Democratic Party of Korea to Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo, who is calling for former Chairman Lee Jae-myung to retire, 'Don't withdraw midway'

On the morning of the 9th, Lee Jae-myung, former chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, made it official that he would step down as chairman of the party, and the party is now fully gearing up for the presidential election. Meanwhile, Ahn Cheol-soo of the People Power Party
Regarding Ahn Cheol-soo's urging for former Chairman Lee Jae-myung to retire, the Democratic Party of Korea said, "Don't withdraw halfway through (in Korean, "cheol-soo" means to withdraw, and it was a sarcastic use of Ahn's name).
"Democratic Party of Korea deputy spokesperson Lee Ji-hye said in a commentary on the same day, "Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo called on former Chairman Lee Jae-myung to retire again today. It was like a sorcerer casting a spell.
"Every time they open their mouths, they are shouting, 'Former Representative Lee Jae-myung should step down,'" Deputy Spokesperson Lee Ji-hye said, "They made Yoon Seok-yeol, the leader of the civil war, the president.
The most outstanding person in this position is Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo. Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo said that he would want to cut off his fingers if Yoon Seok-yeol had won the last presidential election, and within 10 days, he shook hands with Yoon Seok-yeol.
The people still vividly remember this betrayal," he said. "This time, we need to prove our faith that they will withdraw midway. There was no withdrawal during the last presidential election.
He criticized Rep. Ahn Cheol-soo's actions during the 20th presidential election, when he supported former President Yoon Seok-youl and ran for a unified candidate, saying that he had said he would not support the party, but instead helped Yoon Seok-youl win by running for unified candidate status in the final stages of the election.
Deputy spokesperson Lee Ji-hye also said, "The message that Ahn Cheol-soo has shown since declaring his candidacy for the presidential election is 'criticism of former Chairman Lee Jae-myung.' He has simply lost his political vision."
"I hope that while former Chairman Myung is casting the spell to decline, he will show his true colors as a presidential candidate who can be recognized for his vision and policies," he said sarcastically.
