Top opposition party member: ``I don't think former Justice Minister Cao Kuk's candidacy is a negative thing'' - South Korea

On the 8th, Ko Min Jeong, a top member of South Korea's largest opposition party, the Democratic Party of Japan (Democratic Party), commented on former Justice Minister Cho Kuk's rumored run (in the National Assembly general election) and the establishment of a new party.
I think it will be helpful to some extent." On the morning of the 8th, Supreme Commissioner Ko appeared on a South Korean radio program and said, ``From the Democratic Party's perspective, the current so-called Lee Jae-myung
Mr. Cho has a support group that is slightly different from that of the (Japanese) regime. I think it can also be used as a card that can expand the outside a little."
He added, ``We can bring in people who are opposed to the Lee Jae-myung leadership system but have not yet completely given up on their attachment to the Democratic Party.''
Therefore, I think it may be useful to some extent." MC said, ``There is a view that if Mr. Cho launches a new party, it will be unconditionally negative for the Democratic Party,'' but that is not the case.
In response to the question, ``Isn't there an 'unconditional' clause?'', Chief Commissioner Ko replied, ``I don't think it's 'unconditional.''' Regarding Mr. Cho, Supreme Commissioner Ko said, ``Even if you burn yourself out, if there is a place that needs it,
The person I know who can make such a strong case is Mr. Cho.''However, the current situation in politics is not like that, so I think it would be better to make decisions a little more carefully.''
