Hong Jun-pyo meets with ruling party envoy... ”I will never join hands with the Democratic Party” = South Korea

Hong Jun-pyo, former mayor of Daegu and a key figure in the ruling party People Power Party, who is currently in Hawaii, met with a special envoy from the ruling party on the 19th (local time) and announced that he would be joining the Democratic Party (Democratic Party of Korea).
On the morning of the 20th, Rep. Yoo Sang-beom, who visited Hawaii to persuade former Mayor Hong to join the ruling party's central election committee, said,
In an interview with a Korean radio program, I talked about the conversations I had with former Mayor Hong when I met him a few times. According to Councilman Yoo, former Mayor Hong said, "I have been working on my Feisbook.
He said, "I heard that the cover photo with the blue tie was a hot topic, but I didn't think it was causing a problem," and "I changed it to a red tie right away."
The Democratic Party's symbolic color is blue, while the ruling party's symbolic color is red. Former Mayor Hong continued, "I support the ruling party's candidate Kim Moon-soo and pray for his victory."
"I believe I can play any role in ensuring the victory of the new mayor in any way," he said. The ruling party's special envoy also conveyed a message from candidate Kim to former mayor Hong.
Candidate Kim's message was, "I will accept everything that former Mayor Hong requests. If he returns, I will fully support his decisions and roles.
"I conveyed the entire message, and former Mayor Hong listened carefully to it," Councilman Yoo said.
