Presidential Press Conference Announced… Attempt to Rally Support Base

This is interpreted as an attempt to prevent the current decline in approval ratings from shaking the foundation of state administration and to secure momentum for state affairs. The President is reportedly instructing staff members to refrain from mentioning approval ratings.

These approval ratings are analyzed to reflect the public's evaluation of state administration.

This shows that over 20 years, the cohesion of the democratic progressive faction has become stronger. The host interpreted the current approval rating not as a simple decline, but as one based on a solid base of support.

This is a decrease of about 9 percentage points compared to the 49% approval rating at the time of election. The host explained that such a conversion to voter turnout can gauge the size of the actual support base.

They explained that these groups aim to expand their influence by capitalizing on the President's declining approval ratings, with the goal of securing their share for the next Democratic Party presidential candidate. They added that after failing to secure nominations, they are now pressuring for recognition of their share of power by allying with the Cho Kuk Innovation Party and others.

The host claimed that the Cho Kuk Innovation Party is not merely a party with 12 seats, but holds the decisive casting vote that can boost the President's approval rating, which has fallen to the 30% range. The Cho Kuk Innovation Party is leveraging this role to secure a substantial share of power commensurate with it through a merger within the year. This is interpreted as an attempt to strengthen their influence within the party by using the President's approval rating as leverage.

The host pointed out that Kim Eo-jun was the one who revealed his intention for a power struggle, and speculated that Governor Choo's stance changed after receiving Kim Eo-jun's support during the last Gyeonggi Governor election.

The host raised questions about the background of the 'one-person, one-vote system,' which was suddenly introduced shortly after the President's term began. They claimed that it was highly likely a ploy for Representative Jeong Cheong-rae's reelection. They also raised suspicions that the formation of the 'Era of Party Member Sovereignty' organization and discussions for a merger with the Cho Kuk Innovation Party are linked to the one-person, one-vote system, and pointed out that activities of Lee Nak-yon-affiliated figures also overlap with this.

The host claimed that the one-person, one-vote system was likely a ploy for Jeong Cheong-rae's reelection.

This can be interpreted as Governor Choo agreeing to and participating in political manipulation at the time, and can be connected to Governor Choo's recent change of stance. This statement brought back to the surface suspicions of political collusion between specific factions during the past presidential election process.

The host believed that many figures within the current Democratic Party operate under Kim Eo-jun's influence. This was analyzed as not unrelated to the background of Representative Park being mentioned as a candidate for the next Seoul mayor.

The host also emphasized her youthful and flexible way of thinking, adding that it was a pity she did not get a chance to compete in the primaries during the last local elections.

The host mentioned Representative Park Jie-won's situation, where he is seeking re- 도전 (re-challenge) even after failing to become the National Assembly Speaker, and claimed that it is now time for him to retire from politics. In particular, they pointed out that Representative Park Jie-won's 'dark shadow' is cast too heavily over the Honam region. This revealed a critical view of the need for generational change in Honam's political circles, as well as the excessive influence of a specific individual. The host emphasized the opinion that Representative Park should withdraw from politics.

Furthermore, two preliminary candidates who suffered damages related to opinion polls in the Jeonbuk region are planned to be invited to the studio for tonight's broadcast. This is part of an effort to deeply address the issue of electoral fraud in the Honam region and to rebuild hope through it.
