Former National Intelligence Service Director Park Ji-soo says to Lee Jun-seok, co-chairman of the New Reform Party, ``I would like to express my gratitude to Congressman Ryu Seung-poo...The New Reform Party did not become one as expected.'' - South Korea

Regarding the cancellation of the merger between New Party co-chairman Lee Jun-seok and co-chairman Lee Nak-yeon, Park Ji-won, former director of the National Intelligence Service, said, ``It's not as expected.
"The New Reform Party was not unified." Director Park Former posted on Facebook on the 20th, ``It was a mistake for both Representative Lee Nak-yeon to leave the Democratic Party (opposition party), and Representative Lee Jun-seok will be replaced by Lee Nak-yeon.
It was a mistake to meet him,'' he said. Director Park Former said, ``Representative Lee Jun-seok must join former Rep. Yoo Seung-min (Ryu Seung-oo), even if it means paying homage.
"If we are aiming for new politics under the banner of Mamoru, but are concerned about the number of seats in order to receive state subsidies, we are old politics." He then added, ``I hope that Lee Jun-seok will move forward with clean politics in a dignified manner, as is representative Lee Jun-seok.''
I got it. On the same day, Lee Jun-seok, co-representative of the two Koreas, announced, ``It is with a sense of sadness that I apologize to the people.''
Co-representative Lee Jun-seok held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Center and said, ``For today, I would rather be humble to the people than make any loud statements.''
Reflect idly. I often have to reflect. Maybe I was overconfident in my ability to manage something that took a lot of effort, or perhaps I was too confident in myself.
"I think he may have needlessly cut the hearts of those he cares about." He added, ``I don't mean to criticize anyone. There are many things I want to say, but the people see people's opinions and interpretations intertwined.''
"It will hide it," he added. Prior to this, co-chairman Lee Nak-yon held a press conference at the party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, along with Kim Jung Min, Supreme Committee for the New Future.
At the press conference, he said, ``We will return to a new future, reorganize the party, and quickly set up an election system.We sincerely apologize.The new party integration has failed, and we have caused great disappointment to everyone.We are ashamed of our inadequate decision to integrate.''
It produced a good ending." He continued, ``Without an agreement, the spirit of democracy is being undermined and the maintenance of unity is threatened.Furthermore, they have no intention of ruining the unity or eliminating me.''
It seems that they were planning it from an early stage." On the 9th, co-chairman Lee Jun-seok and co-chairman Lee Nak-yon declared their merger into the new United Reform Party. However, the two sides are at odds over the issue of leadership in the election.
However, it was decided that election leadership would be delegated to co-chairman Lee Jun-seok, leading to a head-on confrontation and a catastrophe.
