On the 23rd, Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo commented on the People Power Party's election of candidate Han Dong-hoon as the new party leader at the party convention, "The choice of party members is the basis for the election.
If that is the case, it cannot be helped, but it is disappointing," he said. In a post on Facebook after the People Power Party Conference, Mayor Hong said, "For the time being, I must refrain from involvement in central politics.
"I hope that we will come together and overcome this difficult situation," he added. Prior to this, Mayor Hong had been criticizing Korean candidates every day ahead of the party convention.
Mayor Hong has previously used strong language to attack Han Shin-in, calling him a "sociopath" and saying that he is "a demon who bites at anyone in order to survive on his own."
