for the first time, and many people come and tell me about election strategies and election methods and campaign methods. I don't know well when it comes out for the first time, so I listen to many people's opinions. So, the choice among them is the candidate's decision, and I think he was one of the many people who helped President Yoon. I don't know anything about the relationship between the president and his wife, so I have nothing more to say.

◆Kim Woosung: I know. This person must have experience in various investigations in the past, but I don't need to touch it. Don't touch it. If you don't know, you should ask First Lady Kim or President Yoon and know whether to touch it or not. I use this expression. How do you see that?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Well, I think there is a problem with the political community's sensitive reaction to Myung Tae-kyun's comment.

◆ Kim Woo-sung: Reaction itself is a problem.

◇ Kwon Seong-dong: That's a problem to solve on your own. And I was the general manager during the primary camp and the secretary general in the general election. I've never heard of Myung Tae-kyun at that time, and I've never heard of him talking about any election strategy or campaign. I've never established any election strategy or campaign under his influence.

◆ Kim Woo-sung: I have never seen him in the election process.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: I may have communicated with the presidential candidate, but I made it clear that such opinions have never been conveyed or reflected in our campaign, and I never asked him to conduct a poll.

◆Kim Woo-sung: As former Supreme Council member Jang Ye-chan said, I think it means in the context that there was no substantial action or result about his suspicions. I would like to reiterate that it is about Cherry Tabong, which I mentioned earlier, not directly referring to Representative Kwon Sung-dong. Anyway, the contents of the conversation were released, so there is a debate about whether my brother is the president or my brother. The president's office's explanation is that it's his own brother, but even within the ruling party, he said, "How can you explain this like that? This is a problem for my own brother right now, and it's even more a problem for the president." How do you see this?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Well, I can't criticize you with anything to criticize you. However, the media also believes that it is inappropriate to disclose such private conversations and that there is a problem in raising this to indiscriminate suspicion.

◆Kim Woo-sung: It's not like who's older than me, but as you said before, the mayor of Hong Joon Pyo said about the election, but some people pointed out that it's wrong to leave a Kakao Talk message with someone who shouldn't have filtered out when many people are coming.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: So there's no end to criticizing. However, every vote is valuable during the election, and looking at the contents of Myung Tae-kyun's interview, it seems that his opinion on his election strategy and election structure is very plausible. So when I heard that kind of opinion, I thought that there were a lot of text exchanges because I didn't trust him at the time.

◆Kim Woo-sung: Yes. It's one of the things that happens in many election processes.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: I went out for the first time during the election, and so many people came, so all of them are election experts. But I can't help but listen to what they're saying. I think the Korean people also need to understand that such candidates and their families had difficulties.

◆Kim Woosung: Yes, sir. And I think I need to ask you one more question about the Democratic Party. First of all, they drew 2 to 2 in the election for the main garden, but criticism is being raised over the delay of the trial over representative Lee Jae-myung's trial. Sentencing is now scheduled for next month. What do you think?

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Representative Lee Jae-myung is delaying the trial by not attending or requesting reallocation. And if you look at it now, all of the Democratic Party's recent actions are being carried out under one grand strategy. First of all, the Democratic Party of Korea's consistent line is that it will impeach the president and hold an early presidential election, and that the Democratic Party of Korea will win the presidential election to clear away the judicial risk that Chairman Lee Jae-myung had. However, if the first trial finds him guilty in November, this strategy against representative Lee Jae-myung will inevitably be violated. As a result, we delayed the trial as much as possible, and we thought that we were hoping for a rapid change in the situation, and then we continued to ignite martial law theory by saying that the Yoon Suk Yeol government might do martial law. Why did they ignite martial law?

◆ Kim Woo-sung: Nothing substantive has come out yet when I was asked to give evidence.Only

◇ Kwon Seong-dong: I also suspect that the Democratic Party of Korea continued to insist on martial law with the intention of using some other means to confuse this country, starting with the first trial date of representative Lee Jae-myung.

◆Kim Woo-sung: In the end, you evaluated that the intention of impeachment or regime change is at the core. That's all for today's talk.

◇Kwon Seong-dong: Yes, thank you.

◆Kim Woo-sung: We'll ask you again next time. This has been Rep. Kwon Sung-dong.
