Han Dong-hoon, former chairman of the People's Power, revealed the goal of conflict by speaking out differently from President Yoon for five months while serving as the ruling party's head coach.

In the end, it led to the collapse of the leadership in the face of impeachment, and attention is being paid to whether Han, who resigned from his leadership, will decide to run if the early presidential election becomes a reality.

This is reporter Son Hyo-jung.

Former Chairman Han Dong-hoon took the mound in politics in December last year when he was appointed as the chairman of the ruling party's emergency committee in preparation for the general election.

He immediately became the head of the ruling party's general elections from the Minister of Justice, but soon after taking office, he began to rupture with the presidential office in Yongsan.

In the process of emphasizing the "public eye level" in the unfavorable factors from the ruling party, including the controversy over the acceptance of Kim Gun-hee's luxury bags, he was even asked by the president's office to resign.

[Han Dong-hoon / People's Power, then chairman of the emergency committee (last January): I will not go into details because I refused to resign. As far as I know, my term lasts until after the general election.]

Former representative Han, who stepped down after taking responsibility for the crushing defeat in the general election, stepped down as the emergency committee chairman, and entered the party competition by throwing his ballot for the convention.

Even after he was elected as party leader with 62.8% of the vote and more than a majority, what he put forward was "change and reform."

[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of the People's Power (last July): I am happy to be able to spend the first day of my trip to the future with my fellow party members. Let's join in the beginning of the change that we hope for.]

Of course, the conflict between the President and the President is deeper than when he was the emergency committee chairman.

Kim Kyung-soo, former governor of Gyeongnam Province, opposed the reinstatement of the school, and gave a different voice to Yongsan in each phase, including the position of postponing the increase in medical schools in 2026,
The relationship between the ruling party and the government has reached an irreparable level, demanding a personnel reshuffle, an apology, and the appointment of a special inspector over the suspicions of
Kim.

The factional conflict reached its peak due to the emergency martial law incident, after suffering from allegations of "writing slander on the party bulletin board" raised by pro-Yoon-gye.

Immediately after the declaration of martial law, he led the vote to lift martial law, saying, "We will prevent unconstitutional and illegal martial law," and reversed his position on impeachment, but finally turned to approval.

Although he said he would remain in office after the impeachment motion was passed, the responsibility was strongly raised, and the resignation of all elected supreme council members collapsed the "Han Dong-hoon system."

However, Han met with his supporters on the day of his resignation and declared that he would not give up, leaving open the possibility of challenging the next presidential election.

[Han Dong-hoon / Former CEO of People's Power: Everyone, I will do my best to make this country work well until the end. Thank you, everyone.]

It is true that former representative Han is considered a leading presidential candidate, but with the limitations of floor control intact in the face of emergency martial law, attention is being paid to whether he will be able to take the lead again if the early presidential election becomes a reality.
