Regarding the representative of the Rebuilding Korea Party, Cho Kuk is demanding a meeting with President Yoon. Former Standing Advisor of the Reform Innovation Party, Kim Chong In, pointed out, “There’s almost no chance that President Yoon will meet with Representative Cho Kuk.”
On the afternoon of May 2nd, during the YTN Radio program, Shin Yul’s News Head-On, Kim said, “Representative Cho Kuk has been increasingly demanding a meeting with President Yoon lately.” He added, “I don’t quite understand why Representative Cho Kuk insists on meeting with President Yoon.”
Kim continued, “President Yoon may meet with the opposition party leader if necessary for state affairs, but I don’t think he’s obligated to meet with the leader of a smaller party.”
When the host asked, “But why does Representative Cho Kuk keep asking for a meeting with the President?” Kim responded, “I’m not sure, but maybe he has a lot of personal feelings for President Yoon and wants to speak directly about them.” He pointed out, “Representative Cho Kuk represents 12 seats, but that number isn’t enough to get anything significant done in the National Assembly. It would be a mistake for Representative Cho Kuk to misunderstand this.”
Kim added, “The Rebuilding Korea Party will likely show a lot of confrontation with the government party, while the Reform Party led by Lee Jun Seok will try to make efforts from a policy perspective calmly.” He argued, “In terms of the stability and continuity of the party, the Reform Party will be better than the one-sided struggle of the Rebuilding Korea Party.”
Meanwhile, on April 20th, Kim described the agreement between President Yoon and Lee Jae Myung, the leader of the Democratic Party, to meet as a “significant development.” He also stated, “In some sense, it’s wrong for the opposition party leader to keep asking to meet with the President. If the opposition party leader meets with the President too often, it could harm their party.”
